How To: Basic Drum Rudiments


Transcription
I’m going to teach you some rudiments here. There are 36 rudiments. You can google it and I’m going to fire off some rudiments. Rudiments are a fancy way of saying tools, these are tools that you can have in your ammunition when you play drum set or marching band is that you kind of build these letters, help you build words to communicate in speaking. These are going to be your tools your words as a drummer you can throw in to make an articulate statement. The next thing I’m going to teach is you called a flam. It’s kind of this water fall sound to it and that’s what the sticks are going to do. You have a grace note because it’s graceful and the second one is going to be heard. So in a flam, all it is you’re going to start 3 4 inches off and you have your other stick at a 12. If you drop it at the same time, because the left hand is lower to the head it’s going to be softer and give a softer grace note. So that’s what a flam is. It sounds kind of like one fat note. And we can switch hands have the right had be the grace note. We can do this hand to hand. So that’s the flam. You can use it on its own or you can apply it to other rudiments. You can put the same concept on the paradiddle and play flam left right right flam right left left. You can use this on the drum set. It’ll give it a fat note and a very loose and groovy. Another rudiment I can teach you is called the ruff. It sounds like as its name. So unlike a flam, the grace note is doubled. So it gives a ruff sound.
