In percussion music, a rudiment is one of a number of relatively small patterns which form the foundation for more extended and complex drum patterns. The term "rudiment" in this context means not only "basic", but also fundamental. While any level of drumming may, in some sense, be broken down by analysis into a series of component rudiments, the term "drum rudiment" is most closely associated with various forms of field drumming, also known as rudimental drumming.
Rudimental drumming has something of a flexible definition, even within drumming societies devoted to that form of drumming. For example, the longest running website on rudimental drumming defines it as "the study of coordination,"[1] whereas the Percussive Arts Society defines rudimental drumming as a particular method for learning the drums—beginning with rudiments, and gradually building up speed and complexity through practicing those rudiments.[2] (An analogy might be made to learning the piano by first learning scales and arpeggios, as opposed to beginning by taking a full piece of music and grinding through it bit by bit, to the end.)
The origin of snare rudiments can be traced back to Swiss mercenaries armed with long polearms. The use of pikes in close formation required a great deal of coordination. The sound of the tabor was used to set the tempo and communicate commands with distinct drumming patterns. These drumming patterns became the basis of the snare drum rudiments.
The first written rudiment goes back to the year 1612 in Basel, Switzerland.[3] The cradle of rudimental drumming is said to be France, where professional drummers became part of the King's honour guard in the 17th and 18th centuries. The craft was perfected during the reign of Napoleon I. Le Rigodon is one of the cornerstones of modern rudimental drumming.[3]
There have been many attempts to formalize a standard list of snare drum rudiments. The National Association of Rudimental Drummers, an organization established to promote rudimental drumming, put forward a list of 13 essential rudiments, and later a second set of 13 to form the original 26. In 1984, the Percussive Arts Society reorganized the first 26 and added another 14 to form the current 40 International Drum Rudiments.[4] Currently, the International Association of Traditional Drummers is working to once again promote the original 26 rudiments.[citation needed]
Today there are four main Rudimental Drumming cultures: Swiss Basler Trommeln, Scottish Pipe Drumming, American Ancient Drumming, and American Modern Drumming.[citation needed]
Rudiments according to the Percussive Arts Society.[5]
The single-stroke roll consists of alternating sticking (i.e., RLRL, etc.) of indeterminate speed and length.
No. | Name | Notation | Example | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
1. | Single Stroke Roll | Evenly-spaced notes played with alternating sticking. Though usually played fast, even half notes with alternating sticking would be considered a single stroke roll. | ||
2. | Single Stroke Four |
Play media
|
Four notes played with alternating sticking, usually as a triplet followed by an eighth note. (as in the picture) or as three grace notes before a downbeat (like a ruff). | |
3. | Single Stroke Seven | Seven notes played with alternating sticking, usually as sextuplet followed by a quarter note. |
No. | Name | Notation | Example | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
4. | Multiple Bounce Roll | Alternating handed strokes with no specific number of bounces. Should sound even and continuous. Also called "buzz roll" or "press roll" (most often when referred to in the context of drum-set playing). | ||
5. | Triple Stroke Roll |
Play media
|
Alternating handed strokes with three specific strokes. Each stroke can be bounced or wristed. Also called a "French roll." |
There are 10 official variants of the double-stroke roll.[5]
No. | Name | Notation | Example | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
6. | Double Stroke Open Roll (Long Roll) | Like the single-stroke roll, usually played fast, but even when played slowly, alternating diddles are considered a double stroke roll. Played so each individual note can be heard distinctly. | ||
7. | Five Stroke Roll | Two diddles followed by an accented note. | ||
8. | Six Stroke Roll |
Play media
|
Unlike most other double stroke rudiments, the six stroke roll begins with an accented single note. Then it is followed by two diddles and another accented note. | |
9. | Seven Stroke Roll | Three diddles followed by an accented note. Usually a sextuplet followed by a quarter note. | ||
10. | Nine Stroke Roll | Four diddles followed by an accented note. | ||
11. | Ten Stroke Roll | Four diddles followed by two accented notes. | ||
12. | Eleven Stroke Roll | Five diddles followed by an accented note. | ||
13. | Thirteen Stroke Roll | Six diddles followed by an accented note. | ||
14. | Fifteen Stroke Roll | Seven diddles followed by an accented note. | ||
15. | Seventeen Stroke Roll | Eight diddles followed by an accented note. |
No. | Name | Notation | Example | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
16. | Single Paradiddle |
Play media
|
Two alternating notes followed by a diddle. | |
17. | Double Paradiddle | Four alternating notes followed by a diddle. | ||
18. | Triple Paradiddle | Six alternating notes followed by a diddle. | ||
19. | Paradiddle-Diddle | Two alternating taps followed by two alternating diddles. |
No. | Name | Notation | Example | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
20. | Flam | Two taps (a grace note followed by a full volume tap) played very close together in order to sound like one slightly longer note. In the Hudson Music DVD "Great Hands For a Lifetime", drummer and educator Tommy Igoe describes flams as "the easiest rudiment to play wrong" and goes on to say "...think of the syllable 'lam'. It's one syllable. 'Flam' is still only one syllable, but it's slightly longer." This is a good way for a beginner to conceptualize a "correct" flam. | ||
21. | Flam Accent | Alternating groups of three notes of the form [Flam – tap – tap]. | ||
22. | Flam Tap | Alternating diddles with flams on the first note of each diddle. | ||
23. | Flamacue | A group of four notes and an ending downbeat, where the first note and the down beat are flammed, and the second note is accented. | ||
24. | Flam Paradiddle | A paradiddle with a flam on the first note.[5] Also known as a flamadiddle. | ||
25. | Single Flammed Mill | An inverted paradiddle (RRLR, LLRL) with a flam on the first note of each diddle. | ||
26. | Flam Paradiddle-diddle | Alternating paradiddle-diddles with flams on the first note of each. | ||
27. | Pataflafla |
Play media
|
A four-note pattern with flams on the first and last notes.[5] | |
28. | Swiss Army Triplet | A right hand flam followed by a right tap and a left tap, or (using a left hand lead) a left hand flam followed by a left tap and a right tap.[5][7] It is often used in the place of a flam accent, since repeated flam accents will have three taps on the same hand in a row, where repeated Swiss army triplets only involve two taps on the same hand. | ||
29. | Inverted Flam Tap | Alternating diddles (offset by one sixteenth note) with a flam on the second note of each diddle. Also known as a tap flam. | ||
30. | Flam Drag |
Play media
|
Alternating groups of three notes of the form [flam – drag – tap]. |
No. | Name | Notation | Description |
---|---|---|---|
31. | Drag (Half Drag or Ruff) | Two diddled grace notes before a tap, which is usually accented. | |
32. | Single Drag Tap (Single Drag) | A single drag tap is two alternating notes where the first note has drag grace notes and the second is accented. | |
33. | Double Drag Tap (Double Drag) | A double drag tap is a single drag tap with another grace note drag before it. | |
34. | Lesson 25 (Two and Three) | A lesson 25 is three alternating notes where the first note has drag grace notes and the third is accented. | |
35. | Single Dragadiddle | A single dragadiddle is a paradiddle where the first note is a drag. | |
36. | Drag Paradiddle No. 1 | The first drag paradiddle is an accented note followed by a paradiddle with drag grace notes on the first note. | |
37. | Drag Paradiddle No. 2 | The second drag paradiddle is two accented notes followed by a paradiddle, with drag grace notes on the second accented note and the first note of the paradiddle. | |
38. | Single Ratamacue | A single ratamacue consists of four notes where the first note has drag grace notes and the fourth is accented.[5] | |
39. | Double Ratamacue | A double ratamacue consists of a single ratamacue with a drag before it. | |
40. | Triple Ratamacue | A triple ratamacue consists of a single ratamacue with two drags before it. |
More recently, the Percussive Arts Society added 14 more rudiments to extend the list to the current 40 International Drum Rudiments. Note that the ordering was completely changed during this last re-organization, so these numbers won't match those above.

Over the years, many other rudimental patterns have been informally identified and given creative names, although most of these are based upon the original 40. They are commonly known as "hybrid rudiments" or "hybrids," and are especially common in drumlines and drum corps. A few notable examples are the Herta which is a drag played with alternating sticking (famous examples include the chorus fills by Dave Grohl in "No One Knows" by Queens Of The Stone Age, or the intro by Carter Beauford in "Drive In Drive Out" by The Dave Matthews Band), the Cheese, a diddle with a grace note, and the Eggbeater, a five-tuplet with the sticking "rrrll"; indeed, these hybrids have themselves given way to more innovative and arguably more difficult hybrids, "Cheese Invert" (an inverted flam tap with cheeses instead of flams) and the "Diddle-Egg-Five" (a paradiddle-diddle followed by an Eggbeater and two diddles, one on each hand). Hybrid rudiments are becoming increasingly important to a marching percussionist's rudimental vocabulary. Due to the differences in naming and origins of these numerous hybrid rudiments, a growing list of the most common can be found at the Hybrid Rudiment Library.[8] Also one of the largest lists online can be found at http://www.ninjadrummist.com/drum-rudiments/hybrid-rudiments
A snare/cowbell paradiddle is featured on Skid Row's song "Monkey Business" (at the 2:55 mark). Aerosmith's "Walk this Way" features ride cymbal bell fills that are reminiscent of paradiddles. Buddy Holly's hit "Peggy sue" features paradiddles all the way through. The dance in "Gangnam Style" is a paradiddle. The song "Vasoline" performed by drummer Eric Kretz of Stone Temple Pilots is another example of a song's drum groove that is strongly based from a single paradiddle. Paradiddles can and are often utilized in drum fills just as with drum grooves. An example of this can be found in Dire Strait's song "Sultans of Swing", around the three quarter mark of the song's completion. Pop singer Meghan Trainor makes reference to different rudiments in the lyrics to her song "Bang Dem Sticks" such as paradiddles, triplets and double strokes.
