The Drum Rudiment Encyclopedia, Dictionary, Glossary and A to Z

This Drum Rudiment Encyclopedia contains over 500 Rudiments including Standard Rudiments, Hybrid Rudiments and Others.

It is a constant work in progress. I am gradually working through all the rudiments I know and hope this will eventually become a free online guide to every known rudimental pattern ever!

In order to help you in learning and perfecting these rudiments, I have included easy to read examples, performance tips, free PDF sheet music and video tutorials.
