DESCRIPTION:
Most great drummers know how important it is to learn your rudiments - but the problem is that a lot of the rudiments don't immediately apply to the drumset. Even though you MIGHT be able to figure out a way to make a Double Ratamacue sound interesting on a fill, the rudiments that WILL apply to EVERY groove and fill should be the first ones you tackle.

This pack includes 8 lessons which cover the 12 "essential-essential" rudiments necessary for playing the drumset: Single Stroke Rolls, Double Stroke Rolls, Multiple Bounce Rolls, 5 Stroke, 6 Stroke, 7 Stroke Rolls, Paradiddle, Paradiddle-diddle, Flams, Flam Tap, Drag and Lesson 25. In each one, Stanton demonstrates the fundamentals for learning the rudiment on a basic level, and then applies the rudiment in advanced drumset grooves and fills!
