The rudiments featured in this lesson are:
The Inverted Paradiddle
The Six Stroke Roll
The Left Flam Triplet
The Paradiddle Diddle

As a newbie I start to notice all the really good drummers move efficiently in that no limb or stick moves any further or higher than it has to.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Indeed. Play smarter, not harder ;) It's all about preference. As long as you sound good and play in time, there's no "wrong way" of playing drums ^^

[@stixpooper3704]

Awesome and informative lesson as always. Like the way the non accented notes almost disappear which brings out the accented notes. Something I must practise more often.

This is the solo that blows my mind.. the best out of all I seen. Out of the Carson shows and yes the impossible drum solo.. was awesome also.

Excellent. Suggestion - could you demonstrate in your videos taking it around the kit as part of demonstrating at slower speeds?

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

I leave that up to the viewer :) I post the stickings and breakdowns, then it's up to the viewer to apply it to their own playing (like a challenge!)

Never heard the Blushda. But then again I was old schooled with the 26 rudiments. 40 is the added doubles to the singles in a lot of places. Nice little flavor i will add to my routine.

Isn't the "blushda" just a flam drag??

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

@@mikelbell5419 it’s played a bit more open to sound “sloppier/fatter” and utilizes accents on the last stroke. It’s what some people refer to as a hybrid rudiment

[@bobbyjones2112]

I used to love just practicing rudiments all the damn time! I’m lucky if I even practice anything lately! I’ve been so stressed out. I got this killer electronic four piece kit I built. It’s an acoustic electric like the Roland VAD series drums. I use a TD27 module with drum software, EZ drummer 3 and Steven Slate 5.5 Drums. I really need to start practicing a lot more. I’m so rusty right now and I’ve never been rusty my whole life, for the last couple years I just hasn’t been in the mood. Watching your lessons are very good though! People should definitely take your advice!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

I'm glad you enjoy my lessons! And remember, the inspiration have to come to you. You can't force yourself to practice, but indeed - you can take small steps back! :) Practicing the drums is supposed to be fun, not feel like a chore.

I’m about to be 50. Ages ago when I was in high school there was a dude named Jeff Russell, after school a few of us would hang out and watch this dude play drums. Idk how or where he learned the stuff he was playing, but it was advanced for sure. I think that’s where I first started to hear subdivisions and the possibilities that come with it. I thank Jeff Russell for inspiring me to play a drum kit. Hope he’s still out there somewhere

[@danblackford3389]

[@TheWorkingDrummer]

You are so right. It's good to know all 40. But what's more important is taking a simple rudiment like the paradiddle and go deep with just that one rudimenr. Different tempos. Around the kit. Maybe make the first stroke a 32nd double. Invert that bitch. Take it deep. A lot of musicians have a lot of surface knowledge but not a lot of deep wisdom.

[@copperwoof]

Nice job, CJ! Just started my Shell Pack Membership. One request: Please put a title heading on the .pdf so that it matches the video title. This will help me keep track of what notation goes with each video. Thank you!

[@anubisbeck8321]

AWEESOME!

[@justinl5416]

Loved this video! Thanks for posting. One small suggestion that I think would be a great addition would be when you go to show the sticking pattern played in a groove, say what tempo the groove is being played at. It sounds like the groove where you played the inverted paradiddle was at a tempo quite a bit faster than the last example you gave of it, but I think it would be nice to know what tempo the groove was being played at. Great videos though, keep it up! I always like seeing your content and sharing it with my daughter who also plays! Thanks again!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Great suggestion! I'll keep that in mind for future videos. I usually show several examples in my videos, for example of both 16th notes and 32nd notes :)

[@dnczardnczar]

Congrats on some very clean and sonically consistent rudimental chops. Have to say though that your notation accents don't match most of what you're playing but that doesn't at all take away from what you are playing. One example of what I'm getting at is your flams. Accented flams are sonically different than a flam. In your playing you are accenting both the grace and primary notes which sonically is at odds with the rest of your accent notation and the difference between the two is they sound completely different. Although I enjoy all the rudiments this is a a very informative video. Thank you.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Cheers! 🔥

Nice choices, but for your flam triplet, I prefer to use the swiss army triplet, it's essentially the same, but with an easier sticking imo. (LR R L LR R L or RL L R RL L R, with an upstroke on the second note to prepare for the next accent). Same for the last one :p

When you play them faster, do you muscle them out or let them bounce? I struggle with that. If you could give some insight, I’d appreciate it!

Never "muscle out" rudiments, or any type of drumming. If you hurt while playing, you need to stop and re-evaluate the playing. You should always be relaxed and let the stick do most of the work when playing faster :)

[@r.t.5997]

I am into learing the drums for 8 months now and made good progress and I am proud of what I reached so far…but every single time seeing someone playing those rudiments perfectly I am about to cry and feel like I will never be able to do this. I mean there are a lot of tutorials how to start and what is essential for learing it, like using the rebound combined with fingerstrokes and all that, but it does not work. I have the feeling the stick does not Hit the same spot on the pad and it whirls around to the side and sometimes I also let the stick Fall down and frustrating things like that. What in the world is the right approach to learn it step by step??? Including all these different parts? Holding the sticks, mastering the rebound, get the ghost notes right…any suggestions for videos that take care of all of that? Would be soo thankful

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Don’t let videos on social media discourage you. Let them inspire you instead. Every musician you watch and that you find interesting/professional has put years into their craft, so let it take time. It’s all about practicing slowly and gradually take it up a notch. It takes time to learn new things, and you gotta remember that Rome wasn’t built in one day. You can’t rush progress ✊🔥

[@r.t.5997]

@@ThatSwedishDrummer I‘ll try…thanks for your words :-) In the meantime I included daily 20 minutes as an approach to only concentrate on sticking patterns for single- and doublestrokes on a pad. Guess this should be the Right thing to start with before going to the classic Rudiments in a few weeks/months. I‘ll find out I guess when it‘s time to venture that

[@2thejoshua]

Huge question? What if you play by ear and are good at replication without proper teaching? I play beats like this live and I have no idea what I'm doing or what it's called. Great video and thank you for explanations

[@fj3571]

What even is the question? Just sounds like a statement to me.

[@2thejoshua]

@@fj3571 I genuinely didn't mean it like that. And just enrolled in lessons to understand in full spectrum

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

If you have an ear for replicating and playing it correctly, that's great! But you wanna know WHAT it is you're playing. For example, if you're playing with a group an the MD tells you to play a pattern in sextuplets, half time shuffle and then a 32nd note patter - you wanna know what to do.

[@robblevins]

I played like that for 20 years... you can get away with it a long time in bands, but someday you may want to hit another level. For everyone that level is different, but I found that reaching it required studying, practice, and outside intervention. In many cases I had to unlearn bad habits...Believe me man- if you have the means, definitely take the lessons and pick up some books- or just stay with CJ's YT lessons!

[@homiefromfl]

So much of what I see here I just "do" without thinking of them as rudiments. I've never studied drumming or been taught properly. I've only learned by ear. And I just "feel" my way around the kit. I don't think I'd be so into drums if I had to "think" of what I have to do (even if it then becomes muscle memory/second nature), instead of just having that feel intuitively.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

I totally get what you're saying, and if you feel no need of "knowing" what you're playing - then you're all good! However, personally, I enjoy knowing the actual vocabulary of drumming so I know what to play and when to play it. I don't want to be in a position where i.e a band-leader says "In this section of the song, play paradiddle diddle's as 32nd notes and then go to Swiss Army Triplets around the toms", and I don't know the vocabulary...

[@tinalandrey5104]

FLAM ACCENT TRIPLETS ALTERNATE THATS WHAT THE UPSTROKE IS FOR

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Yeah, but depending of course how you apply it to the kit - it might not be "suitable" for what you want to play.

[@jhenlim]

Early fam whats up!

[@jossgeneralgaming5504]

how do I make my left hand fast? 😅😢

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Focus on mainly the left hand for a while! Try practicing left hand lead when you play rudiments, for every stroke you play with your right hand - double it with your left hand etc.

[@bjorn_moren]

One practice routine that has worked well for me is to play a steady stream of 16th notes where each hand randomly plays either a single stroke or a double stroke. Here is how I practice it: Start with a steady beat of quarter notes on the bass drum and 16th note single strokes alternating between your hands. Then randomly do a double stroke, and now your hand order is reversed compared to the bass drum. Then randomly add more double strokes, and work your way to the point where you play a totally random sequence of single and double strokes. For example R1-L1-R2-L1-R2-L2-R2-L1-R2-L1-R1-L2-R2-L1, etc. The purpose of this exercise is to make your brain comfortable to switch between any combination of single or double strokes at any time. In essence you will eventually have played all the official rudiments, but not in a structured way, but instead in an improvised way. This skill is useful later when you for example play more complicated fills on the toms, because you can pick any single/double sticking combination you want, because they will all feel natural to you.

[@ChigoziriEvero-ny2xj]

How can I hold my stick to be fast enough

Really awesome video! But I think I’d change the title to something like: “my best rudiment fills as a professional drummer”. Because that title gives a good impression of what the video will be, and would also be catchy for drummers, well for me at least. I know how great your videos are, thats why I clicked on this one, but for unfamiliar people they might think that you’d be talking about the only “real rudiments” you need to learn are the single and double strokes and the paradiddle or something. I think this title doesn’t really showcase what this vnice video is about and might lead to some people, who would otherwise be interested, not clicking on the video.

Dude this is the worst advice you can give a new drummer. "Hey - here's all these things you can learn about your craft - make sure to ignore a bunch of them." Guitar Teacher: "Don't learn the entire fretboard." Racing Driver: "The brakes throttle and steering each have only two states or positions."

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

You’re taking this way out of context. If you strive for becoming a drum corps drummer or old school jazz drummer - absolutely, fine. Work on all rudiments. But you should also check out Dave Elitch’s post on IG about this very topic. Rudiments are all good and fun, but they’re not necessary in modern drumming. Just play the music. I certainly don’t “think in rudiments” when I play - and if I don’t benefit from playing triple ratamacue’s and pataflafla’s… why should I practice them?

[@cameronmcpherson6364]

@@ThatSwedishDrummer You play more rudiments than I think you realize when you're moving around the kit - and there are more rudiments than you think.
