Most
drum
rudiments are made up of doubles and singles. Learn to
play these as cleanly, evenly, and correctly as possible.
Do the same with doubles. They make up all the rest! Practice
and master this on the drums and you'll find everything else
comes a lot easier.
-
Take
all 40 drum rudiments
and go through them leading with your weak hand. Write down
which ones you struggle with. The result will be your practicing
"prescription".
-
In
drumming,
the speed of your rudiments are only as fast as your left
hand (or right hand, if you're a lefty). Practice your weak
hand diligently. You'll then notice all the rudiments drum
rudiments becoming easier to play.
-
Consider
practicing rudiments in 15 or 20 minute increments. This will
allow you to concentrate on many areas at once (i.e.: 15 minutes
for the double stroke roll, 15 minutes for the paradiddle,
etc.)
-
The
buzz roll is also called the "multiple stroke" bounce
roll, the "press roll", and the "crush roll".
-
Practice
drum rudiments in front of the TV. Once you've practiced a
drum rudiment to a certain point where it simply involves
repetition to get it faster, you can certainly put them on
autopilot and practice them while watching your favorite show.
Just check your technique now and then to make sure your rudiments
are clean, precise and on track.
-
Practice
your double stroke roll inverted. (Ex: RLLR, RLLR, RLLR, RLLR).
And also as triplets (Ex. RLL, RRL, LRR, LLR). Experiment
with inverted variations of some of the other drum rudiments
as well.
-
Incorporate
drum rudiments into your drum fills. Also, take some of the
40 drum rudiments and divide up the sticking patterns around
the drums to make cool drumfills.
