tumigil ako sa pagtatambol noon dahil naisip ko "i will never be an excellent drummer if i don't practice my rudiments." sadly, i found them boring. PERO kung gusto mo maging super-drummer with special magical mystical powers, kailangan mo sila matutunan.
haven't checked gep's post yet (i promise to be good this time, aaralin ko na) but in addition to the paradiddle eto yung mga naaalala ko (salamat B. Go):
single strokes - LRLR, RLRL
double strokes - LLRR, RRLL
accented triplets -
LRL
RLR AND VICE VERSA
isa pang klase ng triplets na di ko alam ang official name - LL
R, RR
Lisa pang triplets - LL
L, RR
R useful yan sa samba
flam - L
R and viceversa the two notes are executed very close to eachother, halos magkadikit.
there are also several ways of executing these rudiments:
the throw pull technique and wrist action.
NEVER get addicted to the throw pull technique before developing your wrists. the throw pull technique is great for ghost notes on the snare (and hats) but won't get u very far with toms. kailangan sa toms mas malakas, use your wrists.
hope this helps.
