We add new lessons and resources every week but it typically happens under the radar.
We're going to start letting you know when we add new material to the website and what that material is so that you can jump on it and achieve your rudimental drumming goals!
This week, we've added four great lessons that cover some excellent drumline exercises.
New Rudimental Lessons
The first lesson added this week was the 7/8 Paradiddle exercise. This rudimental exercise is an excellent exercise for developing your Single Paradiddles and Paradiddle Diddles. Not only that, but it also get's you experience playing in a 7/8 time signature and learning how to count groupings within a 7/8 time signature. This lesson is for all instruments and is a beginner difficulty level.
The second lesson we added this week was Gallop With Threes. Gallop with 3s utilizes the same format as the Gallop Double Stroke exercise, but replaces the double stroke with threes. This rudimental exercise is perfect for developing rhythmic integrity and flow within your 3s which will help you play other rudiments such as Flam Taps and Egg Beaters (both of which have a form of three in them). This lesson is for all instruments and is an intermediate difficulty level.
The third lesson added to the database this week was the Displaced Flam Five Grid. The Displaced Flam Five Grid essentially takes the Flam Five Grid and takes it to the next level by displacing the Flam Five rudiment by one triplet partial. If you've mastered the Flam Five Grid and want to take it to the next level, this lesson is definitely for you! It is for all instruments and an advanced difficulty level.
The fourth lesson we added this week was the Shopping Spree exercise. The Shopping Spree is an amazing exercise that helps you perfect your Flam Accent based rudiments including Flam Drags, Cheese, Flam Fives, Chut-a-chits, and more. This lesson is a free lesson as seen below. You can get free sheet music for this exercise by signing up as a free member here.
