Rudimental Worksheet


It's essential you begin every practice session with the rudimental worksheet to develop control and core techniques. Whenever you hear a pro drummer do something 'special', it's more than likely a rudiment.

  • Your budget?

  • How much space do you have?

  • How much noise can, or can't, you make? 

  • Reputable brands?

  • Where to buy?

Drum Accessories

Help and advice on:

  • Books

  • Sticks

  • Pads

  • Mute pads (Be quiet!)

Struggling to find time to practice?

Getting yourself sat down to play is often the biggest challenge... Trust me, I know!

  1. Begin by making a small commitment: Start with three 20 minute practice sessions a week. Less is better than none.

  2. Once you get into a routine, it will become habit and you will likely playing for longer!

  3. Increase how many times a week you practice and how long for. This must be a manageable amount that you can sustain and enjoy.
