Rudiments & Rolls for Better Hand Technique
Just what we need, another rudiments instruction book!
There is already a long, long list of great snare material out there for hand coordination, rudiments, rolls, solo vocabulary, etc... Here are a few classics that I highly recommend:
The All American Drummer: 150 Rudimental Solos - Charley Wilcoxon
Modern Rudimental Swing Solos - Charley Wilcoxon
14 Modern Contest Solos for Snare Drum - John S. Pratt
Stick Control for the Snare Drummer - George Lawrence Stone
Accents and Rebounds for the Snare Drummer - George Lawrence Stone
Modern Reading Text in 4/4 - Louie Bellson
Syncopation - Ted Reed
This eBook is essentially a deconstruction and analysis of the concepts and vocabulary presented in the above texts, with original material in a very similar style. So, although I’ll be presenting a good deal of original work here, this book is best used as a “companion” to those other texts.
I hope these pages will help you to better understand the hand & stick relationship, and will make your playing and motions smoother. You’ll get a bit of a reading workout as well, and hopefully you’ll be able to more clearly see and connect the written rhythms to the physical motions described in the texts.
