Synopsis

With over 850 rudimental patterns, Encyclopedia Rudimentia is the largest and most comprehensive resource on rudimental drumming ever compiled. There are hundreds more historical, international, and hybrid rudiments in this book than in any other percussive resource to date. Use the Encyclopedia to reference rudiments from all 4 of the world's leading rudimental cultures, Ancient Anglo-American Fife and Drum, Swiss Basler Trommeln, Scotch Pipe Band Drumming, and DCI Hybrid Drumming plus learn unique examples from the German, Dutch, and French military styles. Learn from the 19th century masters on both sides of the Atlantic, including Hazeltine, Ashworth, Potter, Hart, Strube, Bruce & Emmett, Sousa, and Rumrille & Holton. Then, see how interpretations changed in the 20th Century with master teachers like Wilcoxon and Moeller. Go further beyond the normal rudiments with nearly 550 DCI Hybrid Rudiments that stretch right into the 21st century. This is the largest single collection of Hybrids in print today. Finally, compare the Anglo-American experience with that of 5 other European countries with exotic rudiments rarely seen in the USA (and never all in one place). Inform your orchestral interpretations, enhance your chops, broaden your international and historical drumming context, and load up on new and exciting rhythms for fills, grooves, and solos on the drum set with a nearly endless supply of practice material. Encyclopedia Rudimentia will stay in your practice routine for years to come.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Encyclopedia Rudimentia goes far beyond the Standard 26 rudiments of the National Association of Rudimental Drummers (NARD) and the 40 International rudiments of the Percussive Arts Society (PAS). Included are rudiments drawn from:
Basler Trommeln; Scotch Pipe Drumming; the German, French, and Dutch Military Systems; the 20th century interpretations of Wilcoxon, Moeller, and others; 208 years of Ancient Anglo-American Fife and Drum history including Ashworth, Hart, Hazeltine, Strube, and more; plus 546 Hybrid rudiments from the Drum Corps International (DCI) vocabulary.
There has never been a more comprehensive list of historical, international, or hybrid rudiments available to expand your rudimental understanding, hone your chops, inspire your fills and solos, or pique your drumming curiosity.
