Rudiments

Hybrid Rudiments are the result of combining two or more rudiments to create a new rudimental pattern, though
this is not always the case. For example, the Flam Paradiddle is technically a Hybrid Rudiment (even though it is
included in standardized lists such as the 40 PAS Rudiments etc) as it combines a Flam with a Paradiddle. They
are especially common in drumlines and drum corps. As there are an infinite number of ways to produce new
patterns and add variations to those patterns, there is no end to the number of possible hybrid combinations.

These are very advanced combinations so you will need to have a good understanding of technique and basic
rudiments first (see 40 PAS Rudiments) with lots of practice for best results. Also, rudiments often have strange
names but expect some very strange ones for Hybrid Rudiments! (Rudiments are usually named after their
sound.)

While many Drum Kit players recognize the importance of developing a good rudimental vocabulary, very few kit
drummers seem to be aware of the huge amount of Hybrid Rudiment possibilities. Snare drummers have been
developing rudimental patterns for hundreds of years and much of our musical vocabulary on the kit is
comprised of rudiments. I've always felt that it is a shame for kit drummers to be aware of only half of this
vocabulary. I know many drummers who have never heard of Hybrid Rudiments and I feel it's time we changed
that. Just think of the crazy beats and fills we could create with such complicated sticking patterns!
I hope this section will inspire other kit drummers to check out Hybrid Rudiments and develop their drumming
vocabulary further. It's time we took full advantage of the centuries of development snare drummers have given
to providing us with such a wealth of rudiments, patterns and techniques.

I have attempted to use the most common names for these hybrid combinations but there are many variations
on the names and playing styles for each hybrid.
