These rudiments were recorded by Thomas Drachmann for Sick Drummer Magazine, according to the official PAS.org International Drum Rudiments, which can be downloaded here. As with all rudiments, practice them at a slow tempo and gradually increase your speed as they become second-nature. Compromising fluidity for speed is never a good idea, so if you want to also use a metronome, that’s a great idea. Additionally, practice these rudiments with your lead hand alternating between your left and right.
