Rudiments are the building blocks of drumming. In this article we look at some legendary books that will help you to craft the rudiments into your own style and build your technique and control of the drum sticks. These books also contain a variety of exercises to help push your playing to new heights.

As drummers, we all know how important it is to build strength for consistent playing, control and speed. It’s not always practical to be playing at an actual kit - just think of the neighbours when your bashing out those rudiments at midnight! This is where practice pads come in. Whether you're just starting on your drumming journey or you're a seasoned player looking to refine your skills, a good practice pad is an essential purchase.
