Drum set rudiments are a series of sticking patterns that build control on the drum set and help fine-tune your technique. They can also be used creatively in fills and grooves, and help make us a musical drummer.

In this video, Simon takes you through the single stroke, including tips on practicing, developing technique, working with a metronome, and some realistic goals and expectations.
