DOWNLOAD @ no charge “The Official 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments”
Here’s a free download of my “Official 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments”!
Please note, when learning and playing the 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments an underlying basic pulse is required and is written below each rudiment. This is vital because this is what makes the rudiments polyrhythmic. Utilizing a metronome or tapping your foot (i.e. playing the bass drum) is suggested or you may prefer doing both at the same time. Enjoy!

Recorded version:

Note: The recorded version of The 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments may be purchased and downloaded at CD baby for $5.00. First, all rudiments are played, as they are normally played, in their original form and then played as the Polyrhythm Rudiment. Why only practice rudiments in one dimension when you can practice them in two? It’s challenging but well worth it. (…for drummers who want to play everything they play even better )
