PAS International Drum Rudiments with 4 Limbs

Just completed!

virtuosoDrummer.com announces the addition of a set of documents detailing the execution of the Percussive Arts Society’s “Top 40” Drum Rudiments for full drumset played with all 4 limbs simultaneously. Consistent with our overall philosophy of muscle-memory coordination development, each rudiment is presented with full horizontal, vertical and cross-body implementation. Left hand/left foot and right hand/right foot leading is addressed as well, of course.

These exercises bring the traditional two handed approach into the reality of present four limb necessities and give promise to the future of expert drumming
