Applying Rudiments to the Kit

When you apply rudiments to the drum kit you will find that things that sound difficult suddenly become much easier. Just in the same way that if a piano student leaned the C major scale he or she would then be able to read and play much more easily anything built around that scale, since the scale is etched into the students mind and muscle memory. 

Here is how you might apply a paradiddle to the drum kit.

**  (Lowest note=Floor tom, Middle note=Snare drum, Highest note=High tom.)
