Rudiments don’t have to be boring. Easy Rudiments simplifies the 40 official patterns down to the 15 that actually show up in real drumming, so you can focus on what really matters.

With step-by-step breakdowns, musical examples, and practice tracks, this book bridges the gap between stick control and creativity. You’ll understand how to make rudiments sound musical, not mechanical.

Created by the Drumeo team, a group of passionate drummers and educators dedicated to helping you play with more confidence, creativity, and control.

The team designed Easy Rudiments to cut through the noise and make technique feel practical. Every concept is clear, useful, and designed to help you play better, faster, and smarter—whether you’re brand new to drumming or picking up the sticks again.

By the end of the book, you’ll:

• Know the 15 rudiments that matter most and when to use them
• Strengthen your speed, control, and coordination with focused exercises
• Apply rudiments directly to fills, grooves, and solos
• Build habits that make your practice time actually count
