Rudiment Creativity Vol. 1 is about achieving your maximum potential as a player and performer. As a teacher, performer and clinician, I have been asked by many drum set students, "Why is it important to learn rudiments?" "What's the point?" "How can we make music using rudiments?" Rudimental and orchestral snare drummers often ask me, "Now that I have learned these rudiments, HOW do I implement these rudiments on the drum set in a creative way?" Furthermore, most beginning drum students always ask, "Do I really have to learn these rudiments, and if so, why?" As these questions arose time after time, my thoughts turned towards finding a way to demystify and incorporate creative solutions to these questions. Through countless years of teaching, research and constant experimentation, I have found a variety of ways to implement rudiments on and around the drum set. The main goal of this book is to present various creative/practical applications of rudiments while spring-boarding the use of your OWN creativity.
