Drumming terms
1. Rudiments
Rudiments are the different drum patterns that can be used as drills themselves, or turned into music when applied properly to the drum set or drum kit.
There are several different drum rudiments, however, 40 of them have made the cut as the most important and popular rudiments to learn and use.
Before we get started, note that the letters “R” and “L” tell you which drum or hand to play. R = right hand and L = left hand.
The Single Stroke Roll
This is the most basic of all the rudiments. This is what you would naturally play if you just picked up the sticks and started playing. The pattern is R, L, R, L.
Lead with your right hand when you play this stroke, and it turns into a roll as the tempo increases.
Once you’ve learned the single stroke roll, try to play the same pattern leading with your left hand: L, R, L, R.
Double Stroke Roll
Now we get into our double strokes. The right and left hand lead will apply here as well. This is where two strokes will be played on each hand R, R, L, L (right hand lead) or L, L, R, R (left hand lead).
Double stroke rolls are sometimes called “diddles.”
Paradiddle
The paradiddle is one of the most famous and important rudiments to master. It has several variations and can be applied in so many cool ways. The pattern is R, L, R, R, L, R, L, L. The pattern is all eighth notes.
Now that you have a basic overview of the essential rudiments, let’s take a look at some other common drum terms.
2. Drum Fill
A drum fill, also called a lick or a chop, is a phrase you play to fill in space between sections of a song, or to take you and the band to the next section like the verse, chorus, or bridge.
3. Drum Throne
The seat that the drummer sits on is often referred to as the throne. Yes, just like royalty, the drummer gets a special seat.
4. Traditional and Matched Grip
With a matched grip, hold both sticks like a wand with your palms facing down.
5. Groove or Beat
The drum groove or beat, is a rhythmic pattern you play to the music that keeps the time.
6. Tempo
Tempo refers to the time or speed. Sometimes drummers will use a click track or metronome to practice and work on improving their tempo. Some bands and drummers even play live shows with a click track.
The list of drum terms goes on and on, and you will discover a lot more as you continue your drum lessons. If you ever hear a new term that you don’t understand, don’t be afraid to ask someone what it means. You may feel silly at first, but it’s the best way to learn and increase your drum vocabulary.
I hope you enjoyed this and learned a few terms that you can use. Keep on shredding, that means playing drums like crazy!
