In 2019, I released my landmark book Encyclopedia Rudimentia with Hudson Music, compiling over 850 drum rudiments for study. This book has been, so far, my best selling publication. Good as it is on its own, I have partnered with fellow drummer and app developer Scott Gardner to produce a Rudimentia app as an extension of the book that allows for guided practice through a customizable open-closed-open sequence.

Choose your own tempos and practice with notation, a metronome click, and play-along audio. You will not find another app like this. Its like having an expert drummer to play with at any time.

The initial release (April of 2024) features 60 rudiments including all 26 NARD rudiments, the further 14 rudiments that complete the PAS 40, and 20 hybrid rudiments to expand your skills past the basic level. Further rudiments will be added in the near future to keep the practicing fresh and highlight more content from the book.

The simple design allows for efficient practice and you can log sessions to keep track of which rudiments you have practiced and how each one is going. Great for students and teachers to keep track of rudiment practice time outside of lessons!

The Rudimentia app is perfect for users of the book who want a guided way to practice, drum kit players who want to increase their chops in a systematic way, students who are looking to practice at home and stop the backslide between each lesson, drum line members (or perspective members) hoping to build up the skills required for modern marching music, percussionists trying to stay on top of their game, teachers who want their students to truly understand and advance in rudimental drumming, or just anyone who loves playing percussion instruments.

Available for iOS devices such as iPhone and iPad through the app store.
