Why practice rudiments?

Hi,
Practicing rudiments is the ideal way to strengthen your hand, arm muscles and to fine tune your nerve, muscle mind connection.  It was extremely tedious at first to practice rudiments and my students found it to be the case too.  But I turn this into one of those pursuits where we aim to achieve a little better with each practice, and to then update our practice regime.

The only reason why I still practice rudiments is that the results speak very loud and attest to the power one can gain from doing rudiments.  Start with a metronome at 60 beats per minute and run through single, double, paradiddle, and press down roll.  Do a left start and a right with a base on the first of every 8 beats.

Regards,
