The Drum Parts You Didn’t Know Were Rudiments

You’ve heard these drum rudiments countless times—you just might not have realized it.

In this video, we break down 7 essential drum rudiments and show you exactly where they appear in famous songs.

For each rudiment, we’ll show you what it is, how to play it, and how the pattern sounds when it’s used in real music, complete with notation so you can follow along.

We’ll break down:

Single Paradiddle — Dire Straits & RUSH
Single Stroke Four — blink-182 & Queens of the Stone Age
Flam — Guns N’ Roses, The Police, TOTO & Phil Collins
Five Stroke Roll — Nickelback & Paul Simon
Single Paradiddle-diddle — Yes & Sleep Token
Swiss Army Triplet — TOOL
Herta — Avenged Sevenfold & Van Halen

And we’ll look at even more examples from bands like Black Sabbath, The Beatles, Mötley Crüe, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Alice Cooper, Green Day, Motörhead, and more.

The cool part? You don’t need to be an advanced drummer to start using these. Once you understand the rudiment, you can start hearing it—and playing it—in music you already know.
