Improve your technique by increasing your percussion
“vocabulary.”
通过增加你的打击乐“词汇量”来提高你的技巧。
Rudiments are the “vocabulary” of percussionists and
drummers. They teach stick control and help students
develop their technique across all of the percussion
instruments. In that sense, they are similar to scales on
a keyboard instrument.
Rudiments 是打击乐手和鼓手的“词汇”。教授学生控制鼓槌，并帮助他们学习涵
盖了所有打击乐器的技术。从这个意义上说，它们类似于键盘乐器的音阶。
It is generally assumed that by the time a percussionist
gets to college, they already know their rudiments.
Unfortunately, many students don’t know them as well
as they should. This is especially true if the student

starts on a mallet percussion instrument or comes to
percussion from another instrument.
一般认为，当一个打击乐手进入高级的学习阶段时，他已经具备了 rudiments 的知识。
不幸的是，许多学生其实并不了解他们。如果学生从键盘打击乐开始，或者从另一种乐器
转向学习打击乐，那就更为普遍。
A Brief History 简史
Over the years, percussionists have tried to come up
with a standardized list of rudiments. The original
rudiments were developed in Europe hundreds of years
ago and were introduced into the United States during
the American Revolution. In 1933, the National
Association of Rudimental Drummers (NARD) created
the “Thirteen Essential Rudiments” from the 26
Standard American Drum Rudiments.
多年来，打击乐手们一直在试图制定一份 rudiments 标准化的列表。最初的
rudiments 是几百年前在欧洲发展起来的，并在美国大革命期间被引入美国。1933
年，National Association of Rudimental Drummers (NARD)
从 26 Standard American Drum Rudiments 中创造了
“Thirteen Essential Rudiments”。

These thirteen rudiments were adopted and used as a
test for membership in the so-called “Thirteen Club.”
They included the long roll, the 5-stroke and 7-stroke
roll, the flam, the flam accent, the flam paradiddle, the
flamacue, the ruff, the single and double drag, the
double paradiddle, and the single and triple ratamacue.
In the early 1980s, the Percussive Arts Society added
fourteen rudiments, reordered them and published the
40 Standard American Drum Rudiments, broken down
into the following four categories:

Arts Society)增加了 14 条 rudiments，并重新整理，出版了 40
Standard American Drum Rudiments，分为以下四类:
1) Roll Rudiments
2) Diddle Rudiments

(combinations of two or more of the original 40
