More about this title

Why we love this

This conductor score cuts through the noise by organizing the 26 rudiments into logical families rather than the standard numerical order. Having all rolls grouped together, single strokes and flams on another page, and ruffs on a third makes it far easier to teach systematically and to reference during rehearsal without flipping through the entire book.

What to expect

Clean, methodical, and focused. The logical grouping removes confusion and creates a sense of building mastery as students work through one rudiment family at a time. This is the textbook approach to rudiments, but one that actually helps drummers see the connections between similar stickings.

Who it's for

Percussion directors and snare drum instructors teaching fundamentals to beginning students and ensemble players who need a systematic, organized reference for the 26 Standard American Rudiments. This conductor score is equally useful for a director running a full percussion section and a private studio instructor building foundational technique.

How to get the most out of it

  • Use the online audio recordings by Frank Arsenault to hear authentic execution before students attempt each rudiment. Hearing the difference between notation and actual playing style (the core purpose of this edition) solidifies understanding immediately.
  • Isolate one rudiment family per rehearsal session. Dedicating focused time to rolls, then flams and singles, then ruffs allows students to master the technical distinctions within each group rather than jumping randomly across all 26.
  • Reference both the "way it is played" and "way it is generally notated" sections side by side. This dual presentation prevents students from assuming the printed page always matches what their hands should do.

How to use it

Start here in your first weeks of percussion instruction or ensemble rehearsal. Use it as a reference during warm-ups, cycling through one family each week. The conductor score format also works well posted during sectional rehearsals so drummers can see the full page while playing and receive real-time feedback on execution versus notation.

Skills your students will build

  • Recognizing the distinction between notated rudiments and how they sound when played correctly
  • Single and double stroke control
  • Roll technique and consistency
  • Flam and ruff execution with proper grace note timing
  • Reading rudiment notation across the full 26-rudiment vocabulary
  • Understanding rudiment families and their technical relationships
