The Rudimental Ritual (100 bpm)

This is one of my all-time-favorite drum kit exercises, and it took me a long time to play it all the way through. I made these videos because the CD tracks are too fast, and it’s very difficult to flip through all 13 pages while practicing. Special thanks to my drum instructor, Jake Evans, for introducing me to The Rudimental Ritual and for checking my work. The playlist includes seven tempos from 100 bpm to 220 bpm to make it easier to learn and practice the ritual. For reference, the “slow version” played by John Ramsay on the CD is around 160 bpm. The “fast version” played by Alan Dawson is around 220 bpm. Enjoy!
