Additional Resources - Challenge Yourself!
40 Essential Rudiments - Rudiments are the fundamental building blocks battery percussionists combine to create music. And while practicing, remember what Scott Johnson says: "If we're not having fun, we're doing it wrong!" Find engaging ways to practice and learn your rudiments; use them to compose your own short licks and see how fast and cleanly you can play them!

Ninja Drummist Hybrids - 40 rudiments not enough? Learn some hybrids with this incredibly comprehensive collection at Ninja Drummist. You're sure to stay entertained with their countless daily and trending hybrid rudiments

Vic Licks - ...or Rudimental Rams is a collection of very accomplished players giving us some super tasty short licks. Don't worry if you're not able to play them at full speed; playing at a tempo you feel comfortable is sure to help you grow as a percussionist!

Lot Hype is a site that compiles various transcriptions of DCI and WGI show features, solos, and performances. This is a great place to see the building blocks in action!
