This collection of exercises is based on two main ideas: that certain pairs of rudiments can be thought of as rhythmic corruptions of the same stroke combinations, and that rudiments should be rehearsed with different rhythmic speeds and interpretations in order to develop better control of the sticks and a stronger rudimental vocabulary. Rather than merely build chops, this packet should give the performer a greater command over the space between notes, ensuring confidence in rhythmic accuracy over a range of musical and rudimental contexts.
