[quote=Ratamaswiss]Not to get off topic either, but I think since this place is also a place of learning and there is nothing more to say about the PDF I will explain 9's to you, they are the easier ones, I'll show you the 9:8 ones (9 sixteenth in 8 sixteenth place)(9 in 2 counts) because thats the one you will commonly see, and I'll so you with the easy sticking. You can alternate sticking once you learn the sound of them.

play this, Make sure you accent on every down beat (tap foot)


Now play 2 count triplets (quarter note triplets)Make sure the accent hits with the foot on 1 and 3


Ok now this make sure you are really on the beat with the 2 count triplet tap your foot


Now here act like the 2 count triplet accents were like the beats on the first image. Keep the accent constant but try to add the 2 extra notes to feel like triplets at a different tempo



Havn't you ever marked time while playing Cheezy Poofs? It's like playing triplets in in half time. Try marking time for that, and you'll get this down easily. It made it easier for me. A met, or marking time usually helps me play things that mess with the mind. My mind may not understand it at first, but once my feet are going, my hands can understand how things go.

By the way, that's a great list. I've only seen a few with so many hybrid rudiments. It's very helpful to not have to search for them.

This rudiment book was how i found this website lol.

I'm not sure if we just learned this two different ways but (47) egg beaters

The way I've always been taught them is more of fivelet feel so if you were to close your eyes it would sounds continuous but in this its written so that the 3 is slower than the diddle

Straight 5s are just referred to as beaters so you know the sticking is not straight.

That's a really good document. I've been looking for something like that for a long time. I know this is an old thread but thought I'd throw out the thanks.

very nice job and THANK YOU.. my guys are always saying "what about cheeses etc...." finally i can talk in their language

So, you were the one that made that book i downloaded a few months ago
