5 Hybrid Rudiments That Every Drummer Should Know

Faster Hands & Feet (in 10 days)

These hybrid patterns may not be on the list of 40 standard rudiments, but you should still add them to your repertoire! Juan Carlito Mendoza shares his favorites:

Sheet Music:

1. Herta
The herta alternates RLR L RLR L and sounds best when you accent the standalone lefts.

2. Blushda
The blushda starts with a left handed flam, followed by two 16th notes on the right, and topped off with an accented left.

3. Choo Choo
When you get this one up to speed, it sounds like a train! All you have to do is play a paradiddle (RLRR) and put a flam on the third 16th note.

4. Flam Grandpa
Arguably one of the best-named rudiments of all time, this is a 5 note pattern (RLRRL) that starts with a flam.

5. The Stutter
It’s simple sticking, but sounds awesome when sped up. The pattern is RLR LRL with an accent on every left hand.

Thank you so much guys! Had a blast trying to narrow down 5 hybrids out of so many out there! Hope everyone is staying safe out there and washing their hands. Much love and respect guys! Keep drumming and getting better!
