    of each other, meaning it is not too hard to
    learn all 40 rudiments. For example, if you
    can play a flam stroke, and a paradiddle
    pattern, you should have no trouble playing
    the flam paradiddle

    Helpful Cues
    Limitation = Innovation
    Play fills only on snare
    Play fills on 2 sounds that dont match
