They do however form a great foundation and build coordination and help with creativity. Most rudiments do not translate to normal drum set very well so they typically become irrelevant in the mind of drumset players. Coming from a rudimental background, knowing rudiments has helped me on drumset, but to a point. playing rudiments are two totally different things. Just had to know if I'm the only one in here who "apparently plays them but don't know what they're called."Playing Drumset vs.

Maybe I've become a little too defensive about the whole thing. Just had to know if I'm the only one in here who "apparently plays them but doesn't know what they're called." I was told when I started drumming to play every style I came across because all styles offer something that you'll be able to use in another. In fact there's rarely been a full year when I haven't been in a good working group of some sort. I've played in rock, country, light jazz, lounge bands for decades now and I've recently joined a blues band. Recently, on another forum, someone asked if learning all the rudiments was required for playing good drums. I often wonder if I am the only drummer in here who feels this way.

But, when I get on here I sometimes feel like I have no knowledge of drumming at all. I've been a working drummer since the mid-60s and I've always been in bands.
