Výskyt rudimentů a rudimentální hry na malém bubnu je stále aktuální a permanentně se vyvíjející, etablují se nové rudimenty a tak jako i rudimentální bicí nástroje, tak i hraní samotné se spolu s dobou neustále vyvíjí. V roce 2015 jsem absolvoval sezónu s orchestrem zaměřeným na rudimentální hraní Madison Scouts, USA, a tudíž bych nyní rád zužitkoval získané informace a zkušenosti v mé bakalářské práci. Úvod Téma Rudimentální hraní na malý buben a jeho použití v sólové a ansámblové literatuře současnosti bylo zvoleno autorem práce, který se s tímto druhem bubnování seznámil po zahájení studia na konzervatoři Jána Levoslava Bellu v Banské Bystrici pod pedagogickým vedením Mgr.art. et Mgr. Petra Solárika. Bakalářská písemná práce seznamuje s poznatky o vývoji rudimentálního bubnování, s historií a etablováním rudimentální hry od počátku až po současnost a s praktickým využitím rudimentů v novodobých bubenických ansámblech. Práce čtenáře obeznámí taktéž s informacemi o soudobých rudimentálních interpretech a s jejich metodikou

  • 40 Drum Rudiments with Video Examples
    Drum rudiment 1 Drum rudiment In percussion music, a rudiment is one of the basic patterns used in rudimental drumming. These patterns of drum strokes can be combined in many ways to create music. History The origin of snare rudiments can be traced back to Swiss mercenaries armed with long polearms. The use of pikes in close formation required a great deal of coordination. The sound of the tabor was used to set the tempo and communicate commands with distinct drumming patterns. These drumming patterns became the basis of the snare drum rudiments. The first written rudiment goes back to the year 1612 in Basel, Switzerland.[1] The cradle of rudimental drumming is said to be France, where professional drummers became part of the King's honour guard in the 17th and 18th centuries. The craft was perfected during the reign of Napoleon I. Le Rigodon is one of the cornerstones of modern rudimental drumming.[1] There have been many attempts to formalize a standard list of snare drum rudiments. The National Association of Rudimental Drummers, an organization established to promote rudimental drumming, put forward a list of 13 essential rudiments, and later a second set of 13 to form the original 26. The Percussive Arts Society reorganized the first 26 and added another 14 to form the current 40 International Drum Rudiments. Currently, the International Association of Traditional Drummers is working to once again promote the original 26 rudiments. Today there are four main Rudimental Drumming cultures: Swiss Basler Trommeln, Scottish Pipe Drumming, American Ancient Drumming, and American Modern Drumming.
