Antonio Buonomo - Percussion and drums (trailer)

Rudiments is a study based upon the classics (outdated) that consists in repeating rhythmic models by heart over and over again, gradually gaining speed.
There is no rhythmic control of the execution of this kind of monotonous and repetitive practice because the drummer is playing by memory and practically by ear. There is no music being read and practice is aimed solely at one type of execution: "in rhythm", accentuating the downbeat (which is always the loudest) like when one begins speaking.
With new rudiments - developed as exercises to be read and practiced through constant and precise acceleration of movements (made possible by the change in figuration) - , drummers will study technique, reading and rhythm at the same time.
Sequences for drums and drum sets can be read or listened to in CD or practiced with the help of an animated video: a kind of Karaoke that allows drummers to check rhythm because the notes light up on the screen on the beat while playing.

I made some remarkable progress by applying the timpani technique on this DVD. I’d like to know why such an important technique is never discussed on other DVDs by more famous drummers.

E' una vera meraviglia ritmica che piace ai grandi ed e' di stimolo ai giovani amanti del ritmo artistico di qualita'. Bravissimo il grande M.Buonomo Antonio
