This 37.5 minute workout features the single stroke roll and variations of the single paradiddle, plus the usual interpolation exercises, single hand rolls and something called “Jim’s Rudiment” which my drumming cousin Jim posted online ages ago. You can see it on the blog page: https://leicesterdrumschool.co.uk/25-...

This time, I’ve made sure Part 3 has lots of rudiments I can play fairly quickly to emphasis the ‘high intensity’ element of the workout. My aim is to go out in a blaze of glory (which just also happens to be puddle of sweat).
