The Rudimental Ritual (120 bpm)

- Опубліковано 18 гру 2017
- A transcription of Alan Dawson’s famous Rudimental Ritual based on John Ramsay’s excellent book, The Drummer’s Complete Vocabulary (a.co/0iYDpxQ). This version has been modified to more closely match the audio tracks that are included on the CD that accompanies the book. The entire ritual is to be played over a bossa nova foot ostinato.
This is one of my all-time-favorite drum kit exercises, and it took me a long time to play it all the way through. I made these videos because the CD tracks are too fast, and it’s very difficult to flip through all 13 pages while practicing. Special thanks to my drum instructor, Jake Evans, for introducing me to The Rudimental Ritual and for checking my work.
The playlist includes seven tempos from 100 bpm to 220 bpm to make it easier to learn and practice the ritual. For reference, the “slow version” played by John Ramsay on the CD is around 160 bpm. The “fast version” played by Alan Dawson is around 220 bpm.
The transcription and video was made using Sibelius (www.sibelius.com) from Avid. The audio track was exported as MIDI from Sibelius and edited using Logic Pro X. The drum sounds are from Superior Drummer 3 (www.toontrack.com/product/sup...) by Toontrack and were selected because their crisp, fast attack makes it easier to hear the individual strokes. The final video was created with Adobe Premiere Pro.
Enjoy!
I love this . I will be listening to it daily to get it into my ear and internalize it . Thanks for posting .
Michael - I'm so appreciative that you've done this, at all these tempos. It's such a great resource, and has really enabled me to start coming up to speed on the rudimental ritual. Thanks very much!!
I'm glad that they're useful to you!
I really appreciate what you've done for us. Cheers, Osami
You're very welcome! Enjoy!
any one tried yet dancing to this naked on the balcony ?
Thank you so much for all these videos!! Extremely helpful
Thank you Micheal !!
Great music thanks
Thank you for this Michael.
I just started trying to do the ritual at the same tempo. I had a question for you. What did you do to try and memorize the ritual I’ve almost memorized the fist three pages from John Ramsey’s excellent book ( who is also an excellent teacher and player) and was wondering what you do to try and memorize the music. Thank you again.

Believe it or not, I didn't try to memorize the ritual. Since I have the video to guide me, I've become dependent on it. I often "just know" what is coming up, but I don't think I'd get far without the reference. I have a condition called "aphantasia," and I sometimes wonder if that's why I can't easily memorize music. One can never be sure.
