The 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments by PETER MAGADINI layout & music notation by SPIROS DAMIANOS *note: When learning & playing "The 26 Polyrhythm Rudiments" an underlying basic pulse is required and is written below each rudiment. This is vital because this is what makes the rudiments polyrhythmic. Utilizing a metronome or tapping your foot (i.e. playing the bass drum) is suggested or you may prefer doing both at the same time.
