The Rudimental Blueprint

The Rudimental Blueprint is a comprehensive guide to mastering the art of rudimental snare drumming. Co-written by professional drummer and educator Jeff Asselin and legendary percussion instructor Chuck Burrows, the book blends time-tested pedagogy with modern teaching methods. Featuring over 100 rudimental solos and duets, it offers drummers a clear, progressive path to developing technical control, musicality, and confidence on the instrument. Each piece is supported by more than 675 companion videos, accessible through QR codes, that demonstrate exercises at multiple tempos—beginning with slow, counted versions and gradually building to full performance speed. Edited by renowned percussionist Matt Savage, The Rudimental Blueprint is both a teaching tool and a performance resource. More than just a book, it is part of a living learning ecosystem supported by an online community where drummers can share progress, exchange feedback, and expand their understanding together.
