The goal of The Core Rudiment System is not to replace traditional rudiment systems, but to offer an alternative way of approaching and developing rudiments. There are over 1,150 rudiment variations in The Core Rudiment System.

However, the goal is not to learn every pattern in the book. I haven’t even come close to mastering every pattern in this book and I never will. This system is intended to be a practice resource. I believe that it is better to learn ten ways to use one rudiment, then it is to learn one way to use ten rudiments. The reason this book has so many rudiments in it, is because I strongly believe in the importance of having many options to choose from. It makes exploring the instrument way more fun and leads to more unique vocabulary. So don’t worry about learning everything, just pick a few rudiments and start exploring:

    “Justin Scott (one of the greatest drummers that I know in this generation) has written a fantastic resource for drummers in any style and genre. Justin’s thoughtful, detailed, and accessible approach to the hybrid rudiment language is a must for any drummer looking to expand past the 40 standard rudiments. With almost 200 pages of material and over 4 hours of video, there is enough information and inspiration in ‘The Core Rudiment System’ for multiple lifetimes. Bravo Justin, on a fantastic release.”

The Core Rudiment System is a comprehensive and methodical look at his philosophy on how he developed his practice and conceptual philosophies. From simple ideas to abstract interpretations of those very same ideas, there is a lifetime of vocab discovery to be found in this book. Kudos to Justin on putting together this amazing resource and for sharing your wisdom with the rest of the

    “This is one of the best contemporary books I have seen for many years, well presented with so much thought gone into every rudiment, many accompanied with just over 4 hours of well recorded video performance accessed by QR codes stamped throughout the book. I would recommend this book to everyone.”
