D. Mark Agostinelli is the man who defined the art of the modern rudiment. Writing the "Drum Rudiment Bible" he was able to create the first book in that incorporated all known hybrid rudiments in existence. Studying with such greats as the legendary Mike Sgroi, Mark learned incredible technique for both hands utilizing drum rudiments.
A rudiment is one of a set of basic patterns used in rudimental drumming. These patterns form the basic building blocks or "vocabulary" of drumming, and can be combined in a great variety of ways to create drumming music. Rudiments are used in the same fashion as piano scales. A Drummer should practice the rudiment once a day until mastered.
This is the largest collection of drum rudiments that has ever been compiled in one book. This book includes the original 26 NARD rudiments plus the PAS 14 rudiments and over 460 Hybrid Rudiments. This book will help you if you are a beginner or if you are an advanced player. A lot of the hybrid rudiments are interesting and fun to play!

D Mark Agostielli is an Amazing teacher he tough both me and my son how to play the drums in under a year. He tought my son how to read and now he got accepted into a great music school. I expect my son to become a famous drummer because of D Mark Agostinelli. Mark aslo teaches all styles which I think is great. There are no other teachers on Staten Island that can do as much as him. He might just be the best teacher in New York City.
