Click on the logo above to go to Vic Firth’s online “Rudiment Learning Sequence.”


The learning sequence organizes the 40 P.A.S. Rudiments into 4 learning quadrants. Students should begin with “Quadrant A” and then progress to the other quadrants. The online learning sequence has an online lesson for each rudiment that plays an audio file of each rudiment, gives popular applications for the rudiment and metronome midi files for keeping track of your progress. You can also download a PDF file of each of the four quadrants below.
