The Single Ratamacue Drum Rudiment is not a standard drum rudiment. Being that it is not a NARD (National Association of Rudimental Drummers) drum rudiment or a PAS drum Rudiment (Percussive Arts Society); it is a hybrid drum rudiment, which is a rudiment that is not as common, yet extremely interesting to learn. It is a rudiment that many drummers want to learn how to play, and will dramatically improve a players performing skills, because it will help develop a drummers hands, by exercising muscles in the hands and wrists.
