I Don't Want To Preach, But I Really Think The Rudiments Are Very Important To Developing Your Drumming Skills. Many Of The Patterns I've Recorded Came From Things Like Paradiddles, Flam Paradiddles, Flam Triplets... They Might Be Boring To Sit Down And Practice, But Not When You Apply Them To The Drums.

As A Composer I Approached The Drums Differently Than A Non-composing Drummer. I Embraced Drum Machines.
