Welcome to Pipe Band Drumming
As pipe band drumming is a rudimental style of drumming, you will need to devote a large
portion of your practice time to perfecting and memorizing these rudiments. This book
contains the fundamental building blocks for all the advanced rudiments you are likely to
come across over the next few years.
Alex Duthart, arguably one of the greatest influences in the pipe band style of drumming
once said, “there are only two rudiments in drumming: the tap and a buzz”. As you move
through this book you will come to understand how true this statement is.
This book contains audio files. Click on the speaker next to the particular line of music to
hear how the passage is played correctly.
To enable you to get the best results from this book, you must listen carefully and practice
consistently. Do not be disappointed if you do not make as much progress as fellow
students/bandsmen. Remember, we all have different rates of progress. Continue to
practice correctly and you will achieve the required standard to perform in the band.
There are many wonderful resources available for the learner drummer today. Websites,
recordings and printed material can all be found with a quick search on the internet.
The most important thing to remember whilst learning the drums is to keep calm and
drum on!!

Holding the Sticks
There is no shortcut to becoming
competent in this field; Hard work
and lots of patience are required.
Diligent practice, coupled with a high
degree of concentration if you wish
your efforts to be rewarded.
The following instruction on holding your drum sticks will prove crucial to your success in
the field of pipe band drumming.

There is no shortcut to becoming competent in this field; Hard work and lots of patience
are required. Diligent practice, coupled with a high degree of concentration is required if
you wish your efforts to be rewarded.
Pipe band drumming notation has the notes written on a single line, the right hand playing the notes above the line and the left hand playing the notes below the line. This is
known as the Mono-linear System of drum score notation.

Holding the sticks
The accepted method of stick holding learnt by the majority of pipe band drummers is
displayed below. This grip is known as Traditional Grip.
Left Hand
Place the stick in the socket between the thumb and index
finger approximately one third of the distance from the butt
end of the stick. Rest the thumb on top of the stick
following the grain. Bring the first two fingers along side
the stick (lightly touching the stick). The stick will naturally
!
rest on the first joint of your finger.

Right Hand
The drum stick is held between the thumb and first joint of your index finger about one
third the distance from the butt end of the drum stick. There must be a gap between
the thumb and index finger to help avoid tension whilst playing and also to allow the
stick to pivot in a relaxed and controlled manner. As shown in the picture below, the
pointer and ring fingers curve naturally around the drum stick.
The stick should be an extension of your arm, therefore, it should create a straight
continuous line from your forearm through to the acorn end of the stick. This will help
maximize your strength and control when playing.
!
!
Playing Position
!
The picture on the left show the drum sticks in the
normal playing position at an angle of 90 degrees. The
centre of the sticks should be in line with the centre of
your body.

Introduction Rolls (Intro Rolls)
The performance should commence with two well sustained and well balanced two
three pace rolls.
For the snare drummer, it is important that the two rolls commence together and finish
with a terminating stroke clearly defining the start and finish of the rolls and leaving
no doubt in the pipers mind where they are required to “strike in their drones”, sound
the “intro E” and then commence the tune.
