Scale/Rudiment Requirements

Note on Percussion Rudiments

High school drum and multiple percussion soloists (performers must provide a snare drum).

1. HS rudiments are to be performed from memory

2. Soloists will be asked 3 rudiments from the list for the class of solo being performed.

3. Open-Close-Open (OCO) or Slow-Fast-Slow performance is intended to demonstrate the student's control of each rudiment throughout a wide tempo range. A student should perform each rudiment in OCO style with significant tempo change and minimal dynamic variation. The rudiment should remain clear and accurate throughout, maintaining consistent note spacing and rhythm, as well as clarity of accents, grace notes, and double strokes. Performance length should fall between 15-30

seconds.
