I don't know about a hardest rudiment, but I always find my self practicing simple double-strokes and flams the most. When I play an excersize alone, they sound fine. But playing with someone else, it sounds completely dirty because of what all these complex cheese-da-chuda-whatevah passages are based on - my foundation is weak. Learning any rudiment once I get my basics up to par will be an adventure.

Personally I think up tempo alternating flam flams are kind of difficult to make flow whlie making them controled and having a good sound.

Out of the Original 40, id have to say flam inverts. Its really hard to learn to play them the right way and teach urself to "pop" your wrists.

Chut-Cheese, Tagada, and Cheese Backflips. It's some of the few things that still hold me back.

Hold you back from what?

To me, the hardest rudiment is (I don't think) a registered, or whatever, rudiment. It's a herta with a flam on the end.

It goes rl r (l)R

It's hard to play fast and clean in a line.

RLR(r)L Is what i think you are talking about.

Just think of your right hand doing straight triplets. Then fill in the left.

a swiss kick is a swiss army but u accent the left hand tap at the end....l/R r L...there fun i like them a lot...we played them in our snare ram this year

to me the hardest rudiment is cheese inverts. can somebody tell me how I can play it good?
