Play the add-on game with rudiments as other drummers know what your talking about and just have to remember the order. That can be fun. An add-on game with licks is not to great because you have to remember all sorts of things.

You can do "pig" (or "idiot" or what ever you prefer to call it) Make up a x. 4 beats long phrase if you are 3 players (make sure the number of beats and the number of players are un-even). The phrase can for example contain different rudiments. The first player plays the first beats, number two plays beat two, number three play beat three, player one now plays beat four, player two plays beat one and on and on and on... The player who makes a mistake is given a letter. Continue until someone is marked "pig".

This will teach them to play together with a common pulse. And they get to play a lot of rudiments

Check out the Practice Forum and look for some chop builders, those could be easy to turn into a game. One I found is called the pyramid of pain, they do a check of 1 measure of sixteenth notes with alternating sticking. then they go into 1 measure of triplet roll. Then again with the check but then 2. So in essence, it goes like this:

Check
1 measure of triplet roll
Check
2 measures
Check
3 measures
Check
4 measures
Check
And so on...

This could easily become a good competition, especially if there are stakes, like losers have to do a number of pushups equal to the number of measures the winner went up to. Or the last one out buys sticks for 2 people in his section or something. It can be really fun. That's only one though, check out the practice forum.

Well, it's not a drumming game, but we have wrestling contests in the mud to keep the morale of the line up. We also have one cookout a year. Those things are so much fun--anyway--maybe you should just set up fun stuff to do unrelated to drumming so people get excited about being on the (insert your highschool/college(I hope its not a college) name here) drumline.

We have started having "diddle wars." It is a match between two people and the longer they can keep clean diddles with increasing speed going, they win. It is a great way to practice diddles and even more to practice keeping them clean.

We also play stretch. Its like Twister and Freeze Tag combined, oh yeah and throw in a set of drumsticks.

i havent tried this yet... heres an idea

the two best rudimentalists (i dont know if thats a word lol) are captains... and they pick teams (they have to be even or someone has to go twice so they even out)

everyone puts a dollar in the pot and you go from there (top 2 get 2/3 and 1/3 of pot)

this will happen each day at the end of percussion camp

there is going to be 12 people in battery... so if everyone is there this will be fine. there's a drum for every team and each person has to take the pair of sticks and play 2 bars of a certain rudiment. first you go 6 on 6... and the winning team goes 3 on 3... then all three go at once.
for each day of percussion camp there is a different rudiment

ill try this in our upcoming camp and see how it works out... but the money is a motivational tool to get better lol

When I went to ECU band day we played something and I guess you could call it a game. The line plays a simple sixtenth note pattern with accents you go for a while then the captain/instructor points to someone, they come out and play a lick while the rest of the line gets quieter. You do that until everyone goes. It helps the line play together, warms-up your hands, and it's cool to hear what people come up with.

We just play "Roll Till' You Die." Pretty self-explanatory.

I like the one off of Drumline, not to annoy by bringing up the movie for the 18,567,832,459th time, but the Eighth note thing they do is cool, 4 eight notes, then double bounce 4 8th notes. Keep getting faster,2 people play on one drum.

"Play Paradiddles as fast as you possibly can" is another good one.

you can play roll suicides. Itts kinda like the pyramid of pain but you do one count of 16th notes then a one count roll then two counts of 16th notes then a two count roll and so on. We usually go up to 10 then go back down. Its actuall more of a ladder than a pyramid but whatever.
