THE HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF RUDIMENTAL ORUMMERS* In 1933, during the American Legion National Convention at Chicago, a group of drummers from all parts of the country had occasion to meet and discuss present and past methods of drumming and drum instruction. This group consisted of some of the most active and prominent rudimental drummers of the day. Thirteen of the twenty-six rudiments were selected by this group and termed the “thirteen essential rudiments of drumming” that all drummers should know. It was decided to adopt the ‘Thirteen Essential Rudiments" as a test for membership in the “Thirteen Club,” or- ganized for the promotion of rudimental drumming, This club idea met with such favorable response that it was decided to adopt the name of National Association of Rudimental Drummers and to further encourage the study of the rudiments of drumming by having members contribute @ solo to be published in book form, to contain 150 solo beats by the members. The response from the members was ex cellent, (The contributing members are listed on page 64) All rudimental drummers, as well as those interested in taking up the rudiments, should hhave this book as reference. Teachers and students will find it very helpful in playing new beats and in the study of compositions. *This is an excerpt from a letter written by the late William F. Ludwig, Sr., former sec: retary of N.A.R.D., which eventually disbanded.
