Di**le on 3 is just like Di**le on 1 (check out the previous Hybrid Rudiment we posted) but with the di**le (double stroke) on the third note of each triplet grouping. Compare the two rudiments. How does the placement of the di**le affect the nature of the sound?

Lesson 25 is called that because it’s the 25th lesson in Gardiner A. Strube’s Drum and Fife Instructor. This military rudiment book from 1869 contains 25 rudiments, tips on how to effectively play those rudiments, explanations of musical terms, as well as a whole trove of military drum signals. Though this book is quite old-fashioned, it is still worth checking out as a historical curiosity.

Compare this rudiment to the Cheese (see yesterday's reel). Do you see how they’re pretty much the same thing? Note how much of a difference a tiny change like a di**le on the first note can make. What do you feel changes about the character of the sound?
