Yes Mike, I had 5 years of drum lessons with so called teachers without the use of a metronome. All instruments should be learned with the use of a metronome. Because I was not taught with a metronome many years were wasted with bad timing. Now, thanks to SUB, I have become a timing nut! And rightly should be.

The number of rudiments back in the day, were 26. They are up to 40 rudiments, now.
