Rudiments, as everyone probably knows, are the fundementals of drumming. Every drummer should be able to learn and memorize all of the 40 standard rudiments picked by the Percussive Arts Society which can be see here: http://www.vmea.org/stef/forms/rudiments.pdf. However in addition to these 40 there are also many hybrid rudiments. They are really just variations of the original 40 and a few of them can be seen  here: http://www.gmajna.net/svojat/strudel/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/128hybridrudimentbook.pdf. These are all very helpful rudiments that should also be added to your daily practice routine. I like to add a few of these to my practice everyday all with the 40 rudiments, and it really helps. Hope this was helpful.
