I kept seeing stuff about people's least favorite rudiment or hardest and i wanted to see whats every ones favorite rudiments are.

Mine is the grandma. I just love the way they sound and its with the 2 left accents.

i love any alternate way of playing sextuplets.
paradiddle-diddles, shirley murphy's, triple strokes, anything like that
especially when they pop up right in the middle of a song.

I love playing a ton of rudiments but i guess my favorite one would be cheese inverts but they're all fun, it's so hard to pick a single one out.

My favourite is the Paradiddle; one hand plays accent-tap with a doublebeat while the other plays a tap-accent, and then the hands switch. It's the best rudiment, since (depending on your philosophy) it covers all or almost all stroke types found in drumming, on both hands.

Well, I have a lot of favorites! Since i can't single one out, I guess I'll give my five most favorite.

No specific order...

1. Flam 5's
2. Book Report
3. Paradiddle-diddle
4. Grandma
5. Floppies (Just alternating flams)

Grandmas are just played with paradiddle sticking: rLrr L lRll R, etc.
Book reports are also paradiddle sticking, with an accented diddle, left tap, an unaccented right flam, and a right diddle, then repeat off the left. I'm all about the book reports.

I simply love any variation of the Swiss Army Triplet. No matter what you throw in there it just has such a cool feel to it.

Lately I've been enjoying what I call cheese-ruffs. It just a good old ruff with a flam on the diddle. Not too difficult, just remember to get the accent up higher than the flam. Fun to play.

Floppy flams (flam-flams) are really fun to play. Hertas are fun to split.
Of the standards, my favorite has to be paradiddles. It's a classic!
