The group formation of the Royal Marines was decisive for the structuring of the rudiments. We adopted this group formation 1:1.
As a service, SIRD offers an information platform for all drummers. It describes all known rudiments in their local characteristics. It is clear to all of us that this platform is constantly being expanded and can be brought up to date. Everyone is called upon to take an active part in this.
The initial effort was made between 2021 and 2022 by Albert Bachmann (CH), Jonas Ledermann (CH), Neil Lowe (UK/Royal Marines), Axel Chagnon (FR/Gendarmerie Mobile) and Jeremy Marks (USA/Old Guard). Markus Estermann (CH) coordinated the dates and made the platform available.
