Anika Nilles and her older cousin Claus Hessler get together to study the Pataflafla rudiment from The Rudimental Codex. It's fascinating to see a drummer of such a high-calibre as Anika, in a way, take on the role of a student with her former teacher Claus and watch how a pro learns.

This is quite a unique insight into seeing how the greatest drummers are still constant learners, how they approach the learning process and also how they learn from each other.

Who knew we've been saying the American 'Pataflafla' incorrectly all this time?!

For those of you who don’t know, The Rudimental Codex is a collection of patterns with their roots in European rudimental drumming traditions in France, Switzerland and Germany - you won’t find these patterns in the list of the 40 PAS rudiments!

This course is for those of you who want to honour the tradition and dive deep into the world of rudimental drumming from two of the best.

The course is now LIVE on Drumtrainer Online and we are running a special membership that will only cost you €5 per month for access to the whole of of our online school, where you can study with Anika, Claus, Nate Smith, Larnell Lewis, Adam Deitch, JR Robinson, Thomas Lang, Jost Nickel and so many more of the best drummers around.
