Standard as published in Trainee Guide (Information Sheet 3-1-2)The rudiment and scale charts are used to chart progress and score practical factors in percussionauditions. The scores are given as pure (no deductions) if the scale or rudiment is played without flawsat the noted tempo.For rudiments, minor deductions will be made if there are noticeable flaws in the execution (i.e., flatflams, buzzed drags, uneven rolls, misplaced accents, etc.). The tempos marked are for either acomplete single execution (i.e., paradiddles or flam accents) or, in certain cases (i.e., flam taps), for acomplete hand-to-hand execution of the rudiment. Metered roll tempi are determined using sixteenthnotes for metering purposes, and the marked tempo is the quarter note.For rudiments, the student is given 2 chances to perform the rudiment. The rudiment will beperformed at the fastest tempo the student can perform cleanly. The audition board will note the tempoof the rudiment and any flaws heard.Tempos are used as thresholds for scoring. For example, if the student executes paradiddlescleanly at 189, a score of 3.1 is given. If the student executes the same rudiment at 195, a score of3.15 may be given, providing no other deductions are pending for that rudiment. To score a 3.2, thetempo must be that on the page.For scales, the student is given 2 chances to perform the scale without mistakes. The score of themistake-free scale tempo will be used. If after 2 chances, the student fails to perform the scaleproperly, no credit is given for that scale. If the student only performs a major scale correctly, themaximum score for scales is 2.3. If the major and natural minor scales are the only correct scales, themaximum score for scales is 2.5 (this also applies if three out of the four are played, with one zero – thisscore is usually higher than dividing the three scores by 4. If the averaged score is higher, the studentreceives the averaged score).The solo gradings are ceiling markings. They are sorted by type (rudimental or concert) and then bysource/title. If a student performs a solo rated at 2.8, the highest score given for that solo is 2.8 (ifplayed perfectly), and deductions are made for tempo, rhythm, dynamic, or articulation deviations. It isimperative that the student selects solos that best reflect the student’s ability and performance(preparation) potential.4
