Standard trick nailing a rudiment of drumming (10)
I believe the answer is:
paradiddle
'rudiment of drumming' is the definition.
'paradiddle' can be an answer for 'drumming' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'rudiment of' bit.
'standard trick nailing a' is the wordplay.
'standard' becomes 'par' (standard of play in golf).
'trick' becomes 'diddle' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'nailing' indicates putting letters inside.
'par'+'diddle'='pardiddle'
'pardiddle' placed around 'a' is 'PARADIDDLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paradiddle that I've seen before include "Sound of drums" , "Basic drumming sequence - dip a ladder (anag)" .)
