I never really learned rudiments (even though I should and it would benefit me in more ways than one.)
I learned The Four Basic Beats, and kept taking those beats another step further, by adding hi-hat fills, tom rolls and double bass.
If you learn rudiments you will be twice as able as I am, becuase you will be able to play the things that require them, whereas I can't.
In short: I never learned rudiments. But you should.
"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer."
