They both are essentially the same. The only difference is in the number of rudras that are chanted. To chant the Rudra 11x is called a Laghu Rudra, or an Ekadasa Rudra. Taking this further, 11 Ekadasa Rudras constitute a Maharudra.

It is definitely not advisable to perform this at home. You need to perform it at a Lord Shiva temple.
