Stick Control For the Snare Drummer

Often called the bible of drumming, George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control is the original classic. Modern Drummer magazine named the book one of the top 25 books of all-time in 1993. In the words of the author, it is the ideal book for improving "control, speed, flexibility, touch, rhythm, lightness, delicacy, power, endurance, preciseness of execution and muscular coordination," with extra attention given to developing the weak hand. This indispensable book is for drummers of all types, and includes hundreds of basic to advanced-level rhythms, moving through categories of single-beat combinations, triplets, short roll combinations, flam beats, flam triplets and dotted notes, and short roll progressions.
