George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control is the original classic, often
called the bible of drumming. In 1993, Modern Drummer magazine named it
first in the top 25 drumming books of all-time. In the words of the
author, this 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 the development of the weak hand. This indispensable
book for drummers of all types includes hundreds of basic to advanced
rhythms and moves through categories of single-beat combinations,
triplets, short roll combinations, flam beats, flam triplets and dotted
notes, and short roll progressions.
"It truly is a timeless classic and an essential requirement for every
drummer's library."
