George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control is the original classic, often called the bible of drumming. In 1993, Modern Drummer magazine named it one of 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.

(Book). By following the series of progressive exercises laid out here, drummers who already possess a substantial level of solo skills but who want to add a greater degree of rhythmic and visual interest to their solo work will better understand the technique, and develop a good measure of facility on their own.

Developed to increase the speed and ease of getting around the drumset using rudiments as the foundation. The cross sticking and drum-to-drum patterns used in this book will increase the student's coordination skills, familiarity of the drumset, and soloing vocabulary. An exceptional way to incorporate rudiments into the drumset performer's practice routine.

Patterns is one of the most comprehensive drum methods available. Covering a wide range of materials, the books can be used in any order, or in any combination with one another. They are a must for developing the kinds of skills necessary for drumset performance. In Sticking Patterns, Gary's unique approach to the use of stickings on the set is explored. Completely different from the rudiments, Gary's system is designed specifically for drumset performance, both for creating time feels as well as for filling and soloing. Also included are sections on accented single stokes, as well as the use of double strokes on the set.

The purpose of this book is to take rhythmic figures, originally learned on the snare drum, and apply them to the drumset. In doing this, the student is introduced to several cross sticking and drum-to-drum patterns using eighth, triplet and sixteenth notes. This approach to the drumset is an excellent way to develop the coordination and speed of getting around the drums with ease, while also helping with soloing.
