George Lawrence Stone 's Stick Control for the Snare Drummer
George Lawrence Stone's "Stick Control" isn't just any drumming book; it's the original classic often hailed as the holy grail of drumming. In 1993, Modern Drummer magazine crowned it as the number one in its list of the 25 Greatest Drum Books of all time.
In the words of the author, it's the ultimate guide to enhancing your 'control, speed, flexibility, touch, rhythm, lightness, delicacy, power, endurance, preciseness of execution, and muscular coordination.' But that's not all—Stone pays extra attention to strengthening that weaker hand of yours.
This essential tome for drummers of all stripes boasts hundreds of rhythms that span from the fundamental to the advanced level. It takes you on a rhythmic journey through various categories, including single-beat combinations, triplets, short roll combos, flam beats, flam triplets, dotted notes, and short roll progressions. So, whether you're a budding drummer or a seasoned pro, this book is your ticket to rhythmic mastery.
