Stick Control: For the Snare Drummer

This book suits any drummers to work on stick control.

One of the first books I started with 60-odd years ago (along with thousands of other drum students over the years). Very simple and concise, I found a myriad of different approaches to this book - not just developing stick control for the snare drum but eventually applying it to the entire drum kit. I still have my original copy, a bit dog-eared and taped up but still serviceable. This copy was sent to my aspiring drummer grandson to learn with and he's very enthusiastic about working with it. Cannot recommend this book highly enough - it's THE book for learning drums!

My daughter dose a page every night and she just started playing the drums Aug 1st

It's a little monotonous, but that's the point! Insert grin here. I think if you can "stick" to this book you will definitely improve your skills. I'm actually not a drummer, I play solo fingerstyle guitar. I was told that following this method would help me improve my overall feel for music and help me stay in tempo and in rhythm, regardless of what instrument I play. After a couple of months of trying this, I agree! Like I said earlier, it's a little monotonous and boring...but no pain no gain I guess.

Love the exercises, but as someone who uses just practice pads and basically is learning sticks as a supplement to add another dimension in my drum circle, need to have someone show me closed, short rolls, etc as I can't figure out a number of exercises and how they are played. However, what I have learned has given me some sound fundamentals, my hands getting faster as I couple this with some videos and other material. In essence get an instructor, and when up to speed, tackle this book and you will find it effective. Legendary writing in drumming as the preface and the quotes from many of one's idols indicates. Well its now 2 years later since I wrote my review, and am taking half hour lessons via Zoom with an instructor for the last 8 months or so with stick and pad. Would have studio space for a kit but the pandemic has zapped that for now. He has clarified much for me and my technique continues to improve. A reviewer didn't like that the book does not have accented exercises. For this my instructor has me working with the Ted Reed book one on Syncopation. There are wonderful accented exercises that can be quite challenging. Stick Control is still the core which should be in everyone's collection.

Great for building skills, but no accents. I think many of these excercises would be greatly improved by accenting some of the notes. I often accent the first beat of each measure, then next time the second, then third... I gave it 4 stars, it would have been 5 with accents.

Very good condition

I should have bought this years ago.

Um clássico, tem que ter

Super!
