Stick Control has been around since the 30s and has never gone out of style with drummers of all genres. It’s a very fundamental approach to sticking exercises, and even if you never get past page one there are so many ways to use the exercises in this book. I find the method of playing it as instructed to be incredibly meditative and endlessly useful for developing consistent strokes. Check out my Drumeo Stick Control Play-Along if you want help getting started and take it from there!

It’s the kind of book that will really refine your playing and get you thinking about efficiency of movement. A thorough study of Accents and Rebounds will have you playing more fluidly and with greatly increased clarity and precision.

It’s good for developing vocabulary in a rock setting or for practicing your reading skills. Not every beat in the book is a “winner” but working through all the possible combinations will allow you to place the kick and snare anywhere in the beat without throwing off your groove!

The exercise focuses on page 38 and has drummers split the rhythms between hands and feet while keeping steady swing time on the ride. It’s a great one to have on hand if reading and independence are areas you’re looking to improve. Buy Syncopation today https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d12adda7d4de37f6b5d32b/ebc1e005-a89f-4a55-aad6-f4198b96619f/Advanced+Technniques Blog - Best Books for Drummers - This book is great for developing snare and bass independence within a swing feel and covers both simple exercises and more melodic soloing concepts. It starts simple, (not that simple always means easy!) and gets very advanced, so it’s one of those books that can last you years and years as you progress. I find that it’s always valuable to keep returning to even the simplest exercises as I gain more control and sensitivity on the drums.

Not only is it full of actually hip beats, David Garibaldi also takes the time to address how to practice without sacrificing a steady sense of time. He also goes in-depth about the volume levels of the different parts of a funk beat. A lot of the grooves are based on inverted paradiddles so the book feels less like a basic rock approach and more like a linear rudimental method.

It begins with Alan Dawson’s “Rudimental Ritual” which is a great exercise for developing fluidity with rudiments in a musical setting, one that can stay with you your whole life if you take the time to really study it. He then goes on to show a number of different ways to utilize exercises from Syncopation for the Modern Drummer. It starts simple, playing page 38 on just the snare or bass while keeping time on the ride, and gets more and more interesting (short notes on the snare, long on the bass, etc) until eventually you’re filling in all the in-between triplets as ghost notes and burning up the page with what starts to really sound like some killer playing. It’s great for learning to “comp” in a jazz style and an all around great practice for independence.

I use it when I need to learn a specific kind of “world” groove or when I want to work on playing styles I’m comfortable with in new ways. It also has some great sections on playing in odd times and offers tons of variations for most every style. To whoever I let borrow this book: if you find it I want it back!

It is a compelling look at the way your body works in relation to drumming and has some absolutely mind-blowing information in it. For example, did you know your wrists don’t rotate? Like, not at all. What! Turns out that any rotation you make in your hands is actually coming from the two bones in your forearm crossing over one another. Trippy! But incredibly helpful, because once you understand alignment and what your bones, muscles, tendons, etc are actually doing, you can suddenly (or gradually) correct age-old issues and become much more efficient and relaxed in your playing. It can also significantly reduce the likelihood that you will injure yourself playing drums. I can’t recommend this book highly enough and I use information from this book in almost every drum lesson I’ve taught since reading it. There’s also one for guitar players too, so you can recommend that one to your guitar playing friends!

Much of the method involves playing a repeated pattern with three of your limbs while reading pages worth of rhythms with the fourth. It’s a bit of a brain game but will unlock new ways of using each voice on the drumset if you stick with it. This is another of those books that can last for years and years as there are almost infinite combinations to explore.

It’ll stretch your brain and have you playing way more interesting patterns if you’re ready for that kind of thing! The follow-up book Beyond Bop Drumming is great as well.

It’s got all the greatest drum breaks from all the best songs and it’s really fun to work out of. This is a book for anyone who is ready to play real-live beats from the music you actually listen to, and it also includes practical exercises to work up the fundamentals needed to play them. Buy The Breakbeat Bible today https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d12adda7d4de37f6b5d32b/459e5cf3-16dd-4fc0-9693-882664da886c/Mark+Guiliana Blog - Best Books for Drummers - This one is a bit advanced but if you’re looking to really expand your approach to drumming and you (like many of us) idolize Mark Guiliana you’ll want to snag this book. His methods are pretty unique and are very focused on generating your own rhythms in a solo or groove context. He works with a loop that goes from eighth notes to triplets to sixteenth notes back to triplets and gives you various prompts to flow in and out of those different subdivisions. It’s really cool but it might take some serious practice to get it down, so come to this one ready to work!

Roaming Heather Thomas got her start in the Seattle scene as the kind of drummer who can learn an entire set in one day, play the show like she’s been in the band for years, and sit in with the next band ripping a killer funk tune with pocket or tastefully giving a singer-songwriter a settled-in groove. After touring the country with two-time Grammy-nominated Mary Lambert (of Macklemore Same Love fame) opening for artists like Gavin DeGraw, Train, Pharrell, Ariana Grande and performing live on Good Morning America, LIVE with Kelly and Michael, and VH1 You Oughta Know, she took to songwriting with a passion and intensity that soon churned out heartfelt folk tunes and complex rock numbers with the ability to stick in your head for days. Heather has self-released an album and an EP and is currently working on her next full-length record. https://www.heatherthomasmusic.com/launch-team daily 0.75 2021-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d12adda7d4de37f6b5d32b/1624422954090-8QHV2Q35J0F3LP5P6VLQ/Chris-Daniels-heather-thomas-high-res-3.jpg Launch Team - To The Moon!
