Stick Control

[bonhamdrummer123]

I was wondering if anyone knew some good books that focus on stick control, especially with the weaker hand.

You answered your own question. The book is called Stick Control. There are many ways to use the book to help with hand balance. See threads on the forum about this book. My right hand is my weak hand. I practice playing on a soft surface. I try to match the speed of my hands with little rebound.

I highly recommend Stick Technique by Jim McCarthy.

I would start with the classics such as Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone and Master Studies Book One by Joe Morello. Here are some links.

lmao sorry, I forgot people would think that. No, I'm pretty sure he's Australian, and my username, SabeTudo, is Portuguese. I doubt an Australian would know that. But I'm not sayin' it couldn't happen.

No, I'm just a 16 year old who was more than happy with a really good drum product. Don't got a job or drivers license or nothin'. haha

Would you feel any better if I also recommended Jared Falk's Rock Drumming System to you? Because that's like the best drumming product on the market today. I bought that too and it was awesome! It helped me get more comfortable with ride cymbal bell patterns, for example.

Or maybe Mike Michalkow's Drum Tuning System. Another product I absolutely loved. For the first time, my drums actually sound good together because of him, and they weren't even originally mine, so some of the resonance heads are all retarded and dented. I'd rather spend my money on all these products, which all happen to be from the Railroad Media website by the way, rather than buy new drum heads which would make playing the drums even more fun I bet!

I just looked up what "spam" even is in general and I still can't quite understand it. All I know is it has something to do with going on forums and posting replies that are more like advertisements..... lol wow that's exactly what I've been doing. hahaha my bad

If you want the best book to master the rudiments and to attain total technical virtuosity in less than a year, you should check out "Willieboy's Secrets to Drum Mastery". Has anybody else used this book? It's amazing. The author is a total guru. I think he's Australian.

Even this post of yours is an advertisement for internet sites. If you are not contributing to the forum and only posting the same sales pitches over and over, that's spam.
