Re: George Lawrence Stone - Stick Control
I agree.
There are definitely more productive things we could do with our drumming practice than Stick Control for hours (or years). Sometimes, I'm almost overwhelmed with all that I want to get...

Re: drum workouts....
Normal fitness/strength training should be more than enough to play drums.
Playing drums isn't really about muscle development. It it was, Mr. Olympia would be the WFD every year.

Re: Playing in church
Mine are usually provided by my church through CCLI.
However, here are a few of my resources since I like to write notes on my own chart before practice, if it's a new song.

Re: Jazz&Funk: Your Snare Pick
Ludwig Supraphonic. LM400
