Your favorite books for general improvement

[Bugzbunny]

My first thread here -- so hey!

Just as the title says, what are your favorite books that helped in all aspects of your drumming?

Im asking because I'm planning to buy a book or two to help improve my drumming, I've been playing for
4 or 5 years now, so I'm no beginner, but Im looking for books to help me in all aspects of my playing. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Stick control - by George Lawrence Stone
Syncopation- by Ted Reed
Groove Essentials - by Tommy Igoe
Great Hands for a Lifetime - by Tommy Igoe


All of these have served me well - and will keep you busy for the next 10 years or so.:)

And Chapin's Advanced techniques for the modern drummer as applied to jazz and bebop

[SOTRdrummer]

Stick control - by George Lawrence Stone
Syncopation- by Ted Reed

My addition is Ultimate Realistic Rock - By Carmine Appice

These three books have had the greatest effect on me. They Will last me for years of lessons.

These are the two I've been using for the past 8 months or so and really like both. There is a ton of potential practice material in both.
