Modern Drummer Education Team Weighs In On: Favorite Drum Books
(Updated 12/10/15)
We asked the members of the MD Education Team to give us their five or so favori
te drum books. Here s what they said.

Alfred Drum Method 1


Alfred Drum Method 1 by Dave Black and Sandy Feldstein
Joe Bergamini
I use dozens of books in my teaching practice, and I have written and edited man
y books as well. Here are probably my favorite and most-used drum books:
1. Alfred Drum Method 1 by Dave Black and Sandy Feldstein: This snare drum metho
d still seems to me to be the most logical step-by-step approach to teach a new
drummer how to read music, play basic rhythms, and learn rudiments.
2. Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone: What can I say that hasn t been said be
fore? This is the Bible of developing good hands.
3. Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice. It really delivers what the title says. If
you can play everything in this book, you will be able to play most classic rock
songs, and that s what many of my students want to do! Keep in mind that you shou
ldn t just play through the book as written; you can and should vary the ride and
left-foot patterns as Carmine recommends.
4. Future Sounds by David Garibaldi. This is my favorite drum book. When practic
ed correctly, it simultaneously improves your time and groove, coordination, mus
icality (due to the two sound level concept ), creativity, and rhythmic vocabulary

(including some very cool odd phrases). To say nothing of the fact that everythi
ng between its covers is insanely funky.
5. The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley: The best all-around book in existence
to begin to understand and play jazz on drums.
6. Afro-Cuban Rhythms for Drumset by Frank Malabe and Bob Weiner: Any intermedia
te to advanced student I have ever taught is nodding their head right now. Even
if you don t think you ll ever play a Latin gig, you must go through this book if yo
u are a serious player.
7. Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer by Jim Chapin: This remains a benc
hmark for coordination and independence.
8. Groove Essentials 1.0 by Tommy Igoe: If you can nail every song in this book,
you can play a pro gig. Enough said.
9. Master Studies by Joe Morello: The pro drummer s handbook to developing and mai
ntaining facility and technique.
10. The Encyclopedia of Double Bass Drumming by Bobby Rondinelli and Michael Lau
ren: A very musical and effective intro to double bass, and packed with really f
un grooves and licks. I favor this book for double bass because you can actually
use the material on the right rock gigs.
There are many, many other books I use and love. Here are just a few that I use
all the time (including the level of player that I feel each book is aimed at):
It s Your Move by Dom Famularo
It s Your Move by Dom Famularo
It s Your Move by Dom Famularo with Joe Bergamini (intermediate to advanced)
The Commandments of R&B Drumming by Zoro (intermediate to advanced)
Beyond Bop Drumming by John Riley (advanced)
Baby Steps to Giant Steps by Jim Rupp and Peter Retzlaff (beginner to intermedia
te)
The New Method for Afro-Cuban Drumming by Jimmy Branly (advanced)
Portraits in Rhythm by Anthony J. Cirone (advanced)
Drumset 101 by Dave Black and Steve Houghton (beginner)
Rhythmic Illusions by Gavin Harrsion (advanced)
Advanced Funk Studies by Rick Latham (intermediate)
I d also like to mention a couple of my own books that my students really enjoy. I v
e written several books that study the greats, and they create a nice supplement
to the methods above. With Wizdom Media, my company with Dom Famularo, we ve also
released several titles that really fill in some holes in the available literat
ure.
Neil Peart: Taking Center Stage by Joe Bergamini
Drum Techniques of Led Zeppelin by Joe Bergamini
MD Classic Tracks by Joe Bergamini

Pedal Control by Dom Famularo and Joe Bergamini with Stephane Chamberland
Eighth Note Rock and Beyond by Glenn Ceglia
The Weaker Side by Dom Famularo and Stephane Chamberland
Arrival Drum Play-Along by Joe Bergamini with Dom Famularo
I hope you get a chance to check out some of the titles on my list. There are al
so many great DVDs to recommend. Maybe we can do a separate article about those!
Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone

Steve Fidyk
1. Stick Control

3. Master Studies
4. Rudimental Swing Solos
5. Portraits in Rhythm
6. Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer
7. The New Breed

Jeff Salem
1. Modern Reading Text by Louie Bellson

Messin Wid Da Bull by Jeff Salem
Messin Wid Da Bull by Jeff Salem
3. Groove Essentials by Tommy Igoe (book and DVD)
4. Messin Wid Da Bull by Jeff Salem
5. Future Sounds by David Garibaldi
6. Live BPM (beat detector app)
7. The Latin Rudiments by Chuck Silverman
8. It s Your Move by Dom Famularo
9. America s N.A.R.D. Drum Solos
10. Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer by Jojo Mayer

Mike Sorrentino

First and foremost, I suggest that every student put on music and play along for
hours. It amazes me that I actually have to tell them to do that nowadays! Then
, when it s time to geek out on practice material, here are my favorites.
1. Elementary Drum Method by Roy Burns
2. Syncopation by Ted Reed
3. Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone
The New Breed by Gary Chester
The New Breed by Gary Chester
4. Time Functioning Patterns by Gary Chaffee
5. America s N.A.R.D. Drum Solos
6. The New Breed by Gary Chester
7. Baby Steps to Giant Steps by Pete Retzlaff and Jim Rupp
8. Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer by Jim Chapin
9. Secret Weapons of the Modern Drummer by Jojo Mayer
10. Double Bass Drumming by Joe Franco or The Encyclopedia of Double Bass Drummi
ng by Bobby Rondinelli and Michael Lauren

Jason Gianni
1. Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer by Ted Reed
Simply referred to as Syncopation by the majority of drummers, this historic boo
k has been around for over half of a century and is perhaps the most utilized dr
umset exercise book in drumming pedagogy today. The book, for the most part, con
tains simple steps to building and understanding rhythmic reading, especially in
the first thirty-plus pages. However, the eight pages of forty-bar exercises of
mixed rhythms that have an unlimited amount of applications to the drumset are
the most popular. As with all these books, it s important to align yourself with a
good teacher to really show you how to use this book in a multitude of ways.
2. The New Breed by Gary Chester
Chester popularized the concept of using groove-oriented systems (or ostinatos)
with this book, and contemporary drummers have taken these ideas to extreme leve
ls.
3. Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone
Stone s book is the holy grail of hand development. As with the previous two, ther
e are many combinations and applications of the exercises that can be used to de
velop not only hand technique, but also foot chops, limb independence, and endur
ance. Again, a good teacher will open your mind to the endless possibilities con
tained throughout this book.
4. The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley
This is a must-have for drummers who want to have a strong background in jazz co
ncepts. The book contains everything from exercises for soloing and independence

to historic text mentioning the most influential jazz drummers. John Riley is o
ne of the most reputable educators, players, and historians in the world, and th
is book is a great summary of his wealth of knowledge.
For Drummers Only by Jim Chapin
For Drummers Only by Jim Chapin
5. For Drummers Only by Jim Chapin
This book was assembled in the late- 60s by Jim Chapin and is one of the most usab
le resources for big-band chart reading available. Unlike a lot of current playalong recordings that have the drums removed digitally, these recordings were ma
de in a live setting with a real big band with Chapin keeping time on the hi-hat
. The charts can be a little confusing at times, but the notes/figures themselve
s are accurate and are very helpful for drummers interested in working with a bi
g band.
6. A Funky Primer by Charles Dowd
This is one of the most usable books on standard rock patterns. The layout is ea
sy to follow, as you can compare the patterns above and below each other to see
the variations from groove to groove. There are an endless amount of application
s that can be used with these grooves (converting them to odd-time meters, addin
g polyrhythmic accents, adding more ostinatos, etc.). There are not necessarily
any groundbreaking theories here, but the book contains a great collection of us
able patterns in any rock or groove-related circumstance.
7. Future Sounds by David Garibaldi
When coupled with Garibaldi s compilation of classic Tower of Power drum transcrip
tions from his other book, The Funky Beat, you have perhaps the best assortment
of funk drumming education available. Future Sounds delves into Garibaldi s method
s of how he creates drum parts and offers endless possibilities for pattern deve
lopment.
8. The Drummer s Bible by Mick Berry and Jason Gianni
The Drummers Bible has been a labor of love for Mick and me. It s over 200 pages o
f every drum style we could think of for the current working drummer. It consist
s of primary patterns followed by a few practical variations. Part historic and
part instructional, there s a lot of information included, as well as two CDs with
demonstrations of nearly 200 grooves.

David Stanoch
As an educator and student myself, I m a fan of all resources available to inspire
, improve, and enjoy the journey, be it magazines, books, DVDs, the Internet, re
cordings, or performances. We are fortunate to live in an era where there is so
much information available to us.
I found it difficult to narrow down my essential resources to only five or ten c
hoices, so I m taking the liberty of listing ten categories of choices based on th
e subject matter they represent.

LET S ROCK!
Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice

Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice


Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice and Song Charting Made Easy by Jim Riley
Many of my students come to me with a background in rock drumming. I m still a fan
of Carmine s classic book because it s easy to digest and the exercises are legit f
or the genre. It helps smooth out rough edges the student might be experiencing
in executing a big beat.
Jim s book is much newer but essential because it gets the student recognizing the
bigger picture of basic chord structure, harmonic movement, and form in a userfriendly fashion via play-along tracks. It also teaches a practical method for p
roducing a shorthand chart.

BACK TO THE ROOTS


The Essence of Afro-Cuban Percussion and Drumset and The Essence of Brazilian Pe
rcussion and Drumset by Ed Uribe and African Rhythms and Independence for Drumse
t by Mokhtar Samba and Dan Thress
The Uribe books are like nothing I ve ever seen. There s history, rhythm section sco
res, hand percussion patterns, and plenty of drumset study, and both books have
CDs that are essential for absorbing the feel of the music. Samba and Thress book
/CD is a fabulous introduction to modern African drumming and culture.

BRING ON THE FUNK


The History of R&B/Funk Drumming by Yogi Horton and Commandments of R&B Drumming
by Zoro and Russ Miller
The video of Yogi is one of the first instructional tapes ever produced. It has
been out-of-print for years but is available online and is worth watching over a
nd over. Yogi s playing and insights were a tremendous gift that s thankfully preser
ved for all of us to enjoy.
There are a lot of great method books on funk drumming, notably those by David G
aribaldi and Jim Payne, but this book by Miller and Zoro lays out the history of
the genre with great detail.

SWING IS THE THING


Art Blakey
Art Blakey
Art Blakey

s Jazz Messages by John Ramsay


s Jazz Messages by John Ramsay
s Jazz Messages by John Ramsay and Brush Artistry by Philly Joe Jones (
demonstration by Mel Brown available online)

There are many terrific resources on jazz, but what I love about Ramsay s book is
how he captures the nuances of Blakey, who s a true pioneer on the instrument. Alt
hough long out-of-print, Philly Joe s method book on brushwork is a classic.

ONE STEP BEYOND


Life on Drums by Billy Martin and Allen Herman

Through engaging conversation and performances, Martin and Herman shed light on
how to develop a strong foundation as a drummer and how to think outside the box
as an accompanist and soloist.

THE SPACE BETWEEN BEATS


Time Awareness for All Musicians by Peter Erskine and Mastering the Tables of Ti
me by David Stanoch
Of all of the prolific contributions the great Peter Erskine has made, in my opi
nion, this is his masterpiece. It s a must-have for any serious player, but even i
f you re not serious read it anyway. You ll be glad you did.
Having been inspired by Tony Williams and Joe Morello to develop exercises based
on the table of time to improve my inner clock, imagination, phrasing, control,
and technique, I decided to write my own book. A solid groove, a good feel, and
steady time all begin with a strong sense of subdivision. The book works to cre
ate confidence in establishing that foundation.

GET ON THE GOOD FOOT


Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer, Part 2: A Guide to Foot Technique by Jojo
Mayer
While there have been some fine works on bass drum control in the past, there s no
precedent for the amount of content this DVD teaches us on the subject.

IT S GROOVE TIME!
The Groove is Here by
The Groove is Here by
The Groove is Here by
teve Gadd s Up Close,

Steve Jordan
Steve Jordan
Steve Jordan, Jeff Porcaro: Instructional DVD for Drums, S
and Billy Ward s Big Time

These four DVDs are priceless if you re looking for information and inspiration to
improve your groove. In Steve Jordan and Jeff Porcaro s works, you ll see focused a
pproaches on how to lay down a strong foundation. The playing in each DVD is abs
olutely stellar.
Gadd s DVD demonstrates how thoughtful and deep of an artist he truly is. His word
s contain endless pearls of wisdom, and you can tell from anything he plays, fro
m snare solos to forward-thinking beats, just how important every note is.
Billy Ward s DVD introduces us to his free-spirited character and creative approac
h. Billy has fresh, clear concepts and some off-the-wall ideas that help open th
e door to how to develop a very personal approach to the instrument.

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT


Drum Wisdom by Bob Moses and Pocket Change by Ndugu Chancler

Although these books contain musical examples, the gist of each shares a more ph
ilosophic approach to drumming. Ndugu s book takes you from the foundation to prof
essionalism. Invaluable insights abound in both books.

ANCIENT TO THE FUTURE


The Drummer s Complete Vocabulary as Taught by Alan Dawson by John Ramsay, Stick C
ontrol by George Lawrence Stone, Syncopation for the Modern Drummer by Ted Reed,
and 4-Way Coordination by Marvin Dahlgren and Elliot Fine)
Dawson, who helped found the drum department at Berklee College of Music in 1957
, emphasized total musicality as a drummer. Common texts he employed in his meth
odology include three of the most classic volumes of our instrument.
Stone s Stick Control is the most classic work of its kind. Dawson would interpret
the stickings from it in a variety of ways on drumset and would encourage stude
nts to sing melodies while the playing different combinations.
Reed s Syncopation is also the classic work of its kind, and Dawson would interpre
t the pages in a variety of ways to develop coordination.
Also a fan of 4-Way Coordination, Dawson used this book with his students to hel
p them begin to use the hi-hat foot as an independent voice.
Dawson s pedagogy has been wonderfully preserved for prosperity and clearly explai
ned in the book by John Ramsay, who was a student and friend of Alan s. The Comple
te Vocabulary also includes the famous rudimental ritual warm-up for drumset.

Jeremy Hummel
These are listed in no particular order:
Alfred Drum Method, Book 1 by Dave Black and Sandy Feldstein
Groove Essentials 1.0 by Tommy Igoe
Groove Essentials 2.0 by Tommy Igoe
Groove Essentials 2.0 by Tommy Igoe
Groove Essentials 2.0 by Tommy Igoe
Great Hands for a Lifetime by Tommy Igoe
Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice
Master Studies by Joe Morello
Beyond Bop Drumming by John Riley
The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley
The Language of Drumming by Benny Greb

I also use sections of the following:

Essential Drum Fills by Peter Erskine


It s Your Move by Dom Famularo
The Master Drummer by John Riley
Stick Technique by Bill Bachman

Marko Djordjevic
There are many books containing useful information that pertains to the art of d
rumming. Out of the books I know about, the following stand out:
Gary Chaffee s Patterns
Gary Chaffee s Patterns
Gary Chaffee s Patterns series
Gary Chester s New Breed
Marvin Dahlgren and Elliot Fine s 4-Way Coordination
Jim Chapin s Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer
George Lawrence Stone s Stick Control (especially the beginning pages)
All of the above require some musical guidance, as it may be easy to get hung up
on playing the right notes without realizing that drumming is made up of a lot
more than just playing what s on the page. Feel, dynamics (both internal and gener
al), flow, touch, sound, and so on, have to be considered in order to say that y
ou re playing the written material in a musical and relevant manner. The idea is t
hat anything you play, from the simplest beat to the most difficult exercise, ul
timately has to sound like music. Miss that, and you might be doing more harm th
an good.
The drum book I consider the most valuable is Bob Moses Drum Wisdom. Way more tha
n a book of exercises, this text is a guide for playing the drums in a musical w
ay. I recommend it to non-drummers as well, as the concepts and ideas Moses talk
s about go way beyond any particular instrument and reach into the realm of pure
music making.
Though not at a drum method book, the Real Book merits a mention as a source for
learning standard jazz songs. It s important to develop this repertoire so you ca
n validate all the things you practice out of books by putting them into a music
al application. Knowing the tunes in this book also creates a common ground betw
een musicians, so you can perform together without any rehearsal.

Bill Bachman
I m of course a little bit biased on this one, but here s my list of the main resour
ces I use with students. (Keep in mind that I m usually focusing on hand technique
.)
1. www.drumworkout.com
I take drummers of all levels and interests through my Extreme Hands Makeover pl
an, which is on the site. I also assign different workouts to do, which include
play-along videos where students can watch my hands and make theirs match them.

Every technical issue you may encounter comes back to some basic fundamental ski
ll that needs further attention, and that s what this site is designed to do.
Stick Technique: The Essential Guide for the Modern Drummer by Bill Bachman
Stick Technique: The Essential Guide for the Modern Drummer by Bill Bachman
2. Stick Technique: The Essential Guide for the Modern Drummer by Bill Bachman
A portion of this book is culled from my articles in the Strictly Technique sect
ion in Modern Drummer magazine, and another portion focuses on my technique opus
describing all of the essential techniques thoroughly and simply. This book off
ers the fast track to well-rounded mechanics that will be used every time you pl
ay.
3. The Funky Primer by Charles Dowd
This is a fantastic book for developing independence (coordination) in straight8th rock/funk. It starts very simple and gradually builds in complexity. By the
time you get through the whole book, you ve worked out a ton of coordination issue
s, so I don t think there will be many surprises left.
4. The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley
These pages are packed with wisdom. Plus, there are independence exercises that
include the middle beat of the triplet. Many people learn jazz independence by a
pplying swing 8th-note rhythms from other books, but I feel that you miss so muc
h vocabulary without also exploring the middle beat of the triplet.
5. Double Bass Drumming by Joe Franco
I remember looking through this book at the store and thinking it seemed pretty
simple. I bought it primarily with the purpose of putting miles on my left foot.
The content looks pretty simple on paper, but it took a lot of time to be able
to play all of the hand/foot combos accurately and convincingly.

Marc Dicciani
For me, the answer to this simple question is long and complicated because it ha
s to do with how we learn and improve as a result of how our brain, nervous syst
em, and body functions. I ll be more direct and brief here, but look for a future
in-depth article on this topic.
As a result of study and research in areas including neurobiology, neuroscience,
psychoacoustics, cerebral physiology, perception, and cognition over the past s
ix years, I believe that using books or instructional products alone is not an e
ffective way to develop into a highly skilled musical drummer. In fact, working
from instructional materials incorrectly could actually be counterproductive to
this goal, so I m hesitant to post a list of books and other materials without an
explanation.
Which books or instructional materials we use to practice is not as important as
how we use them. Books tend to be filled with examples, but if we just practice
and memorize the examples instead of the underlying principles, our learning is
illusory. Sometimes we tend to mistake fluency in playing examples with mastery
of the underlying content.
Syncopation (Ted Reed)
Syncopation by Ted Reed
That said, the top-three books that I recommend for all students are: Syncopatio

n (Ted Reed), Modern Reading Text in 4/4 (Louis Bellson), and Stick Control (G.L
. Stone). These books are effective because, when practiced correctly, they allo
w for your interpretations and ideas of how to use them. Other books that I ofte
n use, because they are more open-ended and encourage you to experiment and impr
ovise, include those by John Riley, Rick Latham, David Garibaldi, Gary Chafee, J
ason Gianni, and the late Chuck Silverman.
Techniques need to be put into a musical context, which is where playing along t
o recordings, loops, and drumless tracks become indispensible in our development
. Also, work with a qualified instructor who can give you instant objective feed
back, record yourself playing, watch drum videos, read books and magazines about
music, drumming, and drummers, go to concerts, attend clinics, experiment with
different tunings and setups, and jam with other musicians often. All of these t
hings work together to help you grow.
There s no magic, quick fix, or short cut to becoming a great drummer. It requires
time, commitment, enthusiasm, and patience, along with humility and respect for
the instrument, the techniques, and the music. I tell my students to go where o
thers don t, dig deep, ask the right questions, never lose sight of your goals, ta
ke risks, and be brutally honest with themselves. Good luck, and enjoy the ride!

Modern Drummer Education Team Weighs In On: Favorite Drum Books
(Updated 12/10/15)
We asked the members of the MD Education Team to give us their five or so favori
te drum books. Here s what they said.

Alfred Drum Method 1


Alfred Drum Method 1 by Dave Black and Sandy Feldstein
Joe Bergamini
I use dozens of books in my teaching practice, and I have written and edited man
y books as well. Here are probably my favorite and most-used drum books:
1. Alfred Drum Method 1 by Dave Black and Sandy Feldstein: This snare drum metho

d still seems to me to be the most logical step-by-step approach to teach a new


drummer how to read music, play basic rhythms, and learn rudiments.
2. Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone: What can I say that hasn t been said be
fore? This is the Bible of developing good hands.
3. Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice. It really delivers what the title says. If
you can play everything in this book, you will be able to play most classic rock
songs, and that s what many of my students want to do! Keep in mind that you shou
ldn t just play through the book as written; you can and should vary the ride and
left-foot patterns as Carmine recommends.
4. Future Sounds by David Garibaldi. This is my favorite drum book. When practic
ed correctly, it simultaneously improves your time and groove, coordination, mus
icality (due to the two sound level concept ), creativity, and rhythmic vocabulary
(including some very cool odd phrases). To say nothing of the fact that everythi
ng between its covers is insanely funky.
5. The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley: The best all-around book in existence
to begin to understand and play jazz on drums.
6. Afro-Cuban Rhythms for Drumset by Frank Malabe and Bob Weiner: Any intermedia
te to advanced student I have ever taught is nodding their head right now. Even
if you don t think you ll ever play a Latin gig, you must go through this book if yo
u are a serious player.
7. Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer by Jim Chapin: This remains a benc
hmark for coordination and independence.
8. Groove Essentials 1.0 by Tommy Igoe: If you can nail every song in this book,
you can play a pro gig. Enough said.
9. Master Studies by Joe Morello: The pro drummer s handbook to developing and mai
ntaining facility and technique.
10. The Encyclopedia of Double Bass Drumming by Bobby Rondinelli and Michael Lau
ren: A very musical and effective intro to double bass, and packed with really f
un grooves and licks. I favor this book for double bass because you can actually
use the material on the right rock gigs.
There are many, many other books I use and love. Here are just a few that I use
all the time (including the level of player that I feel each book is aimed at):
It s Your Move by Dom Famularo
It s Your Move by Dom Famularo
It s Your Move by Dom Famularo with Joe Bergamini (intermediate to advanced)
The Commandments of R&B Drumming by Zoro (intermediate to advanced)
Beyond Bop Drumming by John Riley (advanced)
Baby Steps to Giant Steps by Jim Rupp and Peter Retzlaff (beginner to intermedia
te)
The New Method for Afro-Cuban Drumming by Jimmy Branly (advanced)
Portraits in Rhythm by Anthony J. Cirone (advanced)
Drumset 101 by Dave Black and Steve Houghton (beginner)

Rhythmic Illusions by Gavin Harrsion (advanced)


Advanced Funk Studies by Rick Latham (intermediate)
I d also like to mention a couple of my own books that my students really enjoy. I v
e written several books that study the greats, and they create a nice supplement
to the methods above. With Wizdom Media, my company with Dom Famularo, we ve also
released several titles that really fill in some holes in the available literat
ure.
Neil Peart: Taking Center Stage by Joe Bergamini
Drum Techniques of Led Zeppelin by Joe Bergamini
MD Classic Tracks by Joe Bergamini
Pedal Control by Dom Famularo and Joe Bergamini with Stephane Chamberland
Eighth Note Rock and Beyond by Glenn Ceglia
The Weaker Side by Dom Famularo and Stephane Chamberland
Arrival Drum Play-Along by Joe Bergamini with Dom Famularo
I hope you get a chance to check out some of the titles on my list. There are al
so many great DVDs to recommend. Maybe we can do a separate article about those!

Mike Sorrentino
First and foremost, I suggest that every student put on music and play along for
hours. It amazes me that I actually have to tell them to do that nowadays! Then
, when it s time to geek out on practice material, here are my favorites.
1. Elementary Drum Method by Roy Burns

Jason Gianni
1. Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer by Ted Reed
Simply referred to as Syncopation by the majority of drummers, this historic boo
k has been around for over half of a century and is perhaps the most utilized dr
umset exercise book in drumming pedagogy today. The book, for the most part, con
tains simple steps to building and understanding rhythmic reading, especially in
the first thirty-plus pages. However, the eight pages of forty-bar exercises of
mixed rhythms that have an unlimited amount of applications to the drumset are
the most popular. As with all these books, it s important to align yourself with a
good teacher to really show you how to use this book in a multitude of ways.
2. The New Breed by Gary Chester
Chester popularized the concept of using groove-oriented systems (or ostinatos)

with this book, and contemporary drummers have taken these ideas to extreme leve
ls.
3. Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone
Stone s book is the holy grail of hand development. As with the previous two, ther
e are many combinations and applications of the exercises that can be used to de
velop not only hand technique, but also foot chops, limb independence, and endur
ance. Again, a good teacher will open your mind to the endless possibilities con
tained throughout this book.
4. The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley
This is a must-have for drummers who want to have a strong background in jazz co
ncepts. The book contains everything from exercises for soloing and independence
to historic text mentioning the most influential jazz drummers. John Riley is o
ne of the most reputable educators, players, and historians in the world, and th
is book is a great summary of his wealth of knowledge.
For Drummers Only by Jim Chapin
For Drummers Only by Jim Chapin
5. For Drummers Only by Jim Chapin
This book was assembled in the late- 60s by Jim Chapin and is one of the most usab
le resources for big-band chart reading available. Unlike a lot of current playalong recordings that have the drums removed digitally, these recordings were ma
de in a live setting with a real big band with Chapin keeping time on the hi-hat
. The charts can be a little confusing at times, but the notes/figures themselve
s are accurate and are very helpful for drummers interested in working with a bi
g band.
6. A Funky Primer by Charles Dowd
This is one of the most usable books on standard rock patterns. The layout is ea
sy to follow, as you can compare the patterns above and below each other to see
the variations from groove to groove. There are an endless amount of application
s that can be used with these grooves (converting them to odd-time meters, addin
g polyrhythmic accents, adding more ostinatos, etc.). There are not necessarily
any groundbreaking theories here, but the book contains a great collection of us
able patterns in any rock or groove-related circumstance.
7. Future Sounds by David Garibaldi
When coupled with Garibaldi s compilation of classic Tower of Power drum transcrip
tions from his other book, The Funky Beat, you have perhaps the best assortment
of funk drumming education available. Future Sounds delves into Garibaldi s method
s of how he creates drum parts and offers endless possibilities for pattern deve
lopment.
8. The Drummer s Bible by Mick Berry and Jason Gianni
The Drummers Bible has been a labor of love for Mick and me. It s over 200 pages o
f every drum style we could think of for the current working drummer. It consist
s of primary patterns followed by a few practical variations. Part historic and
part instructional, there s a lot of information included, as well as two CDs with
demonstrations of nearly 200 grooves.

David Stanoch

As an educator and student myself, I m a fan of all resources available to inspire


, improve, and enjoy the journey, be it magazines, books, DVDs, the Internet, re
cordings, or performances. We are fortunate to live in an era where there is so
much information available to us.
I found it difficult to narrow down my essential resources to only five or ten c
hoices, so I m taking the liberty of listing ten categories of choices based on th
e subject matter they represent.

LET S ROCK!
Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice
Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice
Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice and Song Charting Made Easy by Jim Riley
Many of my students come to me with a background in rock drumming. I m still a fan
of Carmine s classic book because it s easy to digest and the exercises are legit f
or the genre. It helps smooth out rough edges the student might be experiencing
in executing a big beat.
Jim s book is much newer but essential because it gets the student recognizing the
bigger picture of basic chord structure, harmonic movement, and form in a userfriendly fashion via play-along tracks. It also teaches a practical method for p
roducing a shorthand chart.

BACK TO THE ROOTS


The Essence of Afro-Cuban Percussion and Drumset and The Essence of Brazilian Pe
rcussion and Drumset by Ed Uribe and African Rhythms and Independence for Drumse
t by Mokhtar Samba and Dan Thress
The Uribe books are like nothing I ve ever seen. There s history, rhythm section sco
res, hand percussion patterns, and plenty of drumset study, and both books have
CDs that are essential for absorbing the feel of the music. Samba and Thress book
/CD is a fabulous introduction to modern African drumming and culture.

BRING ON THE FUNK


The History of R&B/Funk Drumming by Yogi Horton and Commandments of R&B Drumming
by Zoro and Russ Miller
The video of Yogi is one of the first instructional tapes ever produced. It has
been out-of-print for years but is available online and is worth watching over a
nd over. Yogi s playing and insights were a tremendous gift that s thankfully preser
ved for all of us to enjoy.
There are a lot of great method books on funk drumming, notably those by David G
aribaldi and Jim Payne, but this book by Miller and Zoro lays out the history of
the genre with great detail.

SWING IS THE THING

Art Blakey
Art Blakey
Art Blakey

s Jazz Messages by John Ramsay


s Jazz Messages by John Ramsay
s Jazz Messages by John Ramsay and Brush Artistry by Philly Joe Jones (
demonstration by Mel Brown available online)

There are many terrific resources on jazz, but what I love about Ramsay s book is
how he captures the nuances of Blakey, who s a true pioneer on the instrument. Alt
hough long out-of-print, Philly Joe s method book on brushwork is a classic.

ONE STEP BEYOND


Life on Drums by Billy Martin and Allen Herman
Through engaging conversation and performances, Martin and Herman shed light on
how to develop a strong foundation as a drummer and how to think outside the box
as an accompanist and soloist.

THE SPACE BETWEEN BEATS


Time Awareness for All Musicians by Peter Erskine and Mastering the Tables of Ti
me by David Stanoch
Of all of the prolific contributions the great Peter Erskine has made, in my opi
nion, this is his masterpiece. It s a must-have for any serious player, but even i
f you re not serious read it anyway. You ll be glad you did.
Having been inspired by Tony Williams and Joe Morello to develop exercises based
on the table of time to improve my inner clock, imagination, phrasing, control,
and technique, I decided to write my own book. A solid groove, a good feel, and
steady time all begin with a strong sense of subdivision. The book works to cre
ate confidence in establishing that foundation.

GET ON THE GOOD FOOT


Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer, Part 2: A Guide to Foot Technique by Jojo
Mayer
While there have been some fine works on bass drum control in the past, there s no
precedent for the amount of content this DVD teaches us on the subject.

IT S GROOVE TIME!
The Groove is Here by
The Groove is Here by
The Groove is Here by
teve Gadd s Up Close,

Steve Jordan
Steve Jordan
Steve Jordan, Jeff Porcaro: Instructional DVD for Drums, S
and Billy Ward s Big Time

These four DVDs are priceless if you re looking for information and inspiration to
improve your groove. In Steve Jordan and Jeff Porcaro s works, you ll see focused a
pproaches on how to lay down a strong foundation. The playing in each DVD is abs
olutely stellar.

Gadd s DVD demonstrates how thoughtful and deep of an artist he truly is. His word
s contain endless pearls of wisdom, and you can tell from anything he plays, fro
m snare solos to forward-thinking beats, just how important every note is.
Billy Ward s DVD introduces us to his free-spirited character and creative approac
h. Billy has fresh, clear concepts and some off-the-wall ideas that help open th
e door to how to develop a very personal approach to the instrument.

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT


Drum Wisdom by Bob Moses and Pocket Change by Ndugu Chancler
Although these books contain musical examples, the gist of each shares a more ph
ilosophic approach to drumming. Ndugu s book takes you from the foundation to prof
essionalism. Invaluable insights abound in both books.

ANCIENT TO THE FUTURE


The Drummer s Complete Vocabulary as Taught by Alan Dawson by John Ramsay, Stick C
ontrol by George Lawrence Stone, Syncopation for the Modern Drummer by Ted Reed,
and 4-Way Coordination by Marvin Dahlgren and Elliot Fine)
Dawson, who helped found the drum department at Berklee College of Music in 1957
, emphasized total musicality as a drummer. Common texts he employed in his meth
odology include three of the most classic volumes of our instrument.
Stone s Stick Control is the most classic work of its kind. Dawson would interpret
the stickings from it in a variety of ways on drumset and would encourage stude
nts to sing melodies while the playing different combinations.
Reed s Syncopation is also the classic work of its kind, and Dawson would interpre
t the pages in a variety of ways to develop coordination.
Also a fan of 4-Way Coordination, Dawson used this book with his students to hel
p them begin to use the hi-hat foot as an independent voice.
Dawson s pedagogy has been wonderfully preserved for prosperity and clearly explai
ned in the book by John Ramsay, who was a student and friend of Alan s. The Comple
te Vocabulary also includes the famous rudimental ritual warm-up for drumset.

Jeremy Hummel
These are listed in no particular order:
Alfred Drum Method, Book 1 by Dave Black and Sandy Feldstein

Great Hands for a Lifetime by Tommy Igoe

Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice


Master Studies by Joe Morello
Beyond Bop Drumming by John Riley
The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley
The Language of Drumming by Benny Greb

I also use sections of the following:


Essential Drum Fills by Peter Erskine
It s Your Move by Dom Famularo
The Master Drummer by John Riley
Stick Technique by Bill Bachman

Marko Djordjevic
There are many books containing useful information that pertains to the art of d
rumming. Out of the books I know about, the following stand out:
Gary Chaffee s Patterns
Gary Chaffee s Patterns
Gary Chaffee s Patterns series
Gary Chester s New Breed
Marvin Dahlgren and Elliot Fine s 4-Way Coordination
Jim Chapin s Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer
George Lawrence Stone s Stick Control (especially the beginning pages)
All of the above require some musical guidance, as it may be easy to get hung up
on playing the right notes without realizing that drumming is made up of a lot
more than just playing what s on the page. Feel, dynamics (both internal and gener
al), flow, touch, sound, and so on, have to be considered in order to say that y
ou re playing the written material in a musical and relevant manner. The idea is t
hat anything you play, from the simplest beat to the most difficult exercise, ul
timately has to sound like music. Miss that, and you might be doing more harm th
an good.
The drum book I consider the most valuable is Bob Moses Drum Wisdom. Way more tha
n a book of exercises, this text is a guide for playing the drums in a musical w
ay. I recommend it to non-drummers as well, as the concepts and ideas Moses talk
s about go way beyond any particular instrument and reach into the realm of pure
music making.
Though not at a drum method book, the Real Book merits a mention as a source for
learning standard jazz songs. It s important to develop this repertoire so you ca
n validate all the things you practice out of books by putting them into a music

al application. Knowing the tunes in this book also creates a common ground betw
een musicians, so you can perform together without any rehearsal.

The Groove Is Here

Bill Bachman
I m of course a little bit biased on this one, but here s my list of the main resour
ces I use with students. (Keep in mind that I m usually focusing on hand technique
.)
1. www.drumworkout.com
I take drummers of all levels and interests through my Extreme Hands Makeover pl
an, which is on the site. I also assign different workouts to do, which include
play-along videos where students can watch my hands and make theirs match them.
Every technical issue you may encounter comes back to some basic fundamental ski
ll that needs further attention, and that s what this site is designed to do.
Stick Technique: The Essential Guide for the Modern Drummer by Bill Bachman
Stick Technique: The Essential Guide for the Modern Drummer by Bill Bachman
2. Stick Technique: The Essential Guide for the Modern Drummer by Bill Bachman
A portion of this book is culled from my articles in the Strictly Technique sect
ion in Modern Drummer magazine, and another portion focuses on my technique opus
describing all of the essential techniques thoroughly and simply. This book off
ers the fast track to well-rounded mechanics that will be used every time you pl
ay.
3. The Funky Primer by Charles Dowd
This is a fantastic book for developing independence (coordination) in straight8th rock/funk. It starts very simple and gradually builds in complexity. By the
time you get through the whole book, you ve worked out a ton of coordination issue
s, so I don t think there will be many surprises left.
4. The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley
These pages are packed with wisdom. Plus, there are independence exercises that
include the middle beat of the triplet. Many people learn jazz independence by a
pplying swing 8th-note rhythms from other books, but I feel that you miss so muc
h vocabulary without also exploring the middle beat of the triplet.
5. Double Bass Drumming by Joe Franco
I remember looking through this book at the store and thinking it seemed pretty
simple. I bought it primarily with the purpose of putting miles on my left foot.
The content looks pretty simple on paper, but it took a lot of time to be able
to play all of the hand/foot combos accurately and convincingly.

Marc Dicciani
For me, the answer to this simple question is long and complicated because it ha
s to do with how we learn and improve as a result of how our brain, nervous syst
em, and body functions. I ll be more direct and brief here, but look for a future
in-depth article on this topic.
As a result of study and research in areas including neurobiology, neuroscience,
psychoacoustics, cerebral physiology, perception, and cognition over the past s

ix years, I believe that using books or instructional products alone is not an e


ffective way to develop into a highly skilled musical drummer. In fact, working
from instructional materials incorrectly could actually be counterproductive to
this goal, so I m hesitant to post a list of books and other materials without an
explanation.
Which books or instructional materials we use to practice is not as important as
how we use them. Books tend to be filled with examples, but if we just practice
and memorize the examples instead of the underlying principles, our learning is
illusory. Sometimes we tend to mistake fluency in playing examples with mastery
of the underlying content.
Syncopation (Ted Reed)
Syncopation by Ted Reed
That said, the top-three books that I recommend for all students are: Syncopatio
n (Ted Reed), Modern Reading Text in 4/4 (Louis Bellson), and Stick Control (G.L
. Stone). These books are effective because, when practiced correctly, they allo
w for your interpretations and ideas of how to use them. Other books that I ofte
n use, because they are more open-ended and encourage you to experiment and impr
ovise, include those by John Riley, Rick Latham, David Garibaldi, Gary Chafee, J
ason Gianni, and the late Chuck Silverman.
Techniques need to be put into a musical context, which is where playing along t
o recordings, loops, and drumless tracks become indispensible in our development
. Also, work with a qualified instructor who can give you instant objective feed
back, record yourself playing, watch drum videos, read books and magazines about
music, drumming, and drummers, go to concerts, attend clinics, experiment with
different tunings and setups, and jam with other musicians often. All of these t
hings work together to help you grow.
There s no magic, quick fix, or short cut to becoming a great drummer. It requires
time, commitment, enthusiasm, and patience, along with humility and respect for
the instrument, the techniques, and the music. I tell my students to go where o
thers don t, dig deep, ask the right questions, never lose sight of your goals, ta
ke risks, and be brutally honest with themselves. Good luck, and enjoy the ride!

Modern Drummer Education Team Weighs In On: Favorite Drum Books

(Updated 12/10/15)
We asked the members of the MD Education Team to give us their five or so favori
te drum books. Here s what they said.

Alfred Drum Method 1


Alfred Drum Method 1 by Dave Black and Sandy Feldstein
Joe Bergamini
I use dozens of books in my teaching practice, and I have written and edited man
y books as well. Here are probably my favorite and most-used drum books:
1. Alfred Drum Method 1 by Dave Black and Sandy Feldstein: This snare drum metho
d still seems to me to be the most logical step-by-step approach to teach a new
drummer how to read music, play basic rhythms, and learn rudiments.
2. Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone: What can I say that hasn t been said be
fore? This is the Bible of developing good hands.
3. Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice. It really delivers what the title says. If
you can play everything in this book, you will be able to play most classic rock
songs, and that s what many of my students want to do! Keep in mind that you shou
ldn t just play through the book as written; you can and should vary the ride and
left-foot patterns as Carmine recommends.
4. Future Sounds by David Garibaldi. This is my favorite drum book. When practic
ed correctly, it simultaneously improves your time and groove, coordination, mus
icality (due to the two sound level concept ), creativity, and rhythmic vocabulary
(including some very cool odd phrases). To say nothing of the fact that everythi
ng between its covers is insanely funky.
5. The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley: The best all-around book in existence
to begin to understand and play jazz on drums.
6. Afro-Cuban Rhythms for Drumset by Frank Malabe and Bob Weiner: Any intermedia
te to advanced student I have ever taught is nodding their head right now. Even
if you don t think you ll ever play a Latin gig, you must go through this book if yo
u are a serious player.
7. Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer by Jim Chapin: This remains a benc
hmark for coordination and independence.
8. Groove Essentials 1.0 by Tommy Igoe: If you can nail every song in this book,
you can play a pro gig. Enough said.
9. Master Studies by Joe Morello: The pro drummer s handbook to developing and mai
ntaining facility and technique.
10. The Encyclopedia of Double Bass Drumming by Bobby Rondinelli and Michael Lau
ren: A very musical and effective intro to double bass, and packed with really f
un grooves and licks. I favor this book for double bass because you can actually
use the material on the right rock gigs.
There are many, many other books I use and love. Here are just a few that I use
all the time (including the level of player that I feel each book is aimed at):
It s Your Move by Dom Famularo
It s Your Move by Dom Famularo

It s Your Move by Dom Famularo with Joe Bergamini (intermediate to advanced)


The Commandments of R&B Drumming by Zoro (intermediate to advanced)
Beyond Bop Drumming by John Riley (advanced)
Baby Steps to Giant Steps by Jim Rupp and Peter Retzlaff (beginner to intermedia
te)
The New Method for Afro-Cuban Drumming by Jimmy Branly (advanced)
Portraits in Rhythm by Anthony J. Cirone (advanced)
Drumset 101 by Dave Black and Steve Houghton (beginner)
Rhythmic Illusions by Gavin Harrsion (advanced)
Advanced Funk Studies by Rick Latham (intermediate)
I d also like to mention a couple of my own books that my students really enjoy. I v
e written several books that study the greats, and they create a nice supplement
to the methods above. With Wizdom Media, my company with Dom Famularo, we ve also
released several titles that really fill in some holes in the available literat
ure.
Neil Peart: Taking Center Stage by Joe Bergamini
Drum Techniques of Led Zeppelin by Joe Bergamini
MD Classic Tracks by Joe Bergamini
Pedal Control by Dom Famularo and Joe Bergamini with Stephane Chamberland
Eighth Note Rock and Beyond by Glenn Ceglia
The Weaker Side by Dom Famularo and Stephane Chamberland
Arrival Drum Play-Along by Joe Bergamini with Dom Famularo
I hope you get a chance to check out some of the titles on my list. There are al
so many great DVDs to recommend. Maybe we can do a separate article about those!

First and foremost, I suggest that every student put on music and play along for
hours. It amazes me that I actually have to tell them to do that nowadays! Then

1. Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer by Ted Reed


Simply referred to as Syncopation by the majority of drummers, this historic boo
k has been around for over half of a century and is perhaps the most utilized dr
umset exercise book in drumming pedagogy today. The book, for the most part, con
tains simple steps to building and understanding rhythmic reading, especially in
the first thirty-plus pages. However, the eight pages of forty-bar exercises of
mixed rhythms that have an unlimited amount of applications to the drumset are
the most popular. As with all these books, it s important to align yourself with a
good teacher to really show you how to use this book in a multitude of ways.
2. The New Breed by Gary Chester
Chester popularized the concept of using groove-oriented systems (or ostinatos)
with this book, and contemporary drummers have taken these ideas to extreme leve
ls.
3. Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone
Stone s book is the holy grail of hand development. As with the previous two, ther
e are many combinations and applications of the exercises that can be used to de
velop not only hand technique, but also foot chops, limb independence, and endur
ance. Again, a good teacher will open your mind to the endless possibilities con
tained throughout this book.
4. The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley
This is a must-have for drummers who want to have a strong background in jazz co
ncepts. The book contains everything from exercises for soloing and independence
to historic text mentioning the most influential jazz drummers. John Riley is o
ne of the most reputable educators, players, and historians in the world, and th
is book is a great summary of his wealth of knowledge.
For Drummers Only by Jim Chapin
For Drummers Only by Jim Chapin
5. For Drummers Only by Jim Chapin
This book was assembled in the late- 60s by Jim Chapin and is one of the most usab
le resources for big-band chart reading available. Unlike a lot of current playalong recordings that have the drums removed digitally, these recordings were ma
de in a live setting with a real big band with Chapin keeping time on the hi-hat
. The charts can be a little confusing at times, but the notes/figures themselve
s are accurate and are very helpful for drummers interested in working with a bi
g band.
6. A Funky Primer by Charles Dowd
This is one of the most usable books on standard rock patterns. The layout is ea
sy to follow, as you can compare the patterns above and below each other to see
the variations from groove to groove. There are an endless amount of application
s that can be used with these grooves (converting them to odd-time meters, addin
g polyrhythmic accents, adding more ostinatos, etc.). There are not necessarily
any groundbreaking theories here, but the book contains a great collection of us
able patterns in any rock or groove-related circumstance.
7. Future Sounds by David Garibaldi
When coupled with Garibaldi s compilation of classic Tower of Power drum transcrip
tions from his other book, The Funky Beat, you have perhaps the best assortment

of funk drumming education available. Future Sounds delves into Garibaldi s method
s of how he creates drum parts and offers endless possibilities for pattern deve
lopment.
8. The Drummer s Bible by Mick Berry and Jason Gianni
The Drummers Bible has been a labor of love for Mick and me. It s over 200 pages o
f every drum style we could think of for the current working drummer. It consist
s of primary patterns followed by a few practical variations. Part historic and
part instructional, there s a lot of information included, as well as two CDs with
demonstrations of nearly 200 grooves.

David Stanoch
As an educator and student myself, I m a fan of all resources available to inspire
, improve, and enjoy the journey, be it magazines, books, DVDs, the Internet, re
cordings, or performances. We are fortunate to live in an era where there is so
much information available to us.
I found it difficult to narrow down my essential resources to only five or ten c
hoices, so I m taking the liberty of listing ten categories of choices based on th
e subject matter they represent.

LET S ROCK!
Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice
Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice
Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice and Song Charting Made Easy by Jim Riley
Many of my students come to me with a background in rock drumming. I m still a fan
of Carmine s classic book because it s easy to digest and the exercises are legit f
or the genre. It helps smooth out rough edges the student might be experiencing
in executing a big beat.
Jim s book is much newer but essential because it gets the student recognizing the
bigger picture of basic chord structure, harmonic movement, and form in a userfriendly fashion via play-along tracks. It also teaches a practical method for p
roducing a shorthand chart.

BACK TO THE ROOTS


The Essence of Afro-Cuban Percussion and Drumset and The Essence of Brazilian Pe
rcussion and Drumset by Ed Uribe and African Rhythms and Independence for Drumse
t by Mokhtar Samba and Dan Thress
The Uribe books are like nothing I ve ever seen. There s history, rhythm section sco
res, hand percussion patterns, and plenty of drumset study, and both books have
CDs that are essential for absorbing the feel of the music. Samba and Thress book
/CD is a fabulous introduction to modern African drumming and culture.

BRING ON THE FUNK

The History of R&B/Funk Drumming by Yogi Horton and Commandments of R&B Drumming
by Zoro and Russ Miller
The video of Yogi is one of the first instructional tapes ever produced. It has
been out-of-print for years but is available online and is worth watching over a
nd over. Yogi s playing and insights were a tremendous gift that s thankfully preser
ved for all of us to enjoy.
There are a lot of great method books on funk drumming, notably those by David G
aribaldi and Jim Payne, but this book by Miller and Zoro lays out the history of
the genre with great detail.

SWING IS THE THING


Art Blakey

s Jazz Messages by John Ramsay


s Jazz Messages by John Ramsay
s Jazz Messages by John Ramsay and Brush Artistry by Philly Joe Jones (
demonstration by Mel Brown available online)

There are many terrific resources on jazz, but what I love about Ramsay s book is
how he captures the nuances of Blakey, who s a true pioneer on the instrument. Alt
hough long out-of-print, Philly Joe s method book on brushwork is a classic.

ONE STEP BEYOND


Life on Drums by Billy Martin and Allen Herman
Through engaging conversation and performances, Martin and Herman shed light on
how to develop a strong foundation as a drummer and how to think outside the box
as an accompanist and soloist.

THE SPACE BETWEEN BEATS


Time Awareness for All Musicians by Peter Erskine and Mastering the Tables of Ti
me by David Stanoch
Of all of the prolific contributions the great Peter Erskine has made, in my opi
nion, this is his masterpiece. It s a must-have for any serious player, but even i
f you re not serious read it anyway. You ll be glad you did.
Having been inspired by Tony Williams and Joe Morello to develop exercises based
on the table of time to improve my inner clock, imagination, phrasing, control,
and technique, I decided to write my own book. A solid groove, a good feel, and
steady time all begin with a strong sense of subdivision. The book works to cre
ate confidence in establishing that foundation.

GET ON THE GOOD FOOT


Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer, Part 2: A Guide to Foot Technique by Jojo
Mayer
While there have been some fine works on bass drum control in the past, there s no

precedent for the amount of content this DVD teaches us on the subject.

IT S GROOVE TIME!
The Groove is Here by
The Groove is Here by
The Groove is Here by
teve Gadd s Up Close,

Steve Jordan
Steve Jordan
Steve Jordan, Jeff Porcaro: Instructional DVD for Drums, S
and Billy Ward s Big Time

These four DVDs are priceless if you re looking for information and inspiration to
improve your groove. In Steve Jordan and Jeff Porcaro s works, you ll see focused a
pproaches on how to lay down a strong foundation. The playing in each DVD is abs
olutely stellar.
Gadd s DVD demonstrates how thoughtful and deep of an artist he truly is. His word
s contain endless pearls of wisdom, and you can tell from anything he plays, fro
m snare solos to forward-thinking beats, just how important every note is.
Billy Ward s DVD introduces us to his free-spirited character and creative approac
h. Billy has fresh, clear concepts and some off-the-wall ideas that help open th
e door to how to develop a very personal approach to the instrument.

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT


Drum Wisdom by Bob Moses and Pocket Change by Ndugu Chancler
Although these books contain musical examples, the gist of each shares a more ph
ilosophic approach to drumming. Ndugu s book takes you from the foundation to prof
essionalism. Invaluable insights abound in both books.

ANCIENT TO THE FUTURE


The Drummer s Complete Vocabulary as Taught by Alan Dawson by John Ramsay, Stick C
ontrol by George Lawrence Stone, Syncopation for the Modern Drummer by Ted Reed,
and 4-Way Coordination by Marvin Dahlgren and Elliot Fine)
Dawson, who helped found the drum department at Berklee College of Music in 1957
, emphasized total musicality as a drummer. Common texts he employed in his meth
odology include three of the most classic volumes of our instrument.
Stone s Stick Control is the most classic work of its kind. Dawson would interpret
the stickings from it in a variety of ways on drumset and would encourage stude
nts to sing melodies while the playing different combinations.
Reed s Syncopation is also the classic work of its kind, and Dawson would interpre
t the pages in a variety of ways to develop coordination.
Also a fan of 4-Way Coordination, Dawson used this book with his students to hel
p them begin to use the hi-hat foot as an independent voice.
Dawson s pedagogy has been wonderfully preserved for prosperity and clearly explai
ned in the book by John Ramsay, who was a student and friend of Alan s. The Comple
te Vocabulary also includes the famous rudimental ritual warm-up for drumset.

Jeremy Hummel
These are listed in no particular order:
Alfred Drum Method, Book 1 by Dave Black and Sandy Feldstein
Groove Essentials 1.0 by Tommy Igoe
Groove Essentials 2.0 by Tommy Igoe

Great Hands for a Lifetime by Tommy Igoe
Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice
Master Studies by Joe Morello
Beyond Bop Drumming by John Riley
The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley
The Language of Drumming by Benny Greb

I also use sections of the following:


Essential Drum Fills by Peter Erskine
It s Your Move by Dom Famularo
The Master Drummer by John Riley
Stick Technique by Bill Bachman

Marko Djordjevic
There are many books containing useful information that pertains to the art of d
rumming. Out of the books I know about, the following stand out:
Gary Chaffee s Patterns
Gary Chaffee s Patterns
Gary Chaffee s Patterns series
Gary Chester s New Breed
Marvin Dahlgren and Elliot Fine s 4-Way Coordination
Jim Chapin s Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer
George Lawrence Stone s Stick Control (especially the beginning pages)
All of the above require some musical guidance, as it may be easy to get hung up
on playing the right notes without realizing that drumming is made up of a lot
more than just playing what s on the page. Feel, dynamics (both internal and gener

al), flow, touch, sound, and so on, have to be considered in order to say that y
ou re playing the written material in a musical and relevant manner. The idea is t
hat anything you play, from the simplest beat to the most difficult exercise, ul
timately has to sound like music. Miss that, and you might be doing more harm th
an good.
The drum book I consider the most valuable is Bob Moses Drum Wisdom. Way more tha
n a book of exercises, this text is a guide for playing the drums in a musical w
ay. I recommend it to non-drummers as well, as the concepts and ideas Moses talk
s about go way beyond any particular instrument and reach into the realm of pure
music making.
Though not at a drum method book, the Real Book merits a mention as a source for
learning standard jazz songs. It s important to develop this repertoire so you ca
n validate all the things you practice out of books by putting them into a music
al application. Knowing the tunes in this book also creates a common ground betw
een musicians, so you can perform together without any rehearsal.

The Groove Is Here

Bill Bachman
I m of course a little bit biased on this one, but here s my list of the main resour
ces I use with students. (Keep in mind that I m usually focusing on hand technique
.)
1. www.drumworkout.com
I take drummers of all levels and interests through my Extreme Hands Makeover pl
an, which is on the site. I also assign different workouts to do, which include
play-along videos where students can watch my hands and make theirs match them.
Every technical issue you may encounter comes back to some basic fundamental ski
ll that needs further attention, and that s what this site is designed to do.
Stick Technique: The Essential Guide for the Modern Drummer by Bill Bachman
Stick Technique: The Essential Guide for the Modern Drummer by Bill Bachman
2. Stick Technique: The Essential Guide for the Modern Drummer by Bill Bachman
A portion of this book is culled from my articles in the Strictly Technique sect
ion in Modern Drummer magazine, and another portion focuses on my technique opus
describing all of the essential techniques thoroughly and simply. This book off
ers the fast track to well-rounded mechanics that will be used every time you pl
ay.
3. The Funky Primer by Charles Dowd
This is a fantastic book for developing independence (coordination) in straight8th rock/funk. It starts very simple and gradually builds in complexity. By the
time you get through the whole book, you ve worked out a ton of coordination issue
s, so I don t think there will be many surprises left.
4. The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley
These pages are packed with wisdom. Plus, there are independence exercises that
include the middle beat of the triplet. Many people learn jazz independence by a
pplying swing 8th-note rhythms from other books, but I feel that you miss so muc
h vocabulary without also exploring the middle beat of the triplet.
5. Double Bass Drumming by Joe Franco
I remember looking through this book at the store and thinking it seemed pretty

simple. I bought it primarily with the purpose of putting miles on my left foot.
The content looks pretty simple on paper, but it took a lot of time to be able
to play all of the hand/foot combos accurately and convincingly.

Marc Dicciani
For me, the answer to this simple question is long and complicated because it ha
s to do with how we learn and improve as a result of how our brain, nervous syst
em, and body functions. I ll be more direct and brief here, but look for a future
in-depth article on this topic.
As a result of study and research in areas including neurobiology, neuroscience,
psychoacoustics, cerebral physiology, perception, and cognition over the past s
ix years, I believe that using books or instructional products alone is not an e
ffective way to develop into a highly skilled musical drummer. In fact, working
from instructional materials incorrectly could actually be counterproductive to
this goal, so I m hesitant to post a list of books and other materials without an
explanation.
Which books or instructional materials we use to practice is not as important as
how we use them. Books tend to be filled with examples, but if we just practice
and memorize the examples instead of the underlying principles, our learning is
illusory. Sometimes we tend to mistake fluency in playing examples with mastery
of the underlying content.
Syncopation (Ted Reed)
Syncopation by Ted Reed
That said, the top-three books that I recommend for all students are: Syncopatio
n (Ted Reed), Modern Reading Text in 4/4 (Louis Bellson), and Stick Control (G.L
. Stone). These books are effective because, when practiced correctly, they allo
w for your interpretations and ideas of how to use them. Other books that I ofte
n use, because they are more open-ended and encourage you to experiment and impr
ovise, include those by John Riley, Rick Latham, David Garibaldi, Gary Chafee, J
ason Gianni, and the late Chuck Silverman.
Techniques need to be put into a musical context, which is where playing along t
o recordings, loops, and drumless tracks become indispensible in our development
. Also, work with a qualified instructor who can give you instant objective feed
back, record yourself playing, watch drum videos, read books and magazines about
music, drumming, and drummers, go to concerts, attend clinics, experiment with
different tunings and setups, and jam with other musicians often. All of these t
hings work together to help you grow.
There s no magic, quick fix, or short cut to becoming a great drummer. It requires
time, commitment, enthusiasm, and patience, along with humility and respect for
the instrument, the techniques, and the music. I tell my students to go where o
thers don t, dig deep, ask the right questions, never lose sight of your goals, ta
ke risks, and be brutally honest with themselves. Good luck, and enjoy the ride!

Youtube "stars" or E-celebrities are literally just like the Kardashians. You ha
ve these random people that somehow got rich and famous off of just being there.
It sparked people's interests and now...
The entire concept is just so damn weird to me. I go to youtube and constantly s
ee this Casey guy trending with an ungodly amount of views and comments. My firs
t reaction was "this dude looks fucking weird, why does he have so many views."
Overcome with curiosity I take a look at some of his videos. Then my mind gets b

anything. He's not funny, nothing. But yet here he is, with shit tons of viewers

I think both of them are lucky to have each other. Geo stood by Bart's side when
he decided to pursue this career and wasn't making any money. And now look at t
hem, both successful and happily married.?

The building has security. You can't physically get to their door easily withou
t going through the concierge. As well searching a licence plate and getting a a
ddress is virtually impossible to do.?

Youtube "stars" or E-celebrities are literally just like the Kardashians. You ha
ve these random people that somehow got rich and famous off of just being there.
It sparked people's interests and now...
The entire concept is just so damn weird to me. I go to youtube and constantly s
ee this Casey guy trending with an ungodly amount of views and comments. My firs
t reaction was "this dude looks fucking weird, why does he have so many views."
Overcome with curiosity I take a look at some of his videos. Then my mind gets b
lown. He literally is like a Kardashian. He's not entertaining, not talented at
anything. He's not funny, nothing. But yet here he is, with shit tons of viewers
........WHY? HOW??

+Wg w? not dissing Bart. I'm actually quite happy for him. But in the end, a veh
icle is to get you from point A to point B. An ugly car does the same thing as a
nice car. All these fancy cars are is an illusion dick extender for rich people
. Bart's an awesome person whether he drives that Porsche or a Ford focus. It's
just a car is what I'm saying?
