Beyond Stick Control is the book that offers the
snare and drum set player various eight bar solos to develop hand
technique and hand/foot coordination. The book is divided into four
sections: Part A: Hand Technique Development Studies, Part B: Hand/Foot
Development, Part C: Ostinato Foot Pattern Development, and Part D:
Linear Jazz Studies. The hand technique solos in part A serve as the
foundation for the subsequent section B, C, and D. Through the use of
accents, single and double strokes, paradiddles, paradiddle-diddles,
swiss army triplets and their respective inversions (sticking
displacement), the beginning to advanced drummer will greatly improve
hand technique, stick and foot control and feel for their instrument.
The companion CD contains recordings of the eight bar solos. This is a
must for snare and drum set players who want to take their playing to a
higher level.
