Alfred Drumstick Control Standard

Drumstick Control is a snare drum technique method for the drumset player. The book introduces and explains the accented stroke types and combinations both popular and necessary for today's contemporary drummer. All the PAS International Drum Rudiments that contain accents are covered with logical drumset applications (time keeping, fills and solo ideas). This book is a comprehensive technical method organized in a realistic, step-by-step process that focuses on developing stick proficiency through an independent, "hands-separate" approach. The exercises included represent a thorough rudimental manual with practical drumset application, while providing the framework for hand development, endurance and speed training, as well as ideas for "chop" maintenance for life.
