Our Teachers' Review
Stick Control is the most famous drum book ever published, and every serious drummer owns a copy. Originally published in 1935, its systematic approach to sticking patterns develops the hand control, speed, and endurance that form the foundation of all drumming technique.
Our teachers introduce Stick Control alongside method book studies because the two complement each other perfectly. While the method book teaches reading and musical concepts, Stick Control builds the raw physical technique needed to execute them. Students who practice Stick Control daily develop noticeably better hand control and rhythmic accuracy.
