im there!
Great list. Thanks.
Anyone want to suggest a good book for rudiments and stick control? I remember having a book way back in the day with a gray cover and an illustration on it. 20 years ago.
I love me some drum books! I have a LOT of them. So much so, that I had to kinda stop buying them because I was purchasing more than I was practicing...!
Stick Control, by George Stone is basically required reading. You can spend your entire drumming career in this book.
(Progressive Steps to) Syncopation, by Ted Reed has ~10 page section that I will be working on for the rest of my life. It has infinite practice applications that you can develop, I seem to stumble on new ones all the time.
Master Studies (I & II), by Joe Morello. I recently bought the 2nd book, got maybe two pages in before I had to put it down and vigorously practice the first book! Notable exercises include the "Stone Killer" and fill-in studies.
These are just what I would consider staples that every drummer should have. I am also a big fan of the Wilcoxon books, "Portraits in Rhythm" by A. Cirone, and another possibly out-of-print gem "The Complete Book of Modern Drumming" by Norman Grossman... I think thats the title.
Also for drumset, "Future Sounds" David Garibaldi, "New Breed" Gary Chester, the Jim Chapin book, the Jim Riley books, and, for the truly academic, the Jack DeJohnette book. That thing is ridiculous.

One book that I used with my teacher for two years now is Funky Primer for the Rock Drummer by Charles Dowd. It's a wonderful book. It's full of beats with the hi-hat, snare, and bass, but it also has advice on how to use these beats in different ways (e.g. with the ride on with a hi-hat pedal on 2 and 4).
I just picked up Advanced Funk Druming by Rick Latham, and I'm loving that book as well.

I admit that I had forgotten about this site, so I am glad to see that it is included on the "Drum Links" on our nav bar.

Anyone know any of a book full of beats that are different from the last (Just not variations for pages and pages) one that are good to learn to broaden my library? Yes, I'm aware of groove essentials. Also, the same thing but with fills?
Figure if I learn a beat and fill a day and really work on them, come up with variations and try it in my playing I'll build up a huge library.
So do you think stick control would be a good first drum book?

Not for drumset itself but definitely to get some basic coordination going in your hands. Also, check out the drum rudiments at DrumRudiments.com (those are free!)

In my opinion Joe Morellos Master Studies is one of the best books out there. Its a great stick control book which also shows you how to apply it to drumset...Joe studied with George Lawrence Stone, who wrote Stick Control.
The latest drum book i have gotten was the one that came with my dvd for Niel Perts, "A Work In Progress" and it is awesome.
+1. Awesome book. Has helped me heaps in both my own drumming and teaching at work.
I would also like to recommend Rhythm Section Drumming by Frank Corniola. It covers everything from basic rock beats to complex latin and odd time rhythms and includes several extended exercises and songs with backing tracks. Awesome book.
Oh yeah, definitely "Rhythm Section Drumming", for sure. For a lot of my students, I get them going through Tom Jackson's "Drumming From Top To Bottom" (plus they first get primed through "Stick Control" and Ted Reed's "Syncopation" of course), but I'll photocopy a few pages from "Rhythm Section" o challenge the more adventurous players.
For the ones getting serious with double kick playing, I also pull out the book "The Double Bass Encyclopedia" by Michael Lauren and Bobby Rondinelli....starts easy but then it has heaps of challenging exercises not long after you get through the first few pages. And for those who want to specialise in a different area I also been getting them through a few pages of "Afro-Cuban Rhythms For Drumset" by Frank Malabe and Bob Weiner, a book that I'm still finishing off in my own personal study. One of my double bass students, Jake, thoroughly enjoys the challenges in that one, because he says that it's really making him approach and think about syncopation in such a different way.

I found a book some years ago, recomended by Danny Carey from TOOL. It was titled 5 Way Coordination. I forget who the author was, but I'm sure you could Google it. The basic theory was about utilizing limbs that were momentarily at rest to carry more than one rhythm or a different timing pattern on different parts of the set. It was full of information on the subject, but very difficult to get through. Great one to pick up for a challenge and very beneficial.
Love my Gretsch sound!
Imo, best books are the 'Methode de Batterie' books by D. Agostini. Great books for everybody, from starter through pro.
