hey trance, i recently went to the new National Library and also the Esplanade library. Esplanade library have all the resources for the arts/music, and i borrowed a number of guitar related original tablatures, how to set up your instruments, techniques etc. Came across loads (i mean LOADS) of books, such as Drumming for Dummies, advanced drummings, and many others that will aid you in many ways. Check out the library at Esplanade first, you'll find yourself staying there for hours..

The book contains lotsa gd stuff that leads to a build up of proper control in one's strokes. And you said it... It contains rudiments in the form of single beat combinations, triplets, as well as some in 6/8, 2/4, that is to be played, as prescribed by the author, for 20 bars continously per exercise variation. It really does yield results!
An excerpt from the book reads, 'Practise at all times with relaxed muscles, stopping at the slightest feeling of tension. Remember, the rhythms in 'Stick Control' are 'conditioners'. They are designed to give control. Control begins in muscularly relaxed action.'

awww man.. i want all these. but. no money..
Hey guys, regarding the Stick Control book. I personally understand how hard it is to find the book, which I why I don't have it but rather, a photocopied version filed nicely in a plastic file (makes it easier to read off a music stand too :lol).
I'm looking for the book too, so maybe someone who lives close to centerpoint can go check out the book stores for us?
Otherwise, maybe Nigel can bring in the books for us?
It's a good book, no worries about that, I can scan in some exercises if you guys want to take a look at them. It's essentially just 40+ pages full of exercises, not much words or instructions, just exercises after exercises.

Opps, my scanner isn't working so I used my digital camera instead. So well, excuse the quality, I tried my best to make the stuff as readable as possible though. :lol:
Anyway, here are 2 pages (linked as they are large images)
Triplet exercises:

One of my favourite set of exercises, single beat combinations:

Like what doublestrokesg has mentioned, the author recommends that you practice each exercise 20 times before moving on to the next one. And also playing them to a metronome, and without a metronome in a open-close-open fashion (start off slow, gradually get faster and stay at your peak speed and bring it down again), and of course, practice them at all dynamic levels. Then apply them to the drumset!
