Fundamental Drumstick Control: A Beginning Approach To Snare Drum Technique by Jeff Moore

Fundamental Drumstick Control presents essential snare drum technique for the contemporary drumset player. In combination with the more advanced Drumstick Control, this complete technical method delivers a realistic, step-by-step process that develops the drummer’s stick proficiency through an independent, “hands-separate” approach. By presenting fundamental stroke types, the book covers many basic rudiments and popular combinations. Each section also offers drum set applications for time keeping and playing fills and solos. The exercises in Fundamental Drumstick Control establish the foundation for playing strokes without accents, while providing a clear framework for hand development, endurance, and speed training, as well as ideas for maintaining lifelong “chops”.
