Drumeo Hm... probably Syncopation because it’s so easy to apply it to any groove or feel you’re wanting to work on. Another lesser-known book I absolutely loved was “Mel Bay’s Complete Modern Drum Set” by Frank Briggs who I know visited Drumeo not too long ago. That was a great primer for me to start working on a bunch of different groove styles.

Yes they're great books to increase your learning experience as an Drummer musician artist to keep developing of gift talent still Art Drummer N.C 63

Gary Chester’s book is so underrated. It increases your sight reading ability incredibly and it turns your weak hand into a tool that can perform just as well as your main hand. Something that most drummers of today don’t have is all 4 limbs to do exactly what you want them to. Really challenging stuff but it pays off.

Totally agree! As an old student of Gary's back in the early 80's, that book transformed my playing and my thinking. Just take a broken 16th pattern played with either RH lead or LH lead ) the lines are not that different than Stick Control when you think about it), while doing that read a line playing it on bass drum and keep the hat going on quarters, or upbeats or playing every 16th note rest the bass drum doesn't play (that's in Gary's New Breed II book under Sock Talks!). You want linear hand development, it's there. You want coordination work? It's there. Reading? Time building with singing lines or pulse? All there. I used to spend a week of 6 hours a day just going beat by beat, measure by measure til I could read the entire pages down cold. Then I would tape them and send them up to Gary. Those years were some of the best of my life!

Funky Primer is a good one too

I miss this guy....We both studied with Jim Chapin....First time I met Dom.....RIP,my friend.

I would suggest to exchange two of these recommanded books with more up-to-date versions, quasi the 2.0 upgrades: 1. John Rileys "The Art of Bop Drumming" instead of "Advanced Techniques for the modern Drummer..." and 2. Joe Morellos "Master Studies (1+2)" instead of "Accents and Rebounds".

Carlos Cleriga Exactly! Thanks

Nice collection of "must-have" drum books, but what about the "Patterns" series from Gary Chaffee and the Dahlgren/Fine book for example? For European drummers I highly recommend the books of French author/teacher Dante Agostini. Using his books with an authorized "Agostini" teacher will teach you everything you need to learn about drumming in various styles! Unfortunately each of his books cover only a certain aspect., so you need a teacher who knows the complete method to guide you thru this wealth of material. Once you're through with these books you won't hardly need any more books. After Mr. Agostini's dead, his method is further developed and the addional books like "System Drums Pt2" are a challenge for every drummer, even if you're very experienced! There are a trillion of great drum books/methods but only a few of them offer "concepts" you can use to devolope your own style. David Garibaldi's book is also worth mentioning! I'm playing and teaching for many years and the older I get the more I like books like the "Patterns" and >David Garibaldi book, because this books are beyond technique, and might open the drummers mind for new/fresh input and ideas! For the basics I use the Agostini books in my teaching, but for advanced studends I use a variety of books from Gary Chester, Gary Chaffee and others! Thanks to the internet, the amount of valuable/mentionable books/methods/articles/ideas available becomes endless! KEEP ON DRUMMING AND HAVE FUN! Greetings from Germany

I have all my 40 books since 1965. Love Rubank, Paul Yoker, except, he didn't put in the (e) for: 1e&a2e&a. Have Reed's and Stick Control, again, 1965. Still playing at 70.

These are the classics (though I'd never heard of New Breed). I studied with Jim Chapin in the early 70's and Alan Dawson in the early 80's and have played for over 50 years. I would add Gary Chaffee's Patterns. It's unique and practical. There is a book (The Drummer's Complete Vocabulary As Taught by Alan Dawson) on his teaching method which adapts Stick Control and Syncopation in remarkable ways. You may need a teacher to help. I've adapted his methods to teaching even beginners. Dig into these first rather than leap around to lesser method books (IMHO) I worked for years with Chapin's remarkable ADVANCED TECHNIQUES VOL 2. which is hard to find. It's got a plastic overlay and removable pages in a giant spiral loose-leaf book. Avoid the frustratingly non-musical 4-Way Coordination: A Method Book.

The important thing is to know what to do with those books and how to make your practise musical. For that you need a really good teacher. If you just go through those books without further knowledge you haven't learned one thing about musical styles, sound, dynamics, motion, expression, coordination between limbs.. Yes, the concepts in those books get used by all good drummers but they are not bound to these particular books, they existed before and have developed further since.. Besides Jim Chapin writes swing in 16th notes and triplets for the other limbs, that's VERY misleading!

Claudio Wiesflecker Jim noticed one the early bop players that many times they played the jazz ride with an edge so he put the 16th ride in his book to explain that sharper feel with the jazz ride. Remember this was written in 1948. So he wanted the snare to play in 16th also, but because of the printing challenges he wrote it together. Meaning play it both ways. When ride is in 16 play left in 16. When snare is in triplets play ride in triplets. Play both ways...it was difficult to show both ways. Good luck.
