4-way coordination by Marvin Dahlgreen and Elliot Fine.Really good for self-taught players.The books aim is for the student to achieve 4-way independence whilst instilling a real sense of melodic/harmonic function for grooves and solos,it has extensive exercises for each and bunch of other things.It's verry good.
1. Realistic Rock
2. New Breed
3. Four-Way Coordination
5. Advanced Techniques for The Modern Drummer
I have many more too...
I like what Henry Miller said: you only need to read two books, but you have to compare and contrast them in every possible way. It's not exactly, or always true, but it made me realize that the point is to get some little thing from each of these books, not just to finish them, then to use your own creativity to make a new thing from all of the bits and pieces. that's how you become your own player.
Anyway, love your channel!
whats number 4?
The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley. An essential for anyone who is interested in playing jazz.
I'mma have to look that one up.
I just got that one on my professor's recommendation.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
As a marching snare drummer and a jazz drummer. I HIGHLY suggest
1: Stick Control
2: John Riley Art of Bop drumming
3:Syncopation
Thanks for the video, Stephen. My 3 favourites are: 1) Gary Chaffee - Time Functioning Patterns. 2) Gary Chester - New Breed. 3) Fred Dinkins - It's About Time
Hey, Stephen! I have these books, but as a drummer that's just learning to read i find it difficult to work through them, any advice? Maybe post a video on how we can use the rhythms in our playing? Thanks!
yeah I second this! the only book I own of these three is stick control... but I'm not really sure how to use it.
I think practicing it over time makes it naturally apear in playing.
Hi, Stephen..its a pleasure for me to see and study your videos and thank you for that...i want to make a question...and i would very happy if i could have an answer from you...for you as a teacher can you please make a quick list of how a begginer student have to start properly in drums in a proper order until he becomes expert?....suppose lets say that a student must do first this...then that...you get my point? ... i mean something like this-->>> 1.learn the drum notation 2.learn sticking control-finger control 3.ruddiments and so on and so on...i want to say by that,that no teacher ever gave me the opportunity to uderstand the proper way to learn drumming technic properly..like i want to ...i want to play and understand the way why i do this and then why the next step is to make that...and so on...i live in greece and really love your lessons...with love!!!! josef
Paul Capozzoli's Around the drums with open rolls,An A Funky Primer By Charles Dowd These books have helped me a ton! I am going to look into these one's you suggested! Thank you man!
I study out of Syncopation and Stick Control. It's what I've had for about 10 years now. Great books.
There are 4 books I use everyday when i'm teaching; ultimate realistic rock (carmine appice) mini monster book of rock drumming (joel rothman) linear drumming and groove freedom (mike johnston). Honourable mention goes to time functioning patterns (gary chaffee). Definitely think you need a teacher to take you through stick control and syncopation.
I've seen Carmine's book and it looks like a good one. The thing that kept me from getting it is the lack of a setup for double bass. I'm rocking an electronic set as I live in an apartment.
Could not agree more on the first two! I pick up New Breed every now and then but it mostly keeps the shelf warm. A really fun book is Terry O'Mahoney's "Jazz Drumming Transitions". It mostly covers transitioning from any given style to a traditional swing feel. Obviously a jazz oriented book but there of tons of great play alongs, and the book helped me jump a lot of hurdles. I will say the last 7 (or so) charts at the end of the book, once you've "mastered" all the concepts, have pretty squirrely time. This could be me having bad time, but this is one of few examples that I have trouble with. Great video! Love your content!
The language of Drumming:Benny Greb
Rhythm Knowledge: Mike Mangini
Yes to all 3 of these! Other good ones are Realistic Rock by Carmine Appice (for beginners) and Future Sounds by Dave Garibaldi. I just put the latter back into my rotation. And if you want to give yourself a headache. Mitchell Peters Advanced Snare Drum Studies. My old drum teacher gave this one to me in my late teens. I still have nightmares about it, heheh.
Realistic Rock for Beginners ? I‘m Not sure about that cause no explanation for Hand or Foottechnics ..And no Fills for Beginners … Carmine ‚s Book is great , but i think its better for Advanced
Finished my week of listening to John Coltrane. It took me a couple listens to get into the music but I'm really starting to like him. I found that I studied a lot better when listening to him instead of Snarky Puppy, Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age. I also didn't enjoy 'A Love Supreme' as much as I'd hoped, it got a bit too strange for me at the end. It's preferred 'Giant Steps' because it seemed much more regular. This might start becoming a regular thing. Deciding to jump into some latin for a week, any suggestions of artists I should listen to?
Patrick Bourke A Love Supreme would be a bit advanced if you don't listen to jazz. Better to start with Blue Train, Giant Steps, and My Favorite Things. The earlier stuff, not the later.
Try Tito Puente. If you've never listened to any of that style, he's a great starting point.
Patrick Bourke Come back to A Love Supreme once you've progressed a bit more with jazz. It took me a while to get into, but once it clicked for me I was almost moved to tears. Simply one of the most beautiful, reverent and artistic expressions ever produced.
Tito Puente is an absolute must if you're getting into Latin American music. Also, Machito & his Afro-Cubans is a good place to start as well. Many people will suggest Santana and you can listen to Santana if you want 'cuz the Latin drumming/percussion greats have gone through the ranks of Santana but Santana's more like rock with a Latin flavor, according to percussionist Michael Spiro, who was formerly in Santana at one point.
Woah, I just time warped back to the eighties! Among many others, I've got these three and they are indeed great books. Good choices.
Smoothest product placement i've seen in a while. Great tips Stephen, as usual ;)
Hello, this is a great video. I have a small request... I have all three of these books so It would be amazing if you could make a video showing how you go about studying from these books and how to get the most benefit from them. I have heard that there are many ways to use the books. Could you show us how?
I'll see what I can do Sammy
stick control,benny greb language of drumming,linear drumming by mike johnston
Awesome topic! And three great books. Here's three more: Podemski, Wilcoxon, & Morello's Master Studies. Thanks for creating and posting.
I already own two of those. They are so helpful!
Stick control, syncopation and time functioning patterns by gary chaffee, definitely.
Chaffee's whole series has had a place on my shelf since age 15. One of them almost made this list lol. Such a deep series of books.
Alan Dawsons book is called 'The Drummer's Complete Vocabulary as Taught by Alan Dawson' and has a tonne of ways to use the Ted Reed Syncopation book. Have to admit I find a lot of them difficult to understand though.
fuzzylogiceire Yea, it helps to have someone demonstrate them. I'm in the middle of a lesson series for my students actually. Using the Dawson method to build your jazz vocabulary.
I agree with all three but would also add buddy rich's modern interpretation of snare drum rudiments. my teacher told me that there is nothing that these books can't teach you.
Get the Drummer's Bible by Mike Berry and Jason Gianni.
It has every style and variation of that style that you would need to play on any gig.
You could play a Jewish wedding gig, and then a Acid Jazz gig back to back just by reading this book.
Haskel Harr? That should absolutely be on here. That and Syncopation were the two I learned with for the first year and a half or so.
Absolutely agree with Haskell Harr, both Book 1 and 2. Good call!
Already have all 3 :)
Hey great presentation. I completely agree with these books. But you should check any of the Joel Rothman books. Particularly two books of his namely, the Mini Monster book of Drumming and Paradiddle Power, I learned alot from these books...
I just ordered the first two books. Thanks for your advice :-)
instrumentenfreak You'll love them. Be sure and look up various applications for these two books that different teachers and players use. If you get them and need some directional help, you can find the email for the studio on the website.
All the aforementioned books are a definite must especially for a beginning drummer. But, it is more about what do you want to do as a drummer that matters. If all you want to do is play blast beats then you do not really need all these books, or if you only want to play basic rock or pop. As for me I like to be as well rounded as possible because yes we all play for the love of drums, but playing with friends or jamming alone will not pay the bills. So, if a gig comes around and I cannot play jazz or read a simple chart then I just lost out money. The Featured Drummer by Terry Silverlight is a great book for learning polyrhythms. It also breaks down into different styles and how to use polyrhythms within that style. It also has an opening section to each style where it just develops the hand coordination and nothing else. Another great book that is not essentially a drum book but a rhythm study is Polyrhythms: The Musician's Guide by Peter Magadini. This book will really work your mind.
I cannot believe I forgot to mention Thomas Lang. Anything by him is great because it works all your limbs and if you play double bass his books and DVDs will kick the crap out of you.
Thank you for your suggested books on Polyrhythms. It is a subject I want to pursue in the future, but I really didn’t have a clue where to start.
Advanced Funk Studies should be on that list as well
Great pick!
Oh yeah, those three were staples at The Atlanta Institute of Music where I attended.
Matt Savage "Rudimental Workshop"!!
The Drummer's Cookbook by John Pickering
Agreed
I have my second copy.
My stick control copy is so bad I just decided to buy it on kindle
Ha! Bro, mine has gotten that bad again. I've got about 3 of them right now that I'm gonna have to buy again. Digital is the way to go!
What books would you recommend to an intermediate player? as well as these ones.
Should you first go through the New Breed or Syncopation? Or switch back and forth between both?
Really depends on what you're wanting to work on...jazz or pocket playing. I would start with the new breed. It's a much more self contained system
@@StephenTaylorDrums Thanks, Stephen!
These books are also my favourite ones !
Classics!
International Drum Rudiments!!
Thanks for the great tip! by the way, just want to ask, what's the model of your drum mics? And how many do you use? Thanks.
Dont forget the wilcoxon snare solos book!
That and the Cirone snare book gave me FITS back in the day.
100 essential drumset lessons
Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer
Advance Funk Drumming
100 essential drumset lessons is my favorite. It's supper fun but challenging. I would definitely look into it.
hi Steve.I'm going to sign up for your online drumming lessons, but please can you answer one quick question do you teach drum notation I've only got the basics down, and thank you for a response back I'm waiting for your answer before I actually pay up for your lesson I am grateful for your reply
Adrian Ashurst Yes, There is a 3 part series on reading music and basic notation.
thanks that is all i need I've your signup webpage already bookmarked, and i am really looking forward to your lesson, and advancing of course
***** can you please answer my one last question it's on your pedal tension video, and I can't thank you enough for your reply on behalf of my beginner 8-year-old son(My missus only allows him to watch drumming (mostly yours plus some Drumeo one's too)) or music vids since there's porn on youtube somewhere) I simply don't have the time to spare to teach him myself since I run my own rather large company, and my old teacher put me onto these exact three books, and others I've had to repurchase them many times since they fell apart from overuse they're a must have for any serious drummer.He's a huge fan of yours to be certain as am I and your videos are excellently presented to the point, and concise with no shortcuts since there aren't any.Exactly like your bass drum speed video.Obviously I'd use anything he learns if I find it's something I didn't already know
I’m adding Jim Chapin’s book to the list. Advanced techniques for the modern drummer.
Basic drumming Joel Rothman or any drum book by Joel Rothman
Chaffee's time functioning is a must imho
0:35 to 0:40 ... :D Nice.
Lol I didn't get it the first time, but once you get it you can't not hear it!
what I am working on right now Is independence, but i have no money. Is the third book really what im looking for?
Please search UA-cam for the following activists/teacher; minorandmajor and syncopation. Also, search Rob Brown and syncopation. They teach approaches to syncopation that develop independence for the drum set player. These lesson are based on Ted Reed's Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer. You can evaluate and see if Reed's book/ approach is suitable book choice for you. Good luck.
stephen do u use stick control the way it is supposed to be used? e.g play each sticking 20 times?
great question!
callum whitten yes it must be used that way to build control and endurance...this way will make learning new fills a lot easier
callum whitten I did when I first started out. At this point I use them as a creative "structure" to draw from and create off of in my practice time. It's a great warm up though, using it as it's "supposed" to be used.
I play each exercise 20 times. They first 10 times, I play at a normal volume, but the second 10 times, I play soft, at a very low volume. My opinion, if you can play it soft, as well as normal, or even loud, you are a better drummer. Too many drummers neglect dynamics.
Hi, I had a question, why these books do not use the clef neutral? :x
I don’t really know
Time functioning patterns, technique patterns, tommy igoe groove essentials.
Time functioning patterns = same concept as new breed accept it also includes jazz systems as well as linear drumming systems and ofcouse funk/rock. So new breed taken to the next level.
Technique Patterns = teaches endurance speed control and dynamics for hands and feet. Also teaches hand and foot combinations.
Tommy Igoe Groove Essentials = Teaches you the basics for every drum style.
The Breakbeat Bible, by Mike Adamo
Would these be considered as beginner's books?
Hey Richard...it depends on how you use them. But yes, I have used them with beginners
***** Thank you, I got the stick control one and that definitely starts at my level. I have the New Breed one on order. Thanks again.
What about Future Sounds?
Killer book
Stick Control, Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer
Great ones!
Jonah Evans stick control by Bachman? I been researching different books, do they teach you the strokes or just patterns.
I’m middle aged beginner come from guitar background and have my trusty pad and sticks hacking away.
Only problem with The New Breed is that it's a bitch to read if you play left-handed!
I always tell beginner students to check out Rhythmic Reading For Drummers by Conor Guilfoyle, it's great for teaching how to read from scratch as simply as possible. Shout out to The Breakbeat Bible and Advanced Funk Studies too for my own personal taste for learning grooves, but in terms of creativity it has to be Syncopation and Stick Control!
Adam McCarthy Do you mean lefty as in open handed? if so, yeah, I can see Chester being a bit of a pain, heheh.
I actually meant properly left-handed as in the kit switched around, but open-handers would have the same problem too I guess!
All are super. But I call The Ted Reed the Bible haha!
2:32 i thought that was a black dude on the cover.😂 Until I looked it up,
jojo mayers dvds
Couldn't agree more. They are all excellent resources.
Yep...for hands, and then feet - enough material to keep you busy for a while!
Noice!!!
Angel The Cretin Goddammit Grajeda noice!!!!
Protip: Dont say that the cover is falling of when it doesnt.
Also a pro tip...hold the cover ON so it doesn't fall off during the video you're filming. Email me at stephen@stephensdrumshed.com if you would like an actual picture of the cover falling off of the book. I didn't know that was something I needed to demonstrate or prove in this video. But totally happy to do that for you.
That makes sense. Atleast alot more than me getting hung up in ways of speaking, instead of the good content you provide. I might be strange that way, idunno, but I trust the credibility of people making understatements way more than the opposite. I say this because I think the general conception of a perfect youtube personality is a ever positive, full of energy, and in a way exaggerating, but personally feel othervise when it comes to niches like drums. If many people think the same as me, my opinion might be of some value.
Dont need a picture, but thanks anyway :)
Got the stick controll book today. It's great!
It's phenomenal. I hope it gives you many hours of trouble ;^)
I know it has for me
