5.0 out of 5 stars
A valuable addition to any drummer's library,
By Brennan (Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bass Drum Control (Paperback)
Think of this book as "Stick Control" for the feet. It's more than just speed and endurance exercises for the bass drum, although that is part of it. There are also many exercises that alternate between the hands and feet. These help develop hand/foot separation and coordination, and they have inspired me to incorporate the kick drum into fills more often. There is also a neat section that incorporates the bass drum into the rudiments. I am a single pedal player, but the exercises can be easily adapted for double bass. Just alternate the kick beats wherever you wish. I've been practicing the exercises for just about a week, and already I've seen improvement. I wish I had gotten this book years ago. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Bass Drum Control (Paperback)
Great book, I joke to my students saying the guy looks like such a dork but listen to this cd.... they listen to some of the endurance exercises and his solo and are totally blown away. Going to take a look at "The Encyclopedia of Double Bass Drumming" by
Bobby Rondinelli, Michael Lauren next. That seems very good too. For double bass I suggest, Double Bass Drumming [Paperback] by Joe Franco. It's the red book, very cheap and has been the standard (even since I was a student) And obviously, 4-Way Coordination: A Method Book for the Development of Complete Independence on the Drum Set (just sub the hi-hat left foot for the double bass) It's a bit dry so be careful giving to young or/and immature students, recommended for 7-8th grade and up at least. All of these 4 books are pretty much all one aspiring drummer would need from beginner, to college level, for FEET techniques. Also suggest doing stick control with feet subbing! Good luck!
