Sticking Patterns (with CD) [Paperback]

Gary Chaffee (Author)

Book Description

Series: Patterns | Publication Date: April 26, 1994

Patterns is one of the most comprehensive drum methods available. Covering a wide range of materials, the books can be used in any order, or in any combination with one another. They are a must for developing the kinds of skills necessary for drum set performance.

In Sticking Patterns, Gary's unique approach to the use of stickings on the set is explored. Completely different from the rudiments, Gary's system is designed specifically for drumset performance, both for creating time feels as well as for filling and soloing. Also included are sections on accented single stokes, as well as the use of double strokes on the set.

Great book. The material in the book is presented in a very straight forward manner and the cd included really helps "visualize" how the exercises are supposed to sound. This is not a beginners book. But once you get to the level where you can read the rhythms the material is highly valuable and versatile. It will change the way you think and hear the instrument. I think its particularly useful for jazz. But anybody can benefit from it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Patterns n more Patterns...yay!, March 18, 2011

This is one of those books that I've been coming back to for years, much like Ted Reed's Syncopation. If you're idea of sticking patterns is limited to alternate strokes or paradiddles, this book will completely change the way you approach sticking for timekeeping, fills and soloing.

I particularly enjoy the compound stickings and broken double strokes.

One of my top 5 drum books.
