Description:
George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control is the original classic, often called the bible of drumming. In 1993, Modern Drummer magazine named the book one of the top 25 books of all-time. In the words of the author, it is the ideal book for improving "control, speed, flexibility, touch, rhythm, lightness, delicacy, power, endurance, preciseness of execution and muscular coordination," with extra attention given to the development of the weak hand. This indispensable book for drummers of all types includes hundreds of basic to advanced-level rhythms, moving through categories of single-beat combinations, triplets, short roll combinations, flam beats, flam triplets and dotted notes, and short roll progressions.

• Use the Elements to create more variety in your drum fills.
• Be able to recognize and execute any given ensemble figure encountered on a chart.

Also included is an MP3/data disc jam-packed with music to assist you in learning how to apply the Elements.

Description:
John Favicchia's critically acclaimed CD release. With special guests Steve Khan, Chieli Minucci, Harvie Swartz, Dean Brown, David Mann, Philip Hamilton, Jeff Haynes and many others. "I've heard two cuts in anticipation of John Favicchia's upcoming Dharma release, and both are absolutely top-notch melodically, rhythmically and improvisationally. A great drummer, he keeps growing as a producer and this project will no doubt appeal to fusionheads and smooth jazz fans alike. I picked his previous CD one of the year's ten best, and I'm excited to hear more." -- Jonathan Widran-JAZZIZ
