Stick Control for the Snare Drummer by George Lawrence Stone is the original classic, often called the bible of drumming. In 1993, Modern Drummer magazine famously named the book one of the top 25 drum method books of all-time. It remains an indispensable foundational text for drummers of all types and skill levels.

I am not sure if the ink has a strong smell or what, but this arrived in perfect condition aside from that. The best customer service around. We received these quickly and they were exactly what our child needed for band class. This is our first experience with Steve Weiss and we will never shop elsewhere.
If you love repetition while practicing snare, then this book is perfect. I would recommend to anyone looking to develop their snare hands.
