The guys are right, you can't go wrong with Stick Control also Syncopation by Ted Reed. I have 2 books for basic independence published through Mel Bay, Studies in Drumset Independence Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.

I would have to say Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone. This book was first published in 1935 and has been a MUST HAVE ever since. You can find it online or in just about any music store that sells books. Anyone who's anyone has read this book. 4-Way Coordination: A Method Book for the Development of Complete Independence on the Drum Set written by Marvin Dahlgren and Elliot Fin is another good one.

I'm not that in to books but the ones I have found beneficial are Studio Drumming/Steve Houghton, and all of John Riley's books.

Dave,

I hope you will consider my book, Drumscapes, which I have designed over the past 10 years to be suitable for beginners and intermediates.

For a review of the book, you can visit http://www.drummercafe.com/content/view/202/29/.

I just got a publishing deal through Cherry Lane/Hal Leonard to transform the one book into a separate beginner's and intermediate's book. Because of that fact (and the fact that I still have remaining copies of the original Drumscapes, the book is now on sale at $19.95, which includes 2 CD's. You can get it through amazon.com.

The updated books will be called Drumcraft and should be available later this year or early next.

Thanks, Andy.  I'll take a look.  I hang at DrummerCafe as well as here - not sure how I missed the review of your book.
