Stick Control: A Timeless Drum Book


Dom Famularo demonstrates exercises from Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone. The book was first published in 1935 and is still one of the most important books for developing hand technique. It had a major influence on the way drummers developed, and therefore on music itself.

G. L. Stone’s students included world-famous musicians such as Joe Morello and Vic Firth. As usual, Dom Famularo recommends practicing the material not only with the hands, but also with the feet: one minute per exercise, one page per week, every day.
