Stick Technique v2.0: the Essential Guide for the Modern Drummer is partially culled from Bill Bachman’s popular “Strictly Technique” articles in Modern Drummer magazine, this book focuses on the techniques and key hand motions which will help players develop hands that are loose, stress free and ready to play anything that comes to mind.
The book is for everyone who plays with sticks regardless of whether you’re focusing primarily on drumset orchestral percussion or the rudimental style of drumming. Divided into three main sections – Technique, Top Twelve Rudiments and Chops Builders – the book is designed to get you playing essential techniques correctly and as quickly as possible. Also includes a bonus section for two-hand coordination and independence.
