 INTRODUCTION
The ability to move swiftly around the drumset with speed, control, and accuracy is an extremely
important asset for today' s drummer. Drumset Control offers a progressive series of exercises designed
to help you attain a substantial level of technical facility on the kit.
The format for Drumset Control is simple and direct. The book begins with basic triplet patterns
around the drums, followed by 16th notes, 16th-note triplets, and 32nd notes. Each section is further
divided into groupings, beginning with one grouping of each note value and progressing to tour con-
secutive groupings.
A selection of sticking patterns is applied, and these offer a wealth of possibilities for moving around
the drumkit. Examples of two-bar patterns and fill-ins are also included.

lo AchieveThe Best Results ...

1) Be sure to play each exercise precisely as written, with careful focus on stickings.
2) Make certain you're comfortable with the stickings that appear above each series of patterns before
attempting to play the exercises. '. ~-
3) Practice each pattern slowly at first, until movement from drum to drum is smooth and flowing.
4) Repeat each exercise at least ten times before moving on. Do not move to the next pattern until the
previous one has been mastered.
5) Make an effort to get your eyes out ot the book as soon as possible. Focus on the movement around
J the drums and the teel of each pattern.
6) Eventually work all exercises up to top speed. Use a metronome or drum machine to gauge your
progress.
7) Play the bass drum on 1, 2, 3, and 4 of every measure.
8) Play the hi-hat: a) on 2 and 4, b) using quarter notes, c) using 8th notes.
9) Be sure tomaster the one-bar exercises before attempting the two-bar patterns and fill-ins.

-;J,
For an additional challenge ...
;::
:"'1 10) Play through an entire page without stopping, working each pattern four times, then twice, then
once. Start slowly and increase the tempo as your faCility improves.
11) Certain patterns in this book lend themselves well to bass drum development. Try the following: a)
substitute the bass drum for all snare drum notes, b) substitute the bass drum for al! tom-tom notes.
Maintain the specified stickings when using bass drum substitutions.

The following abbreviations are used throughout:

SD = Snare Drum
RRT = Right Rack Tom
LRT = Left Rack Tom
LTT= Large Tom Tom
HH= Hi-Hat
RC= Ride Cymbal
SD = Bass Drum

 Triplet Fills
Each of the one-barfills below are preceded by three bars of the jazz time beat. Be sure to strive for a smooth and even
time flow as you move from the time pattern into, and out of the fill bar. Also practice the exercises at varied tempos and
dynamics. (* Note that the final cymbal note on the "ah" of 4 should be omitted during the third repeat of the time pattern.)

 16th-Note Fills
Each of the one-bar fills below are preceded by three bars of an 8th-note rack pattern. Here again, focus on achieving a
smooth, even time flow as you move fram the rack beat into and out of the fill bar. Also practice the exercises at varied
tempos and dynamics.
