Just the Bass(ics), ma'am!
When it is time to learn to work that bass drum off the beat, then it is time to get this book!

Lombardo gives a number of two-bar patterns (many of which could easliy be called funk beats) involving bass, snare, hi-hat (on the 2 & 4) and ride. Below each pattern, he gives you the same two bars with just the ride and the bass, allowing you to focus on playing the bass off the eigth-note ride. the patterns become progressively harder, and your right foot become progressively better (and faster).

This was the 2nd "full kit" book I worked out of, and it did me wonders. If you are a beginner, it will do wonders for you as well!

rockin bass drum
excellent book, helps with independence and note reading along with alot of different beat patterns. The only thing that could make it better is if it came with a cd or dvd {althoughh not necessary} If you are just beginning this book should be in your library

Very good for the beginner
There's a lot of simple but interesting kick patterns here. Almost of them sound good so it's practical as well.
