A valuable addition to any drummer's library
Think of this book as "Stick Control" for the feet. It's more than just speed and endurance exercises for the bass drum, although that is part of it. There are also many exercises that alternate between the hands and feet. These help develop hand/foot separation and coordination, and they have inspired me to incorporate the kick drum into fills more often. There is also a neat section that incorporates the bass drum into the rudiments. I am a single pedal player, but the exercises can be easily adapted for double bass. Just alternate the kick beats wherever you wish. I've been practicing the exercises for just about a week, and already I've seen improvement. I wish I had gotten this book years ago. Highly recommended.
