Welcome to Lesson One!

The exercises in this lesson will take you through ten common sticking patterns, first made popular in George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control for the Snare Drummer. The goal is to produce a perfect rebound stroke on both hands and to make each and every stroke sound exactly the same!

Once you have those exercises perfected, you'll learn some essential musical terms that you'll need to know before learning to READ MUSIC!
