Advanced Sticking And Sight-Reading by the author of Different Drummers

[Roberta Piket]

Advanced Sticking and Sightreading, by the author of Different Drummers, is
now available.
Part I of Advanced Sticking And Sight-Reading is 110 pages of
right-hand/left-hand sticking patterns with accents, some of which
incorporate the right foot and left foot. The right foot and left foot can
also be substituted for the hand stickings.
Part II consists of 146 pages of sight-reading in cut-time, 4-4 time,
3-4, 5-4, 3-8, 5-8, 7-16, 9-16, etc. with some super-impositions. Whole
notes, half notes, quarter notes, eight notes, and sixteenths notes make up
the syncopations, which also include some right-foot and left-foot.
Note: All the exercises in this book were originally hand-written by
the author.

Hi Roberta,

These are the types of excercises I might be interested in so I went to
the website and looked at the sample page from this book. I won't be
purchasing it. For $38 a pop, you would think that somebody might put
in the effort to be a little neat. If I had turned in similarly messy
notation to my highschool music theory class, the teacher would have
taken points off.

I have nothing against handwritten notation. Some of the best classic
drum books are handwritten. However, I am turned off by excercises
that look like they have been written on the back of a napkin. If you
are going to publish, be proud of your work.

I have to agree. The second I saw the sample with the sloppy handwriting
I stopped considering buying this book. These kinds of exercises can
easily be notated neatly in Finale or another music notation program (or
handwritten, yes, but only if you have neat, well balanced and precise
handwriting). It's a shame because the content might be quite good.
