Thanks for taking George L Stone's 1935 basic stickings and conceptualizing them on the drum set providing the students of drumming with many so-called "thinking outside of the box" options. The majority would not be this creative with a single sticking and you have wired many of the possibilities.
I wish someone would take stick control and cover the entire book with a video to go along with it for people like me. Meaning, I can read music at a beginner level, maybe intermediate sometime, but there are several lessons in the book stick control where I’m not 100% if I’m even playing it correctly. I want to do the lessons like George told us to, doing each exercise 20 times. I do know at 20 times each that 960 measures just on the first page alone! I can’t imagine where I’d be if I could do ALL exercises that way!!
Stone’s Stick Control is a masterpiece and here we see why: It is infinitely adaptable. In this lesson he shows ways to use a single SC exercise in at least four different styles of music often with variation. Consider that there are 72 exercises on the first three pages of the book alone and you quickly see how limitless the possibilities are. Much like Ted Reed’s Syncopation, you can spend a lifetime working on exercises for any technique you could possibly wish to develop. Be creative and the sky’s the limit.
