AlfredSticking Patterns (Book/Online Audio)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Drum book on sticking patterns with online audio. For drummers working on hand technique and vocabulary away from the kit or on a pad.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Practice-pad work on hand independence and consistency
- Drummers whose fills always fall into the same patterns
- Structured daily practice with a set list of exercises
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners who have not learned to hold sticks and read basic notation
- Drummers wanting groove and song material rather than technique drills
- Anyone with no internet access for the audio component
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Online audio, not a CD
You stream or download using a code in the book. No disc drive needed, but you need the code and a connection.
Detail 03
Book format with notation
You need to read drum notation to use it. There is no video demonstrating the motions.
Detail 04
Pad-friendly material
Most of it works on a practice pad, so you can put in reps quietly without setting up a kit.
Detail 05
$26.99
Technique-book pricing. It is a long-term practice resource, not something you finish in a week.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need a full kit to use this?
No. Sticking material is designed for a practice pad, though applying the patterns around a kit is the eventual goal.
02How do I get the audio?
The book includes online access rather than a CD. Follow the instructions printed inside to stream or download the tracks.
03Do I need to read drum notation?
Yes. The exercises are written out, so basic rhythmic reading is required to work through them.
04Is this for beginners?
It suits drummers who already hold sticks correctly and read simple rhythms. Complete beginners should start with a method book first.
