"Hands of Steel" is my personal dedication to George Lawrence Stone, Joe Morello, Billy Gladstone, Sanford Moeller and Charlie Wilcoxin.
Less known and now sadly long out of print (to my knowledge) is a book based on paradiddle mixed stickings by Dave Tough; who is best known as one of the first call drummers of the big band era; his book is much less well known than those of the other great drummers I have mentioned here and it is because of this that I begin "Hands of Steel" with exercises in the style of this great big band drummer ...
... my way of trying to pass on the ideas of Dave Tough's book as I remember it .....
