Master Studies

Summary: A lot of material
Review: I don't think that this book is very useful without a teacher. An enormous amount of exercises are presented to improve speed, endurance and control, but there is no logical sequence (as the author himself states). The problem is that one has to evaluate his own weaknesses to understand which kind of exercise he's really in need of. Frankly, I find those exercises a bit boring. Morello's previous work, "Rudimental Jazz" (no longer available apparently) is much better.

Summary: Great drummer
Review: Joe Morello is a great drummer but IMHO this book is a bit hard to follow compared to any Ted Reed book or Jim Chapin book. I like the book , it's just that the other authors are easy to learn from and follow on a daily basis....just my opinion. Joe is a great drummer and teacher! Also check out Ted Reed's book for the bass drum and drum solos. Chapin's 'Advanced Techniques For The Modern Drummer ' is a classic that I use with my students also. Better layouts than 'Master Studies'.
