Things to consider
Start with Stick Control or Stone Rudiments if you're establishing fundamentals; both build coordination and consistency. Accents and Rebounds works well as a follow-up to reinforce control and rebound technique. These books work best as ongoing references alongside daily practice, not as quick reads, so choose the format that fits your practice space: physical book for studio work, PDF for portability or screen-based learning.
