George Lawrence Stone's, Stick Control for the Snare Drummer (1935), is a staple text for any serious drummer.  The book goes through many aspects of drumming - muscle and nerve development, speed, control, dynamics, subtlety, even development of both hands, and exact execution of strokes.  It also develops the drummers understanding of single, flam, triplets and dotted notes.  From West London Drum Tutor, drum tuition in Harrow, London http://paltip.com/westlondonenglish/!51i0
