Unfortunately, the book is long out of print. To boot, only 3 copies exist in the world's libraries. Well, a very kind soul in Australia borrowed a copy from a library there, scanned it and made a PDF out of it.

He happened to be so nice to send me a copy. It's a wonderful book, and if you'd like a copy, please click here, where you can download a zipped archive of the PDF.

Enjoy!

  Hi Todd, I recently downloaded the Dave Tough book, and just wanted to thank you for making it freely available to the wider drumming community. I too have been trying to find a copy of it for many years, having seen a copy a friend had, that was a gift from the late,great Jim Chapin ! The exercises are to this day very 'hip' and not only do they give your hands a good workout - there are endless possibilities for creative applications on the kit. Thanks again for a classic book.

  Todd,
  I thank you from the botton of my heart for the pdf of Dave Toughs book - I am in Cape Town South Africa and have been searching for about 11 years for a copy of this book. Please be so kind and forward my thanks to the fellow drummer in Australia for me if you can. Wow this really is unbelievable.
