Jeff queen's "the next level" worked for me... I like it because it's not just a book with a bunch of solos in it, it actually breaks down everything you need to know.

For any battery instrument, the logic series by bill bachman is a great book. You could also try the rudimental cookbook or Multi-tenor solos and techniques by rowloff productions. For the whole percussion/battery section you could try upfront and upfront etudes by tapspace publications. Also by rowloff for the whole section, you could try field level.

Also there are snugglebunny of websites that sell individual exercises. (one site that comes to mind is http://www.scottjohnsondrums.com) You might also try the blue devils book of drumming.

I hope i have answered your question adequately enough.

I doubt that I will ever stop hyping up The drummers rudimental reference book by John Wooton. That dude compiled thousands of exercises to work your butt off.
you can get it at rowloff.com

If you don't already have it, I would recommend George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control for the Snare Drummer. It has hundreds of patterns to play and instructions on how to get the most out of practicing them; endurance and control are the focus.

Stick Control for the Snare drummer by George Stone
the Next Level by Jeff Queen

there are some independence books by Jim Chapin that I've never gotten the chance to try, it's not rudimental but EVERY drummer should set aside some time to work on independence

I own a copy of Stick Control, and just today I picked of a copy of Bill Bachman's Rudimental Logic.

They are both really good books to have, but right now I'm liking Rudimental Logic better because it explains things better and has many more examples and exercises and also includes hybrid rudiments, inverted rudiments, and inverted hybrid rudiments.
