Mike has agreed to allow the Q-Bible to be passed from user to user on this website and this website only.

Please refer to this post for information on how to open the file.

Just got finished reading the q-bible and wow, great stuff but what happened to the diagrams and the section about stopping the stick? did he finish those parts?

Ahh!!! Mike Stevens is the man!!! He taught me for 2 years!!!

Mike teaches across the district from our school
This insane piece of percussive literature belongs in everyones library. Regardless of if you play tenors or not, theres a lot of stuff in there that applies to everything.

oh man, that was incredible

I'm in awe.

Ahh Mike Stevens... he taught the line I was in for 2 years! Wooo! Acadiana High! HAHA! ...What a character

I have been trying to download this, I have copied the security file that mentioned for my version of Acrobat, but it keeps telling me I don't have access rights. Thanks for any help you can offer, algaewiz...

i am having the same problem.

There appears to be a problem with the file. I am looking into it and will get back to everyone when I have fixed it.

This could have been dealt with sooner, but no one brought it to my attention until just now. This is why I repeatedly tell people to keep support in PMs and/or email.

oops.

I have fixed the file and have attached it to the first post.

WOW..i'm speechless haha.

That was awsome!

I love the bible it's one of the best things i have read for tenors and all around drumming.I am going to explain this to my quad line and hopefully this will enlighten them.
Thanks alot a lot!

That is really awesome. It probably would be better with the pictures, but it's still great without them.

That book was a real help. thakns Thanks.

It explains everything to help me get 1,000% better! ! ! Thanks!

What a wonderful piece of literature. Thank you for bringing this into my life.

Incredible, and obviously human. Note the typos. Amazing information.

Great for anyone who wants to be a good tenor player, I'd recomend this to any tenor that asks for a guide on how to play.

it wont let me read it. something about a password...:(

Read the first paragraph.

i did the pass word thing and all, but im getting the encryption rights message on every attachment for some reason

great ideas, i loved it
but no diagrams

Great material...useful not just to tenor players but any drummer. Thanks for sharing.

It doesn't let me read it... it keeps giving me something about encryption authorization.

Aye, I can't open it either. You do not have access rights to this encrypted document. Thats what it says.

...but I think I've solved why. At least in my case, I probably can't open it due to my rank (oh well). That's okay, though. I've got plenty of tenor stuff anyway.

I don't know why you can't, BigMacSnare123.

He is a great teacher. Everything he writes is fantastic stuff.

Dude.

The section about interpretation?

Solid.

Gold.

Curious how do we get our hands on this good read?

Mike

It's in an attachment on the first page. You have to have the encryption key from the DLO website before you can view it.

;P

"He who study q-bible attain drum mastery."
Haha, wow, this is amazing - I read all of it. Kudos to him.

dude i feel so blessed right now. Mike Stevens lives about 15 miles from me. Murray Gusseck and Jim Cassela were both living in Vacouver, Washington. Murray even taught Evergreen Highschool last year. Alan Keowan lives in Eugene. Not to mention other names like Jeff Bush... I live pretty close to marching heaven. : P

Great piece of literature, our drum instructor read excerpts of it to us, but i never had a chance to read the whole thing before now.

this is a GREAT piece of knowledge, very influential. I love the section about the head. We hear and read a lot of things on interp, control, timing, etc. etc. That stuff is all very important but rarely do we get taught how to think. That is just as if not more important than how we play.
