Steph only plays SABIAN Cymbals. This allows him to dynamically build a drum solo or groove through the full range of playing, from very soft to very loud. His full cymbal setup gives the total orchestral control of sound he needs to go from a tiny splash to a roaring Ride or Crash. This opens the range of expression to go anywhere.

Drumset Duets
By Dom Famularo with Stephane Chamberland
Wizdom Media, distributed by Alfred Publishing
Drumset Duets is the perfect way to make music with another drummer! Containing 100 different 2-bar duets, the book is perfect for teachers to use with students, and for friends to play with each other. Each duet consists of a 2-bar “A” pattern to be played by the first drummer, and a complementary 2-bar “B” pattern to be played by the second drummer—and all the patterns have been designed by Dom Famularo and Stephane Chamberland to sound like one great unison groove when played together. The accompanying MP3 disc contains both “A” and “B” grooves recorded individually, so that you can practice along with either part, as well as a recorded example of both grooves together. With Drumset Duets, you can develop your groove and start playing cool, musical grooves with your teacher, students, and friends!

The Weaker Side
By Dom Famularo and Stephane Chamberland
Wizdom Media, distributed by Alfred Publishing
This book addresses the age-old challenge faced by every drummer: how to get the weaker hand and foot closer in skill and dexterity to the stronger side. Using a comprehensive step-by-step set of rhythms, this 52-page book is designed to be practiced one page per week, giving an intensive one-year training session to strengthen the weaker side. The stickings and notation are designed to allow easy use by both right-handed and left-handed drummers. Broken triplet and 16th-note patterns, as well as flam patterns, are utilized in the exercises. The Weaker Side will help you take your technique to the next level!
