TonyLa,
Welcome!
Mco's suggestions are great. You'll be in good shape starting with those books.
I am a big proponent of finding a good teacher. There are some things about feel, technique, musicality and even rhythms that you just can't get from a book or video. If a deep understanding is what you're after, there's no substitute for a good teacher.
Enjoy getting those chops back. Enjoy the new drums. By the way, what kind of drums did you pick up?
