Good resources for drum theory?

[Esperado]

Im looking to improve my percussion arrangements in my mixes (not necissarily just the drums). I feel i have an alright understanding of how variation works, but I would like to dig a little deeper into what makes up good percussion. It seems like theres plenty of stuff out there about music theory in terms of chords and melodies , but not as much about percussion.

Any good percussion related articles, blogs, books or other media? Any must-listen songs for drum arrangement?

Well, I dunno about resources, but I've known examples I loved when thinking about drum writing.
