You might enjoy working with the Lew Gillis 20 Etudes for Bass Trombone (Southern)
I would recommend these more for your range development than for being technically difficult or considered serious music, BUT--Your high chops will benefit from a wide range (from below the staff to about G above) without focusing on one area. The range issues are in effect reversed, and the slide/valve work is zero for us. The studies are a little light musically, but fun, and there are only a few instructions for style and virtually no dynamic marks, so it is up to you to make all the interpretive decisions and make the most out of the ink. That is the best part.
