In The Drum: A History, drummer, instructor, and blogger Matt Dean
details the earliest evidence of the drum from all regions of the
planet, looking at cave paintings, statues, temple reliefs, and
burial remains before finding existing relics of actual drums,
which have survived thousands of years. Highlighting the different
uses and customs associated with drumming, Dean examines how the
drum developed across many cultures and over thousands of years
before they became the instruments we know today. A celebration of
this remarkable instrument, The Drum: A History explores how war,
politics, trade routes, and religion have influenced the drum.
Bringing its history to the present, Dean considers the modern
cultural and commercial face of the drum, detailing its role in
military settings and the development of the "modern drum kit."
This study charts the evolution of the recording studio
environment, as well as specific analysis of the development of
drum heads, sticks, and the often overlooked role of women on the
drum kit. In addition, there is a look at the continuing evolution
of the drum and its role through surveys of main manufacturers and
the increased dependence on electronic drums, sampling machines,
and drum recorders. As the first book to detail the entire
development of the drum, The Drum: A History will appeal to every
drummer, regardless of genre or style, as well as any reader with a
general interest in the evolution of this universal instrument.
