This early work is an interesting read for any music enthusiast or historian, but it contains much information that is still useful and practical today. It contains comprehensive drum scores and encyclopaedic entries for diverse percussion instruments. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
