Description:

I recommend this book to every percussionist (yes, really!). The techniques addressed are foundational and the exercises are progressive. There is something in this book for everyone. As the late, great Robin Engelman used to say, ‘Flams, ruffs, and rolls. Every day in every way.’

—Justin Bunting
