Reviews

This book contains 64 pages of which 62 pages are advanced etudes for snare drum. The text is limited to a few very brief remarks at the top of some pages. The emphasis is on advanced reading material. The studies exploit in a great variety of ways two of the most important aspects of contemporary composition, namely: (1) artificial divisions, and (2) changing, asymetrical meters (i.e. 5/4, 7/4, 3/8, 5/8). This book is one of the finest new collections of etudes for the professional and college level percussionist.
