1957–1982: A Perspective of Drumset Percussion and the Plastic Drum Head by Dave Levine (February 1982 Percussive Notes)

by Rhythm Scene Staff | Aug 11, 2022

“The drum set demands teaching techniques all its own. The teacher/performer must have an understanding of the history of the music associated with the instrument. He must have knowledge of the artistic and technical growth of the great players of the instrument. We have tried to approach these areas in this, the first Percussive Notes to feature the drum set. Many thanks to the authors.”
