The Drum Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Drum Book (Paperback)
I believe this book is a must have for anyone who loves to play the drums. It has many detailed and interesting pictures and fasinating information about the early years of the drum set. Although, I also believe that it tends to be from a british point of view and does skip over a lot of what has happened with the drum set in more recent years, but it would be an enjoyable book for anyone who likes to sit down and play on their drumset!

Superb!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Drum Book (Paperback)
This book offers a superb illustrated history of the modern drumkit. The text is also quite informative but the best part of the book is certainly all the detailed pictures of drumkits that have paved the way to the modern set. Some pictures are quite intriguing like Carl Palmer steel kit or the weird Trixon sets with conical drums... A must read for all drummers out there!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Was very informative with some good illustrations.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Drum Book (Paperback)
Although the book was intended to be from a British perspective, I feel that there was too much emphasis on Premier and it's players. From the late 70's to the 90's Yamaha, Pearl and Tama dominated the drum scene and it appears that this was overlooked.It's still a great book and I wish Geoff all the best for the future.
