4.0 out of 5 stars
A book for every drummer interested in history of drums,
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Sets: Drum Kits of the Great Drummers (Paperback)
A well documented and illustrated book written by someone who collects and builds drums. A lot of information can be found on the diameters of drums, cymbals and trademarks of drumkits used by the most famous rock and jazz drummers. One of my favorite books. An ideal complement of "Guide to vintage drums".

This review is from: Star Sets: Drum Kits of the Great Drummers (Paperback)
From the 20's to the 90's this book introduces you to the worlds greatest drummers and gives diagrams of their set-ups.
The only thing I didn't like about the book is that it needs updating, with a few more drummers added. I am not a drummer but love listening to drum solo's, and bought this book out of curiosity. On the side... I downloaded 100+ drum solos from audiogalaxy, and winmx.
