by Mark Beecher This the first video of its kind, covering the history and progression of Ancient Military Drumming. From the 14th Century in Basel, Switzerland, through Europe, to the American Revolution, Civil War, and modern times, this program is a compilation of many ancient manuscripts and drum manuals. Mark demonstrates the different rudiments with their applications, giving the viewer an opportunity to study authentic styles and techniques from the past. The video includes duets with a bass drummer and trio performances with a fifer. There is also a special section on applying the ancient rudiments and drum beatings to the drum kit. This video is a must for drummers of all styles and levels and for those who would like to go beyond the Standard 26 and 40 International Rudiments. A booklet is enclosed with extra historical and musical information. Mickey Bookspan , Principal Percussionist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, says... Send check or m/o for $29.95 per video |
