New 19th Century Documents
I’ve just added 7 (wow!) 19th century manuals, with publication dates ranging from 1853 to 1891, to the Historical Documents page. That brings the total number of period manuals to 10, covering drum beatings, playing styles and notation used during the War of 1812, the Civil War, and beyond! Check it out and discover a bit of our rudimental drumming history. Happy drumming!
Crazy Army
Another fun rudimental solo called Crazy Army has been added to Resources under Rudimental Solos. Enjoy and happy drumming!
