My second self-published book is now available for purchase. “Quicksteps and Drum Beatings” contains 33 selections from Bruce and Emmett’s “Drummer’s and Fifer’s Guide,” first published in 1862. While its use during the Civil War was probably not common, it does offer a glimpse at the rudimental stylings of the post-Civil War late 1800’s. These arrangements are recommended for beginner to intermediate students.

Available at TheBookPatch.com for $7.95.

Also, please note that I’ve found a less expensive printing service allowing me to lower the price from $10.95 to $7.95 for my first book, “Rudimental Solos for Snare Drum for the Advanced Drummer.”

I am pleased to announce the self-publication of my first book, “Rudimental Solos for Snare Drum for the Advanced Drummer.” It contains 8 original solos and 2 traditional solos from the Civil War era, “Downfall of Paris” and “Three Camps.” It is available for purchase here for $7.95 plus shipping.

I am also working on two other books, the first of which will be ready soon. The second is for marching drumlines and will be available this summer.
