I am forever searching for resources and manuals to add to the site for visitors to peruse. I’ve recently found better quality versions of two manuals containing previously missing pages.

“The Young Drummers Assistant” by Longman and Broderip, 1780

“A New, Useful and Complete System of Drum Beating” by Charles Ashworth, 1812

Each contains 4 additional pages and are of noticeably higher quality. They can be found, along with many other historically significant manuals in the Historical Documents section. Enjoy these updates and Happy Drumming!
