Taking No Shortcuts: A Complete Pipe Band Drumming Reference Book

J. Reid Maxwell's Taking No Shortcuts is absolutely packed with drumming fundamentals, from the basics to beyond.

The exercises and movements come a lifetime of drumming, with 3 decades spent with Simon Fraser University Pipe Band. Spiral bound. 2023. 118 pages.
