Samenvatting:

The Drum: A History highlights the different uses and customs associated with drumming and examines how the drum developed across many cultures and over thousands of years before they became the instruments we know today. Bringing its history to the present, Dean considers the modern cultural and commercial face of the drum, detailing its role in military settings, the development of the "modern drum kit," and looking at the continuing evolution of the drum and its role. Finally, drum fans will have at their fingertips the biographies of key drummers and even drumming world records.
