Timpani Method Books

Here is my collection of Timpani method books. When I was teaching, I became obsessed with drum books! Most new books that came into the music store, I would buy. There used to be this big event called The Mammoth Music Mart a few towns over. I would walk out with all kinds of books and records. I also found books at The Chicago Drum show every year I attended. I probably have four to five hundred drum books.

Scanning all of these and looking at the collection, I think my motive at the time being a drum teacher was to ammas a library of books. Looking at it now, I think I liked the artwork and colors on the covers.

 

This is JUST the covers!
