THE ROUGH GUIDE TO

DRUMS

The Essential Tipbook

Once you’ve read this Rough guide tip book you’ll be able to get the best out of drums or cymbals, make an informed purchase, and understand pretty much all the jargon that you’ll come across in magazines, brochures and on the internet. This is a book that tells you everything you need to know rather than everything there is to know.

Features include:

• What to look for when buying a drum or cymbal-and how to avoid making expensive mistakes
• A run-through of the different brands
• Tips on heads, sticks, and maintaining your kit
• Clear diagrams to illustrate all the key points
• Glossary of technical terms
