	Rating: Having played some etudes out of this book myself, I can say that they are not necessarily challenging but provide the player with an opportunity to express themselves musically and have fun with some of the themes that are present in these etudes and solos. While I feel no new ground is being broken with any of these pieces, they are a good resource for students to maintain their technique and build their musicality.

	" This book is provides technical playing etudes in a creative and understandable way. Simple enough to be able to teach a beginner out of, while also remaining interesting to an intermediate player." - Denver Ridgway		" This book is provides technical playing etudes in a creative and understandable way. Simple enough to be able to teach a beginner out of, while also remaining interesting to an intermediate player." - Denver Ridgway


			Organization: The Table of Contents starts the book and spans one page, followed by an introduction. The rest of the book is divided into three sections: Two-Drum Etudes, Four-Drum Etudes, and Solos for Timpani. Each etude has a brief description, with the etudes towards the end of the book having more extensive descriptions and special titles. The last page, along with a paragraph on the back cover, contains a biography about the author.

			Content: The Introduction is very important, as it states that the book was not intended to be used without other books being utilized as it is not a method book and lists several recommended method books to use in conjunction with this book. The rest of the introduction lists notes about what to think about when practicing out of this book, practicing tips, and acknowledgments. The description of each etude lists the focus of the etude and elaborates on some parts which may need emphasis or explanation. Starting in the Four-Drum Etudes section, the descriptions become lengthier as they require more musicality. The solos reflect this the most, with an exception being “Fanfare for Some New Drums.”

			Uses: Taking into account that this is an etude book and is intended to be used in conjunction with other books, I would say this book would be given to a high school or college student for their own use, with an instructor assisting them with any issues or questions about the etudes. If a middle school has timpani available, a well-skilled student of their age may be able to build their skills with this book.
