Overview

Mattingly, Rick. The Drums and Percussion Cook Book: Creative Recipes for Players and Teachers. Galesville, MD: Meredith Music Publications, 2008.

This book has a tremendous amount of advice. Topics include how to practice well, interpreting a piece of music, and how to mentally get un-frustrated with a piece. Each person in this book was allowed a couple of pages to explain something to a percussionist. There is a wide range of topics and some of them get repeated, but they are written by percussionist like Christopher Deane, Michael Burritt, and Anthony Cirone who’s music I have played.

Student Reviews

I think this book is great. It isn’t exactly a method book, but it offers great advice by composers who write the music I play. Because of this, I would use this book.
Rating: II
