Book Shelf Review
| A Practical Guide to Percussion Terminology |
Another book which I have enjoyed dipping into in recent months is called ‘A Practical Guide to Percussion Terminology by Russ Girsberger. It is edited by Anthony Cironi. I particularly enjoyed this book. It is very much a dip-in book and it’s a very good dictionary of percussion terms from foreign language into English and also there is some very sensible advice about the interpretation of different foreign terms related to specific composer’s works. It is a comparatively slim volume but I would say, almost essential for any budding percussionist. This is a highly recommended text and it is something that I think every aspiring drummer and percussionist should have on their book shelf. Published by Meredith Music. |
