Review from Percussive Notes:

This 254-page text is retired Professor Siwe's percussion methods syllabus and class-by-class schedule for 25 classes (including a draft of a final exam for the course). Topics include: I. Introduction; II. Basic Information; III. The Snare Drum; IV. Bass Drum; V. Cymbals; VI. Timpani; VII. Triangle; VIII. Tambourine; IX. Castanets; X. Small Wood Instruments; XI. Resonant Metal Instruments; XII. Mallet-Keyboard Instruments; XIII. The Drum Set; XIV. World Percussion; XV. Marching Percussion; XVI. Care and Repair; XVII. References; XVIII. List of Resources, Methods and Ensembles; XIX. PAS Rudiment Chart. There are detailed notes and discussion on each subject with Siwe's suggested timelines for each topic. This comprehensive text is not bound, but rather is hole-punched for a three-ring binder and ready for adaptation for the college percussion instructor's use in teaching percussion methods. It could also serve as a superb resource for the band or orchestra director who either did not have as well-organized a course content or who desires an intense review of this subject matter.
