by Nick Petrella with Etudes by John Allemeier. Written for percussionists of all experience levels, with a particular emphasis on intermediate to advanced percussionists. Also used as a resource book for non-percussionist music educators required to teach a genre in which relatively little is printed, and for composers to gain insight or ideas from the concepts presented. Includes instrument setup, selection, phrasing, muting/dampening, interpretation and more.
