Book Reviews of Drums For Dummies

Book Review: awesome book, but not for Taiko
Summary: 5 Stars

Jeff Strong is a great drummer (have some of his CDs) and this book is very thorough. For my case, I was looking for some help w/ Taiko drumming which is not covered in this book.

Pretty much every other percussion instrument is, though, so this is a valuable book for every other style.
