I’m offering the Moeller Book for sale.

Sanford Augustus Moeller is the namesake for the eponymous Moeller Technique or Moeller Stroke and his 1925 book is a gold standard among rudimental references. My Unabridged and Annotated edition is based on the original printing and is THE Moeller book everyone should be working from.

In 1929, revisions and cuts were made to the book, removing 83 pages! No subsequent edition has ever had more than 96 pages at best case, but my edition has ALL 174 original pages of masterful Moeller instruction.

The “other” Moeller Book currently in print is one of the heavily cut editions, missing 79 of the pages featured in the original (and my reissue). Mine has more rudiments, more solos, more band and orchestra excerpts, more quicksteps and Camp Duty signals, more discussions and tips, sections on the fife and bugle, and my annotations for background and fact checking. There is no logical comparison. If you’re going to buy a Moeller Book, it might as well be the whole thing. You can either painstakingly hunt for an antique from the 1920s, pay more, and then worry about damaging it, OR just order this reproduction and feel free to use it, write in it, and abuse it if necessary.

All original pages are present, with the original formatting and numbering. This is the real deal. The whole hog, if you will. Your drumming library isn’t complete without a Moeller book and no edition since the 1920s is as complete as this one!
