Now in print for the first time in decades, the Henry Potter & Co. Side Drum Tutor by Fred H. Poole is once again available for purchase from Amazon as a paperback or a Kindle ebook.

From the company that brought you The Art of Beating the Drum by Samuel L. Potter, Poole’s Tutor is an early 1900s civilian rudimental drumming manual that prepares users to play the latest concert marches of the day, as well as provides general music reading and rudimental instruction in the British style — open flams and close flams, open drags and close drags, flam and feint, feint and flam, and more. Twenty Five rudiments in all, plus 5 examples, 16 beatings, and 8 exercises.
