GREAT DRUMMERS ON TIPBOOK DRUMS

This book should come as standard equipment with every drum set sold. It spells out all of the fundamentals of this contraption we call the Drum Set, and I recommend it to all drummers. (Steve Smith)

I love this book. It has something for everyone – and you can teach an old dog new tricks! (Adam Nussbaum)

READERS ON TIPBOOK DRUMS
If you are just starting to play the drums or if you have been playing for years this is a great book to have. It covers everything. Drums, cymbals, stands, sticks, how drums are made. The list goes on. You will not be disappointed. A must have book if you are a drummer.

These books of Mr. Hugo Pinksterboer are very useful. One can learn new things, even if you think that you don't need additional information.

I've been playing drums for about 14 years now and this book helps me out a little more, goes into detail about certain products, it even is up to date on a lot of the new equipment that is out. I strongly suggest this book to anyone that wants more info on drums, and the functions of certain products. I’m serious, drummers need this book to add to their collection, or better yet to start their collection.
