Meade - Keeping the Beat Book and DVD

This book, while dated is a great resource for the beginning mid section drummer. I am a piper who wanted to know more about this subject so, if needed I could teach it to young players. The flourishes are simple but give a great effect even if they are limited. Simple massed band type notation is given for both bass and tenor drums. The DVD is also very helpful in demonstrating the basic flourishes. There is not much talk about different sizes of the tenor drums for melodic playing. Mr. Meade only mentions flourishing and rhythmic tenor drummers. However, for the most part it would be a great resource for a grade 5 pipe band looking for reference material and does not have access to an experienced tenor or bass drummer in a pipe and drum band.
