Drummers – would you be interested in a ‘Green’ drum rack? Even if you are not overly eco-sensitive, you might just love the looks of this great idea from Steve Chizar: a drum-set rack structured from domestically grown bamboo. And Steve crafts these quality racks by hand!

On the Bamboo Drum Rack web site, Mr. Chizar further explains why the racks are truly a 'Green' product.

The Bamboo Drum Rack

So go to Steve’s web site and learn more about this novel hardware design. The Bamboo Rack can be purchased there, as well:

Rudimental Remedies
Rudimental Remedies - John Wooton:

This is a very informative book/DVD combination publication from Dr. John Wooton, percussion professor at Southern Mississippi State University.

The book and video introduces the student to the traditional drum rudiments and expresses them further with appropriate exercises and etudes. Wooton applies the etudes at different tempos and different World rhythm styles.
