What Is Modern Drumming? The Evolution of the American Snare Drum Style.

Thank you for visiting my KZread channel.
This video is an overview discourse about the American snare drum style as it evolved from its “ancient” military origins of the Revolutionary War to how it became known as “modern” in the 20th Century.
I’ve self-published a book on this subject. “The Ancient Art of Modern Drumming.”

    Ed, I was in the middle of a long winded comment when I lost it all with erroneous keystroke. Probably for the best. Just want to say that your presentation on this topic, in my humble opinion, is right on. I'm familiar with some of the folks you mention. I was taught out of the J. Burns Moore book, took private lessons from Earl Sturtze, and knew and jammed with some of the Sons of Liberty. I grew up on the Connecticut side of the NY/CT border. So there was a lot of drumming culture cross-pollination had. Keep up the good work! -Joe

    Thanks Ed, this is a fascinating topic and one that is worthy of exploration. I think we don't have a solid understanding of the way these approaches of the old marching snare drum guys translate to the drumset so we have this phenomenon of endless gurus pontificating on the mechanics of how to strike a drum with a stick without really understanding the evolution of modern drumming as a military snare drum art to contemporary drumming where we are playing this convoluted instrument that's in effect a whole marching percussion section made economically efficient by replacing manpower with conTRAPtions. Isn't it?
