The Encyclopedia of Percussion is an extensive guide to percussion instruments, organized for research as well as general knowledge. Focusing on idiophones and membranophones, it covers in detail both Western and non-Western percussive instruments. These include not only instruments whose usual sound is produced percussively (like snare drums and triangles), but those whose usual sound is produced concussively (like castanets and claves) or by friction (like the cuíca and the lion’s roar). The expertise of contributors have been used to produce a wide-ranging list of percussion topics. The volume includes: (1) an alphabetical listing of percussion instruments and terms from around the world; (2) an extensive section of illustrations of percussion instruments; (3) thirty-five articles covering topics from Basel drumming to the xylophone; (4) a list of percussion symbols; (5) a table of percussion instruments and terms in English, French, German, and Italian; and (6) an updated section of published writings on methods for percussion.

This comprehensive survey examines Latin American music, focusing on popular—as opposed to folk or art—music and containing more than 200 entries on the concepts and terminology, ensembles, and instruments that the genre comprises. The rich and soulful character of Latin American culture is expressed most vividly in the sounds and expressions of its musical heritage. While other scholars have attempted to define and interpret this body of work, no other resource has provided such a detailed view of the topic, covering everything from the mambo and unique music instruments to the biographies of famous Latino musicians. Encyclopedia of Latin American Popular Music delivers scholarly, authoritative, and accessible information on the subject, and is the only single-volume reference in English that is devoted to an encyclopedic study of the popular music in this genre. This comprehensive text—organized alphabetically—contains roughly 200 entries and includes a chronology, discussion of themes in Latin American music, and 37 biographical sidebars of significant musicians and performers. The depth and scope of the book's coverage will benefit music courses, as well as studies in Latin American history, multicultural perspectives, and popular culture.

With over 850 rudimental patterns, Encyclopedia Rudimentia is the largest and most comprehensive resource on rudimental drumming ever compiled. There are hundreds more historical, international, and hybrid rudiments in this book than in any other percussive resource to date. Use the Encyclopedia to reference rudiments from all 4 of the world's leading rudimental cultures, Ancient Anglo-American Fife and Drum, Swiss Basler Trommeln, Scotch Pipe Band Drumming, and DCI Hybrid Drumming plus learn unique examples from the German, Dutch, and French military styles. Learn from the 19th century masters on both sides of the Atlantic, including Hazeltine, Ashworth, Potter, Hart, Strube, Bruce & Emmett, Sousa, and Rumrille & Holton. Then, see how interpretations changed in the 20th Century with master teachers like Wilcoxon and Moeller. Go further beyond the normal rudiments with nearly 550 DCI Hybrid Rudiments that stretch right into the 21st century. This is the largest single collection of Hybrids in print today. Finally, compare the Anglo-American experience with that of 5 other European countries with exotic rudiments rarely seen in the USA (and never all in one place).
