Announcing the Ultimate Tenor Book:
“The Art of Multi-Tenor Drumming” by James Christian

I am happy to announce that my new book The Art of Multi-Tenor Drumming is now available to order.  It has taken me the better part of a decade to write it, and I believe drummers everywhere will find it worth the wait.  For decades, drum set, keyboard percussion, snare drum, and timpani have had several detailed texts written for them.  Now tenor drums finally get their turn. This is the book that the tenor world has been waiting for.

At 366 pages, this is the most thorough book ever written on the art of tenor drumming.  It covers the absolute basics and lays a solid foundation for beginners, while giving intermediate and advanced players plenty of material to challenge them as well.  This book has been a true labor of love, and I hope people will enjoy playing from it as much as I enjoyed writing it.  I offer this book as an opportunity to raise the bar and set a new standard for the next generation.
