More about this title
About the Composer: Ed Brown
Ed Brown's career spans four decades of diverse percussion work across performance, repair, and education. Based in Los Angeles, he spent 25 years as a working musician in major venues while simultaneously running a drum shop and establishing himself as the go-to repair technician for school programs and professional players throughout the area, including work with studios like 20th Century Fox and Universal.
Beyond his shop and studio teaching, Brown has maintained a private studio for over 40 years, earning respect as both mentor and innovator. He stays current with evolving percussion technologies and design innovations, bringing that real-world expertise directly into his writing and teaching.
Why we love this
A director who understands percussion repair stops wasting money on outsourced fixes and starts solving problems during rehearsal. Brown's manual cuts through the complexity with practical, actionable steps written by someone who has actually fixed thousands of instruments, not theorized about them.
Who it's for
Any band or percussion director responsible for keeping instruments playable. Percussion students who want to understand their instruments beyond playing them will find the detailed terminology and measurement guidance invaluable for building instrument literacy.
How to use it
Keep this in your office as a reference during inventory season, or assign specific sections to intermediate percussion students as part of your instrument maintenance curriculum. The lay-flat binding makes it accessible for quick lookups when a snare strap breaks ten minutes before concert.
Skills your students will build
- identifying percussion instrument damage and determining repair priorities
- measuring drum dimensions for accurate parts ordering
- understanding percussion terminology specific to construction and repair
- basic troubleshooting for mallet instruments and timpani
- organizing and maintaining a functional percussion inventory
