The Cambridge companion to the drum kit
\"The drum kit is ubiquitous in global popular music and culture, and modern kit drumming profoundly defined the sound of twentieth-century popular music. The Cambridge Companion to the Drum Kit highlights emerging scholarship on the drum kit, drummers, and key debates related to the instrument and its players. Interdisciplinary in scope, this volume showcases research from across the humanities, sciences, and social sciences, all of which interrogates the drum kit, a relatively recent historical phenomenon, as a site worthy of analysis, critique, and reflection. Providing readers with an array of perspectives on the social, material, and performative dimensions of the instrument, this book will be a valuable resource for students, drum kit studies scholars, and all those who want a deeper understanding of the drum kit, drummers, and drumming\"-- Provided by publisher.
BOOK
I Drum, Therefore I Am
Despite their central role in many forms of music-making, drummers have been largely neglected in the scholarly literature on music and education. Drawing on data collected from in-depth interviews and questionnaires, Gareth Dylan Smith explores the identities, practices and learning of teenage and adult kit drummers in and around London. As a London-based drummer and teacher of drummers, Smith uses his own identity as participant-researcher to inform and interpret other drummers' accounts of their experiences. Drummers drum; therefore they are, they do, and they learn - in a rich tapestry of means and contexts.

Topeng Betawi: The Sounds of Bodies Moving
Henry Spiller takes us to northern West Java, Indonesia, to explain a local form of theatre called topeng Betawi. Focusing on a transitional comic segment in the performance that comes between its dance-oriented opening and its dialogue-oriented end, he contends that this segment contains stylistic conventions that effect a modulation from movement to word and back again \"by representing movement in words-by speaking the sounds of bodies moving.\" Henry Spiller is a Ph. D. candidate at the University of California, Berkeley. His paper was selected as one of the three winners in the annual debut panel competition of the Association for Asian Performance and was presented at the Association for Theatre in Higher Education Conference in San Antonio, Texas, in the summer of 1998. The other papers chosen were by Kei Hibino, a Ph. D. candidate at the CUNY Graduate School, and Mai Naito, a Ph. D. candidate at New York University. (Their papers were not submitted for publication.)
