BOOK : Le tambour français (French Marching drum)
Le Tambour Français – Histoire et évolution, by Jean-Michel Froidure, is a book devoted to the history of the instrument.
The marching drum has a far richer history than it might appear. This book gathers, for the first time, everything known to date, even where that means overturning received ideas such as the origin of the drum itself. It covers a wide range of ground: the physics of the drum's sound, archaeological finds, ethnology and the relationship of peoples to music, the linguistics behind the word tambour, and the transcription of old marches into modern notation. The popular imagery — nineteenth- and early twentieth-century newspapers, old songs and their sheet music — makes it a book of real heritage value.
