I’ve been teaching percussion for 25 years and this is one of the best books about drumming I’ve ever seen. There’s something for everyone in this book. It has great visual demonstrations and is FULL of so much fantastic detailed information.
It covers pretty much any of the questions you’ve probably had about quad drumming. This is a must have resource for educators and students.

This is the absolute best percussion tenor book I have seen written and my students absolutely love it. I have had great reviews from former DCI tenor players and Band directors that have percussion backgrounds also. Buy this book! It is a must have for all schools!

Thomas has created the next iteration of modern quad drumming. His style, approach and knowledge creates a thoughtful, intuitive prose that is always interesting. He educates, elevates and teaches the craft while staying respectful to the art form . As an educator, I am very comfortable recommending Quadlingual to students worldwide as the definition of where quad drumming is at, where it’s been, and most importantly, where it’s going. 5 Stars!
