"This reference source provides the percussionist with a series of essays that pertain to various musical topics that he has encountered through his years as a performing musician, pedagogue and academician.

Composers may also wish to review this source for they will be directed not only to references that assist on how one should write for a percussionist, but also as to instrument capabilities, other composers and compositions written for the percussionist, analytical sources of these compositions, as well as recordings of these works." - Domenico E.
