He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Rudimental Grand Tour is a compendium of drumming cultures and traditions from twenty-two distinct regions throughout Europe and the Americas, designed to expand rudimental knowledge and develop international percussive skills. Each of the rudimental systems on the Grand Tour is broken down with a short history, an explanation of the notation styles and rhythmic quirks, a region-specific rudiment list with rhythmic interpretation, musical excerpts for context, an online recorded example, and a list of sources for further study. All twenty-two of the regions have contributed to the current state of the percussive arts and studying their rudimental drumming can help achieve higher levels of control, finesse, flexibility, creativity, and pure chops. Rudimental Grand Tour incorporates over 600 years of history and hundreds of unique rudiments that are not found on the Percussive Arts Society (PAS) 40 list. American fife and drum, Basler trommeln, Scottish pipe band, Mexican banda de guerra, Norwegian trommeslåtter, Swiss tambour-ordonnanz and sixteen more cultures are represented—both well-known and obscure. Whether you are a marching specialist, kit drummer, world percussionist, or classical artist, a world of rudimental possibility awaits. The author includes definitive online recordings of examples of each of the twenty-two drumming traditions explored in the book. [Rudimental Grand Tour] is the most thorough, in-depth presentation of the topic that I’ve ever seen, with an incredible amount of information … I’m sorry I didn’t write it myself! – Joel Rothman This is a serious collection of rudimental info! … I really checked your book out and find it to be a stellar text. – Edward Freytag
