Mickey Hart noticed that there wasn't a good general introduction to the anthropological and musicological literature on percussion, so he pulled one together. And did an excellent job of it, too! Fascinating stuff.

Brilliant, intoxicating... and yet patient.
Each chapter found my hands tapping out a rhythm (each one different) of their own accord, as though the book was guiding them.
I learned a lot about drumming, drums, rhythm ... and history!
