Hey Guys,

Been looking at getting some books to gain more knowledge of different drum and cymbal manufactures.

The Rob Cook books seem to be great resources but have not been updated in a long time. Maybe this does not matter because those drums like Rogers, Slingerland, etc. have not been made in a long time so there really is not much to update?

The books about cymbals may be in the same boat as far as not much to update on cymbals that haven't been produced in decades?

Are there any books on hardware? I find myself getting more and more interested lately in vintage hi-hat and cymbal stands.

Do you guys recommend picking up these Rob Cook books or any others? I know a lot of information can be researched online but sometimes it is nice to have an actual book to flip through.

Thanks
