Works cited for Spanish drum manuals and resources.

Espinosa de los Monteros, Manuel. Libro de la Ordenanza De Los Toques de Pifanos y Tambores Que se Tocan, Nuevamente en la Infanteria Española. 1761/9.

Toques de Guerra de Ejército Española suggests this MS dated 1769. Several Spanish libraries, however, place it at 1761. The date on the cover appears closer to a 1 than a 9.

Espinosa de los Monteros, Manuel. Toques de Guerra de Ejército Española (1769). Edited by RPN Otaño. Burgos: Board of Cultural Relations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 1939.


I’m looking for more resources to develop my discussion of the History of Spanish Drum Rudiments.

Check out those pages and contact me if you have any resources that might help.

If there are any Spanish drum resources here that you want access to, but I haven’t yet included a link, ask me and I can hopefully help you out.
