For many years, the “duo” design was my secret weapon on the kit. I use the smaller tip for adding colors on the cymbals or crispy hi-hat accents…while using the bigger tip to really smack the snare, giving it that sexy POP every drummer strives for.
I can play both ballads (with the smaller tip) and heavy hitting rock or pop tunes (with the larger tip) and all I have to do is flip my sticks over. This allows me to have more range in my sound. That’s why I spent many years developing my double-tipped drum sticks, (“Duo”, as I called them) with one larger tip on one side and one smaller tip on the other. And it all starts with the right drum stick… Single-tipped drum sticks limit both sound and dynamics. Through vivid photographs, memorabilia and staggering statistics about the men and women who have served for our country, young readers are given a fascinating look at an aspect of our country's ongoing history - the aspect that is often the most difficult to address.Many drummers ask me about my sound… “How do you get your snare to POP like that?!” “How do you get your hats/toms to sound so good?” There are many factors to producing the ideal drum sound. Moving accounts of lives saved and lives lost are ultimately what all stories of war are about. What emerges is a fascinating story of our growth as an independent nation, along with an ever-evolving definition of the peacekeeping role our country plays on the world stage. Each section provides an overview of the wars themselves, and the circumstances under which Canada and Canadians became involved, whether government-directed or by personal conviction.
In this important new book, Jonathan Webb gives young Canadians a comprehensive look at Canada's efforts in wars ranging from the Boer War of 1884 up to the war in Afghanistan. A fascinating account of Canada's military history and the role Canada's troops have played on foreign soil.
