Ludwig Bass Drum Pedal Book

The Bass Drum Pedal was one of the most integral advancements for a modern drummer. They could now play an entire drum set themselves. Two and sometimes three drummers were previously needed for engagements. The Ludwig brothers were the ones that invented and produced the first commercially viable Bass Drum Pedal. I choose 1909 through 1969 because that was the era of inception, innovation and what I deem the era of mechanical advancement. I want you to see photographs from the Ludwig Bass Drum Pedal family tree from 1909 through 1969 not just the illustrations that were in catalogs. The publication will be in full color with a  4 page cover and a 64 page body. I'm looking to print 250 copies and cover all of the expenses associated with producing a publication. Please help me fulfill this dream. If I reach my goal, I can give each person that donates at least $50 a free book. I lowered the goal to $2,500 but I'm not sure it will show on the page. A prototype has been ordered and should be here after the New Year. I will put toward the fund in addition to whatever monies I get so I can produce as many copies as possible. I'm hoping to have the book out early in February. Thank you again to everyone that has donated to my book. SAZ
