Physician Endorses

Drumming as a means of exer-

Gently purchased an expensive
outfit for his daughter. The fact
that the girl can get good physi-
cal exercise while learning how
to drum appealed to this physi-
clan.
Closely allied with drums and
drumming is the home orchestra,
which has become an accepted
fact in the United States. The
popularity of the saxophone,
banjo and other easy-to-play in
struments is in a great degree
responsible for this. The learn
ing of one or other of these in
struments naturally developed
the idea Of a musical combina-
tion, and SO the home orchestra
came into being.
One of the big items in any
home orchestra is, of course, the
drum. The demand for orchestra
drums has led to rapid develop
ment in instruments to suit this
need. From the one or two drums
at first required has developed
the entire outfit for the home
orchestra.
