Recorded versions of tunes mentioned above are available from the Liberty Hall Drum and Fife Corps (email libertyhalldrumcorps@gmail.com). We recorded the drum and fife parts from Klinehanse, with the exception of the Dutch drumbeat, which came from Keach, Burditt, and Cassidy's 1861 manual.<br /><br />Regarding what drummer boys did during battle, good references are Drum Taps in Dixie by Delavan Miller and A Little Fifer's War Diary by Charles Bardeen.<br /><br />ANONYMOUSEllis Mirskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059186096779798410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702460502853399807.post-26834041330047341332018-10-04T10:44:13.795-04:002018-10-04T10:44:13.795-04:00December 22, 2009 at 1:42 PM

There is a drum at the Sharpsburg museum that has a brass shell and box strainer but was made by Horstmann Bros., at least according to the label. Perhaps they were imports but not sold as such. And maybe the Klemm and Bro. drum had the strainer added later or it was copied from a strainer from a European drum. I would like to know when the American makers started putting strainers on their drums. Swiss and French drums had strainers much much earlier.<br /><br />Fortunately for those crazy bidders, the reserve was set too high on the blue drum."<br />Ellis Mirskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059186096779798410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702460502853399807.post-21443064764554861662018-09-11T12:27:28.037-04:002018-09-11T12:27:28.037-04:00Hi All,

I contacted the auction house that sold it back in 2009 but, unfortunately, all records were lost in a fire. If anyone can shed light on this drum, I would greatly appreciate it. <br />Thanks in advance,<br />Dave P.
