Excepts from the book:

"Observe in learning all Rolls. Flams. Drags. Paradidles &c - They must begin very slow increasing moderately to the quickness required. If any mistake however trifling the Boy must immediately leave off, and begin again as at first or he will get a bad habit, that will make his Drum beating a pain to himself and appear like labour to those who see him beat;"

"The Flam when learnt, both Sticks must strike the Drum nearly st the same time."

"The Drag is learned by making two Faint Strokes on the Drum head with the left hand stick, and one with the right, be sure to strike the right hand Stick Strong and distinct. This must be practis'd till it can be Beat as close as if struck with one Drum Stick."
