DESCRIPTION:
From an LP that Frank Arsenault made titled "The 26 Standard Rudiments American Drum Rudiments and Selected Solos." Not sure what year, that information is not printed on the jacket or the record label. Circa 1955-1965? Arsenault was a rudimental snare drum champion, an instructor and clinician for the Ludwig Drum Co. The Downfall of Paris is a fife and drum tune that dates back to 1801 in the American F&D repertoire (Abel Shattuck, Massachusetts). Published in 1861 by H.C. Hart and also by Bruce & Emmet in 1862.
