Product Description
This piece was written as a way for young percussionists to get some time on marching instruments before they join the marching band, Its based around the concept of double-beat and a 16th note grid. It starts as a conventional concert percussion ensemble, but halfway through, everyone except for the hi-hat player moves to a marching drum to play some grooves that will further reinforce the technique of double-beat, while also sounding pretty cool! Then everyone returns to their original instruments to finish out the piece.
