Stick Shift

SKU: CL.031-3083-01

Very spirited drum feature for young bands that really rocks. Solid even with reduced instrumentation, full of short drum fill spots and then it has a Wipe-Out type drum solo section to really get the house rockin’. Tutti rhythms and solid scoring make it almost play itself. Will be your student’s and audiences favorite.

PROGRAM NOTES: While not necessarily a march, this tune should be played with a militaristic feeling. Indeed, as I was writing, the image of parade ground marching filled my mind. And so while it does give the idea of regimented movements and efficient scheduling, it's not about marching off to war and saying goodbye to loved ones. Rather, it simply conveys the idea of respect and a sense of decorum. PERFORMANCE NOTES: The intro, first section and re-intro should be played very lightly, while the middle section should elicit a heavier feeling. Be sure to bring out the timbral shifts as instruments drop in and out in the middle section. For the ending, I have no other words than big; give it all you've got. In measures 1-23 of the Percussion 2 part, the bell of the cymbal is to be struck with a snare stick. In measures 13-20 of the Percussion 1 part (and measures 13-24 of the Advanced Percussion 1 part), the snare should play on the rim. Also, in measures 21-24, it is notated that the snare drum player should hit their sticks together at face level for effect.
