Three Friends

This work features snare drum, two (2) toms, and a bass drum (played horizontally with timpani sticks). The abundant dynamic changes, the interactive passages comprised of rolls, flams, quarter, eighths, and sixteenth notes, and the articulate 8th and 16th note solos makes this composition a favorite among students. The meter change alternates between 3 /4 and 2/4 .This musical trio will also help develop musicianship and assist in the development of the student's ability to hear what is going on around them, and to better understand where and how their parts contribute to the effectiveness of the performance. Perfect for any concert program.
