Rumble of the Drum for Snare Drum - 7 Min., schwer

rumble_extract.pdf

Composed in 2009, Rumble of the Drum is a technically challenging but musically satisfying solo snare drum piece. With four contrasting sections, section one begins powerfully with contrasting dynamics and groovy metric modulations. It is vital for the performer to execute these metric modulations in order for section two to be played at the correct tempo and feel, which is quite heavily rudimental. In contrast to section two, section three is written with a cadenza-like feel in mind. Here, the performer is able to really show-off their musicianship with extended techniques such as stick-on-stick or hitting the rim of the snare drum. The last section is almost a recapitulation of section two, with a short coda at the end of it. 

Rumble of the Drum would be a perfect concert piece for any tertiary student, as it would show an enormous palette of technical and musical abilities.
