SOLOCajon – 20 pages; 15 pop/rock solos for cajon - with increasing levels of difficulty

Ambitious cajon players will enjoy further developing their musical skills with SOLOCajon.

The 15 appealing solos are often performed at small “concerts”, e.g. at school. This not only teaches one how to prepare specifically for an event, but also how to present oneself confidently. The applause that follows can even boost self-confidence.

SOLOCajon is ideal as a supplement to ONECajon - The Pop/Rock method for Cajon.

This bilingual edition is published in German and English.

A Tribute to Charley - 64 S.; 50 Rudimental Solos als Hommage an Charley Wilcoxon, mittel bis schwer, auch ungerade Taktarten und Jazz-Feeling; Text englisch/german

A Tribute to Charley – 50 Rudimental Solos is Sperie Karas‘ salute to drumming legend Charley Wilcoxon. As a former student of Wilcoxon, Sperie knows his style and approach firsthand. The 50 musically detailed snare drum solos feature classic rudimental drumming à la Wilcoxon, but with a modern twist. In addition to solos in 2/4, 4/4 and 6/8 time, odd time signatures are also represented, the pieces are dynamically refined, and meter changes or swing feel can be found as well as ideas for interpretation and execution on the drum set. This opens up a contemporary perspective and provides a unique opportunity to improve your own rudimental drumming with new, inspiring impulses. Fascinating!

"The Christmas Drum Book 2" is the continuation of the classic "The Christmas Drum Book", the first German drum book all about the music of the pre-Christmas season for beginners and advanced drummers.
It expands the range with great and varied Christmas playalongs in different styles from pop to swing to hip hop and funk.
All pieces are presented in the download section with drumset and each song is available as a playalong version to play along.
As with the first volume, pieces are also arranged especially for the snare drum (in each case in three difficulty levels easy, intermediate and difficult), so that the young drummer has the opportunity at Christmas to give something to the best under the Christmas tree, without getting the whole drum set from the basement.
