A challenging and fun collection of contemporary snare drum solos for all styles of drummers.
Daniel Bédard presents a challenging and fun collection of contemporary snare drum solos for all styles of drummers. Prepared under the encouragement of late Wizdom Media founder Dom Famularo, the book addresses all the various aspects of musical control for the snare drummer and drum set player.
In these 20 snare drum solos, you’ll find many varied themes, including rudimental playing; triplet-oriented pieces; paradiddle-oriented solos; 3/4, 5/4, and 7/8 time signatures; single-stroke studies; slow and fast solos; roll-oriented solos; rhythmic combinations; solos with rests; and much more. Most of the solos are built around 4- or 8-bar phrases so that you can only focus on a small chunk of information if needed.
