Description:
In my time instructing and arranging for drumlines of various shapes and sizes, I always found it a challenge to find groovy jams that were easy enough for the developing player, yet musical enough to keep seasoned players interested. “Phrasing” is a new-and-improved version of a fun 64-count parade-marching drumline cadence that does just that. Originally written for a special group of percussionists from all across the great state of Washington (USA), “Phrasing” is geared toward beginning-to-intermediate drumlines of ANY size. In minimal rehearsal time, you’ll be able to make sure your band stays in-step while the drumline (and the audience) is rockin’!!!
