    Default Please recommend a snare solo piece

    Dear Sirs,

    Can anyone please recommend a snare solo for an absolute beginner. I would like to have some sheet music to practice with in addition to preforming the rudiments ad nauseam.

    Thanks
    Mike

    Welcome to the board M/E. I would suggest looking up college drumline sites. they usually offer sheet music and lesson plans free to the public. I am sure someone here will have better advice than me. F/T

    Thank you both.

    I will check "Buddy Rich's modern interpretation of snare drum rudiments" out from the local library. (I was shocked to see it in the catalog)

    Thank you for your suggestions. Do you remember the first piece of sheet music you worked from?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    There is a tape of a young Buddy Rich playing a solo. Single Paradiddle, Double Paradiddle, Triple Paradiddle, Double Paradiddle, Single Paradiddle..out. Say that in a Ginger Baker accent!

    Thanks all for your help.

    I've been using "Buddy Rich's modern interpretation of snare drum rudiments" now for a couple of days. It is exactly what I was looking for. To review,

    Thank you.
