    Default Three Camps on Marching Snare

    Does anyone know who wrote "Three Camps"? I have to find sheet music for it because I like it and may consider using it for my audition

    It has been arranged by many different people. I'm not sure who the original composer is.

    The version we have was Arranged by John S. Pratt, it is the version I've heard done most often. As far as the original author it just says "Traditional" whoever he was!!

    Ya Pratt is a good one. I have the one by Guy Gauthreaux. There really isn't a composer. It's a piece that his been around for a while.

    "Three Camps" is named as such because of its three variations: Camp 1 in Rolls; Camp 2 in Paradiddles and Camp 3 in Ratamacues. The precision of each variation is that the accented notes are a single stroke with the entire solo sounding as a continuous Role, Paradiddle or Ratamacue exercise. "Three Camps" is from the Revolutionary War period and is not an easy study. It takes a lot of practice to play each variation to its proper speed. It is meant to sound like: 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4. The accents are on counts 1 2 3 and the unaccented single stroke is on count 4 except in measure 3. You might also take a look for "The Downfall Of Paris"...another Rudimental snare drum solo from the same period...a bit easier to play too.
    There's a lot to be said for Time Honored tradition and value.

    like Frank said its a tough one to make it smooth and even sounding with the different sticking variations. Ive used parts of it many times in a solo. move it around the kit ........... lavely.
    Obviously, not on your side drum audition though Stokes, sry If I hacked your thread.
