Chapter 1 Pieces

So here is the first song in my book; a straight up 8-beat drum track with a few semi-quaver fills, and a section in the middle for the player to add their own style to the song.

My second song is in 3/4 time, changes to 4/4 in the middle section, and back to 3/4 for the ending (a bit like a coda).

And here is my third solo piece. This one in is 12/8 and is more sparce than the other two; the idea is that the gaps in the music encourage the drummer to learn good time keeping, and how sometimes more can be achieved when less is played.

I've written a duet too, but what I've uploaded there is just the half the drummer would be playing. This piece is designed to show the importance of playing in time, and allow the player to enjoy something a bit different from their drum tuition book.
