Snare Drum Duets

Written by Modern Drummer publisher Ron Spagnardi, Snare Drum Duets offers a selection of 25 challenging duets ranging in difficulty from simple to complex. A wide assortment of time signatures is used throughout the book, from 2/4 and common time, to 5/8, 7/8 and 12/8, among others. This book can be used for two players in duet format (remembering to alternate parts), as individual solos for improvement of basic reading skills, or for play-along with the enclosed CD, which includes a separate recording of both parts for each duet. Conscientious practice of the material in Snare Drum Duets will improve both reading and technical skills, regardless of the manner in which the book is used. Ideal for high school and college-level percussionists, this book/CD pack is fun for students and teachers.
