Mithril Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I am need of snare solo advice for a competition. I am not that good on the snare and am also doing many other solos for the same competition, so I need the easiest one. Below is the list of approved solos. If anyone has heard or played any of these, please tell me if you liked it and it was relatively easy. This would help soooo much! :toothygrin: Stuart's System for Success (Beck) Three Dances for Solo Snare (Benson) Suite for Solo Snare Drum (Frock) Crash Landing (Hurley, Marty) The Phancy Phantom (Hurley, Marty) The Clave King (Hurley, Marty) Nitaka Dawn [Yama Mama Moto] (Kastuck, Steve) G.L.S.

Old Composer Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I haven't heard of any of these, save the Pratt example, and I'm not sure if it's in the book I have, "12 Modern Concert Solos for Snare Drum" or whatever it's called. I've been through that whole book though, and it's really good, but it's not insanely hard. I learned Drum Corps on Parade (from the Pratt book) in like a week for an audition and I was pretty bad at snare. What competition are you entering? Quote
Mithril Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 It's just a small local recital and I don't know what it's called. I guess that's why no one I've talked to knows any of these! Thanks for your help though. Quote
