New Music for 2010

Control Freak for Snare Drum Solo – Murray Houllif - $5.00
This solo will be a challenge for all those practitioners of Geo. L. Stones’s books- Stick Control & Accents & Rebounds, as well as Buster Bailey’s Wrist Twisters. Ideal for high school solo competitions, college juries, or rudimental percussion study.

The composer says- “This solo really shows off and displays a drummer’s technique, control, finesse, speed, versatility, etc. It should appeal to players who have worked on the rudiments, Moeller stroking techniques, and even orchestrally trained drummers. Plus I think it is just plain fun to play!” – M.H.
