Intermediate Drum Method
Elementary Drum Method
A unique collection of snare drum solos by three of today's outstanding rudimental composers. Chosen by the composers themselves from their highly acclaimed publications by Meredith Music, these “rudimental gems” employ a variety of styles, interesting effects, contemporary hybrid rudiments, and solos that “swing” to form a collection that is sure to add spice to the life of any drummer or aficionado.Solos by James Campbell, Dominick Cuccia, and John Pratt
Inspired by Charley Wilcoxon's “Modern Rudimental Swing Solos,” these 22 original snare drum solos were written for developing students as well as advanced drummers. Each solo combines rudiments with rhythmic phrasing in musical pieces that include: 40 PAS International Drum Rudiments; contemporary hybrid rudiments; interesting effects like crush rolls, back sticking, butt-end stabs and claw rolls; rudimental solos that swing; and more. Each solo is fun to play and helps to build technique!

Written by Anthony J. Cirone, edited by Ray Brych. Instructional book for snare drum.
One of the classic snare drum books in print today! This publication presents the reader with challenging and stimulating material for the intermediate and advanced percussion student. Contains 50 musical solos and brief performance notes
Portraits in Rhythm Complete Study Guide
The Portraits in Rhythm Study Guide contains a detailed analysis of the fifty snare drum etudes from Portraits in Rhythm. These observations and interpretations represent many years of performing and teaching. As with all music, there is no one interpretation; however, I hope these suggestions spark an interest in each student to develop a greater insight into a composer's musical intentions. As this text is studied and applied to each etude, I expect these newly learned skills will carry over into other compositions and performances. The first 25 etudes originally appeared in Modern Drummer Magazine, and I wish to thank Ron Spagnardi for his cooperation in releasing them for publication. This publication contains an analysis of the entire 50 etudes in one volume.
