Colonial Episode is a snare drum solo that captures the essence of the drumming of the American Revolution. This piece is not in tended as a period transcription but rather as a rudimental selection in the style of 18th century military drumming. Published under the Solo Graded Series, Kendor Music rates Colonial Episode as a grade 4 with an approximate duration of two minutes and five seconds. Composer John Beck presents the theme and development in a clear and precise manner. Utilizing such rudiments as paradiddles, flamcues, drags and standard rolls to create a march style solo, Beck uses simple but effective dynamic changes to give the work musical direction. After a short middle section which offers a timbre change of periodic taps on the rim, Colonial Episode drives to the final section with loud accented sixteenth notes and a "shave and a haircut - two bits" ending. John Beck's Colonial Episode never seems square and blocky as do many easier rudimental works. The musical development is logical and interesting and would prove to be a challenge for most junior high or high school percussionists.
