These books are for the advanced snare drummer. They are a fun collection of snare drum solos that Stuart Saunders Smith received from a handful of different composers. There are challenging time signatures, multiple time signatures in a piece, groups of 5’s and 7’s, strange grace notes, rolls, stick changes, and even some pieces of untraditional notation using symbols and words.

Student Reviews
I think this book is great. It’s difficult and inspiring. It’s not a book that works on this technique and then another one; It’s full of complicated solos that work on a combination of techniques. It’s for one who wants to play music and not only work on techniques or rudiments.
