General Info

Year of Composition: 2008
Publisher: C. Alan Publications
Difficulty: Grade 4
Duration: 4:15
Cost: $18.00

Instrumentation

Player 1: bass drum (kick or marching), hi-hat, snare drum, bongos, ride cymbal, hi-hat, crash cymbal, splash cymbal (may be shared)

Player 2: bass drum (kick or marching), 3 toms, snare drum, high conga, "popcorn" snare drum, China cymbal, crash cymbal, splash cymbal (may be shared)

Program Notes

Cohesion is a funky and fun-to-play multiple percussion piece for two performers. The core of the instrument setup is the mirrored placement of bass drum and snare, further augmented by an array of cymbals, toms, and latin percussion instruments. The many metric modulations and frequently changing time signatures keep the performers, and the audience, on their toes.

-== Program Notes ==
-Downshift is a set of three progressive solos for concert snare. Each is written to be performed along with the same play-along track.
-“Nerfed” - The easiest of the three solos. You’re a beginning percussionist or someone still pretty fresh on the drum, or maybe you’re a more experienced player that wants to brush up on fundamentals and just jam out with the track.
-“Buffed” - The middle child. You’ve been playing for a while and have some rudiments under your hands. You’re ready for more challenge.

-“Epic” - It’s pretty epic. You’ve got years of experience and can handle just about anything thrown your way. Good luck!
