In our first ever concert snare drum "Vic Lick", Shaun Tilburg, Principal Percussionist with the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra, performs a short excerpt from his solo composition, "Ricochet".
As you work up this phrase, pay special attention to the relaxed Moeller motion between the rim and the drum! Also - no flams in the first 7 bars - the double stops should hit precisely together. Play attention to the playing zones in the second half to get the tonal variations from the drum.
ABOUT THE PIECE:
Exploring timbre changes with the "ricochet-like" Moeller motions, this "chop-fest" solo is an exciting new addition to the concert percussion recital library! Watch the full performance here:
