Snare Time: Ten Solos for Snare Drum

Denis Stilke Sound Samples: The Flea Spirit of Japan Up & Down
A diverse collection, great for contests or recitals! Each solo makes use of a different set of technical challenges. Includes performance notes for each piece in German and English. adv. high school/college.
"The pieces I am presenting here originate from my work with snare drum rudiments, snare techniques, which I found especially exciting. My intention was not just to put together some complicated figures, but rather to get a musical idea going that is developed, varied or contrasted in the course of each piece. The result is music of great intensity. Working on these pieces is easiest and the most fun with well developed technique. This means having a thorough understanding of the rudiments, and the ability to play dynamically. With that in mind, this collection can motivate you to try out what you can do already, improve on the weak spots, and, last but not least, be creative yourself!" . . . Denis Stilke
Spin Cycle (2006): 12 Solos for Snare Drum
$22.95
Brett William Dietz
Challenging collection for solo snare drum.
"These twelve pieces are a written commitment to my first instrument – the snare drum. For many years, I felt that solo pieces for the snare drum were too limited. After writing works for orchestra and wind ensemble, as well as smaller chamber pieces and solos for other instruments, I came to a point that I felt confident enough to compose something for single rhythmic lines - appropriate for snare drum." - BWD
