Skip The Intro

Solo: Grade 5

Here is an ideal dreamlike composition for any drummer or percussionist. With 'skip The Intro' he or she can let loose. Most composers write the drum part only at the end of the composition, but here it is just the other way around. The rock or pop composition starts immediately with a drum solo. Only then does the orchestra join in. After that, the orchestra and the percussionist alternate in a kind of dialogue form with questions and answers. The complete percussion part is written out with all notes, but of course the experienced percussionist may interpret or improvise himself.
