Tapspace Drachten-Elisabeth by John Mark Reilly

John Mark Reilly's rudimental snare drum solo Drachten-Elisabeth has plenty of history behind it - this is a hybrid solo stemming from traditional forms but folding in orchestral, Basel, and Ancient shaped rudiments.

Drummers inexperienced with the 'old ways' will be given a crash course - there's a slight pause before all of the rolls, and flamacues are interpreted a little differently than they typically are today. This solo is a lot of fun for drummers who strive for absolute precision.

Add this solo to your collection if you want a new challenge or need something impressive and appealing (and short) for an audition.
