Petite Suite

$8.00

A 1989 publication, ‘Petite Suite’ is a duet for early intermediate snare drummers. But it’s not just a “straight” snare drum piece. In it, Kettle introduces developing players to the use of different areas of the drum, a variety of different strokes and the notation used to indicate these variations. This is not only an excellent pedagogical tool, but also a charming piece!

Rudimental Rascals

$8.00

Rudimental Rascals, dedicated “to Solo and Ensemble Festival Adjudicators Everywhere,” includes some great musical jokes. The tempo marking is “a shaky 108”; the piece begins with an audible count-off in the wrong rhythm; the players strike themselves and each other; a stick is dropped. But it’s not just fun! The piece is also challenging technically and musically.
