Etude 4Etude 4 concentrates on moving quickly between drums. Again, I have purposely not included stickings so you can decide whether shifting, crossing, or double strokes will work best for you. Measures 10 – 17 are an excerpt from the solo The Black Hammock, which is located in the last section of the book. The etude should be played on the middle two drums. (26” & 29”)

Etude 19 Tympanic MetamorphosesThis etude is an ode to the timpani part from the 2nd movement of Hindemith’s Symphonic Metamorphoses. Tempo control, dynamics, and balance among all four drums is the focus of this piece. In measure 16 you can choose to use either cross sticking or doubles to play the repeated figure. Whichever you decide, be sure that the rhythm is even and all the drums speak the same. In the final section, work to get each dynamic softer than the previous dynamic. I like to muffle the C in the last measure while I play the D to really get that note to speak. q=128

Etude 26 Rolling Down the HighwayRolls are the main focus of this etude. The center section in 6/8 features a challenging passage of constant rolling while tuning. As stated in the first section of the book, always lead with the same hand as the direction you are moving. When moving to the right, lead with the right, etc. Work to make the gliss in the next to last measure decrescendo and place the last note right in time. Resist the tendency to let a space open up before the last downbeat.
