Apprentice, The

Danny Raymond

Easy Snare Solo

Instrumentation: 

• Concert snare drum

The Apprentice, by Danny Raymond, is the perfect choice for a new performer. The piece explores simple themes and variations through dynamics and easy sticking patterns. The tempo is a controlled 124 bpm, so the performer will have a fair amount of space between the notes to practice his or her tempo control!

This piece comes as a bound folio containing the sheet music, performance notes, a notation key, and even warm-up exercises specific to the piece! This solo was extracted from Danny’s 9-solo compilation DVD “Let It Rip.” The DVD contains not only printable PDFs of the sheet music and performance videos of each, but also tips & tricks, warm-up exercises, interviews, and more.
