Talking Sticks Vol. 2: each Composer: Krohn Matthias
Includes 101 duos from intermediate to advanced levels. Some duos feature room for improvisation. Also includes eight double bass duos.
TALKING STICKS is a giant collection of drum set duets - in two volumes! It starts with easy pieces and progresses to music with complex rhythms and styles. The individual parts in each duo have comparable levels of difficulty, so that drum sets 1 and 2 can easily be interchanged. All duos are excellent recital pieces, each lasting approximately 2-3 minutes. Great for group lessons - these duos can also be used as a reference for grooves and fills. Includes play-along CD's covering more than seven hours of music with two different tempi for each duo! This well-designed collection is a reflection of the authors 25 years of concert and pedagogical experience.
" . . . written to satisfy the needs of students everywhere who love to play drums together with their friends, their teachers and other students. It is also for teachers looking for appropriate literature for exciting ensemble playing at all levels of difficulty. A high priority is for the players to have fun with a good groove!"
