Foxtail | The Rudimental Drummer

In thie video, I perform the piece Foxtail from The Rudimental Drummer.
Foxtail is written in the traditional American style, expanding on typical vocabulary found in the NARD book. It is a short, sharp piece with a simple arrangement that presents a theme, expands it, moves away into a secondary theme, and then reprises the original theme for the ending.
The Rudimental Drummer is a comprehensive exploration and analysis of rudimental drumming. It explores the history and development of the vocabulary, its usage within the repertoire, and analysis the concepts from which those ideas arose. It also features 19 original pieces, of which this piece is one.
