Neufeld-Stick With It (SP)-4SD

Matt Neufeld wrote Stick With It to address a gap in the percussion repertoire: beginner-level ensembles that develop snare drum fundamentals and basic rhythm skills. Each of the five movements aims to strengthen a particular skill set, and they may be performed separately or together in any combination. This suite is ideal for beginning players, methods courses, or sight-reading material for more developed players!

The individual movements focus on the following skills:

I. Repeat After Me — basic independence, eighth and quarter note rhythms, dynamics, technique fundamentals

II. Sixteens — basic sixteenth note groupings

III. Roll On — roll technique and metering rolls

IV. Say That Again — more advanced sixteenth note groupings, rolls, and playing on the rim

V. Flumpty Dumpty — 6/8 time, flams
