{"product_id":"eagle-a-place-for-everything","title":"Eagle-Place for Everything, A (Scottish drum line versio) (SP)-SD\/P","description":"The title is inspired by the phrase, \"A place for everything and everything in its place,\" which is credited to the liberal Scottish author and reformer, Samuel Smiles (1812-1904). This advanced work of fused drumming embodies the phrase as it makes use of different facets of rudimental drumming and styles including Scottish, Breton, Swiss Basel, Orchestral, American Fife \u0026amp; Drum, and contemporary American. Stated by composer Michael Eagle, \"While the 21st Century percussionist is increasingly expected to learn more and more, these various rudimental languages can and should have a place in our individual pursuits.\" Originally composed for The Ruff Drags Drum Corps, a fusion-style performance group created by the composer, featuring Scottish snare drums, 5 Scottish Tenor Drums, a Scottish Bass Drum and an American Fife \u0026amp; Drum Rudimental Bass Drum. The piece is also arranged for percussion quartet and can be performed with conventional orchestral instrumentation or found instruments. Performers are required to have a firm knowledge base of the aforementioned styles to appropriate each segment. Compositionally, the piece is developed from the group's namesake, a Ruff and a Drag, two rudiments used in nearly all styles of drumming. Structurally, the five segments are: an introductory March; a Breton dance, Ronds de Loudeac; a 6\/8 half-time shuffle; a Scottish 'tap-buzz' groove with visual features; a Swiss Basel Rigodon (or Tagwacht); and a flourish of contemporary American drumming. This piece was premiered at the 2014 Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC) as part of a featured presentation by the composer and performed by the Ruff Drags Drum Corps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of players: 1+\u003cbr\u003eDifficulty: Advanced\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation\u003cbr\u003eSnare drum solo\u003cbr\u003eScottish tenor drum\u003cbr\u003eBass drum","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43798403121206,"sku":"0712 BAC","price":14.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/eagle-place-for-everything-a-scottish-drum-line-versio-sp-sd-p.jpg?v=1773361729","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/eagle-a-place-for-everything","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
