Mooneyham-Eckie’s Beat (SP)-Drumline

Eckie’s Beat is a syncopated, groove-based cadence by Caleb Mooneyham. Originally composed for the Mississippi State University drumline, the title pays homage to the geography of MSU. Eckie’s Pond is a quiet sanctuary on campus - one of the university’s oldest landmarks. The drumline’s walk to football games is known as “Eckie’s Walk” because it used to originate at the pond. Catchy and full of syncopated flair, Eckie’s Beat is sure to fire the crowd up at any occasion.

Eckie’s Beat ships as a printed, professionally bound score, and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or tablet viewing.
