Parthun-Big Three, The-SD

This solo by Jeffrey Parthun presents the "big three" rudimental types: rolls, flams, and paradiddles. Solo uses rolls of various lengths, flams, flam accents, and flam taps, and single and double paradiddles that occur in different places in the measure and between head and rim notes.

This piece is part of the Good n' Easy Solo Series for The Developing Percussionist by Jeffrey Parthun. This series of easy solos composed by Jeffrey T. Parthun, Sr., an experienced music educator, percussionist, and composer, is a most welcome addition to the teaching and performance literature for the developing percussionist. Useful and enjoyable material for students young and old alike, these solos are both musically interesting and technically rewarding.
