Skjelbred-3 Grooves Quintet Version (SP)-V/M/P

3 Grooves for percussion quintet was written by Bjorn Bolstad Skjelbred with the intention of bringing some of the beats and intensity from pop/rock/jazz music into the world of contemporary percussion music. The patterns are very short and easy to get hold of and the pieces are written within a certain technical range, so they should be possible to play for young percussionists.
