Slawson-Strum (SP)-B/V/C/X/M/4T/DS/UKE/opt. BG

Strum by Brian Slawson pays homage to the golden age of pop records with its format, chord structure, and pumping “four on the floor” rhythm. Catchy and toe-tapping, it would make for a great concert opener and/or audience warmer.

Scored for pitched percussion (including timpani) and drum set, it also features a detuned ukulele that sets the mood and pulse throughout the piece. An optional electric bass part rounds out the low end. The two marimba parts can share one low A marimba.

This piece ships as a fully bound score or as an instant PDF download for printing or tablet viewing. Individual parts come exclusively in PDF format.
