Performance Notes
The snare drum, bass drum and percussion parts are duplicating a drum set pattern. Keep the tempo moving and the beat steady.
Letter A: The percussion parts should make sure to let the mallet parts be heard. The rim shot in measure 16 (and again in 28) of the snare part can be created either by hitting the drum head and rim at the same time with one stick, or by putting the bead of one stick on the head at an angle and striking it with the other stick (known as a stick shot).
Letter B: Percussion players should carefully count rests to make sure all parts are played at the correct time.
