Mitchell Peters' Hard Times is a collection of twenty difficult etudes for solo snare drum. The technical demands of each etude primarily relate to the use of changing meters (6/16 to 4/16 to 5/16, etc.) as well as uncommon, asymmetrical rhythms (e. g., 4 against 3 in a context of 5/8). In other words, the performance of these etudes demands mental-musical sophistication as well as superb manual technique. No single etude is more than two minutes in length, and each etude is clearly printed on one page, thus eliminating any page turns. This collection will challenge the finest percussionist and is definitely advanced compositional literature; however, any one of Mitchell Peters' etudes would be excellent snare drum audition material. - James Lambert, July 1985[1]
