Performance Notes
Make sure that dynamics on all pieces are adhered to as closely as possible. This will bring the compositions to life and add a great degree of musicality to the indefinite pitched nature of the solos. The notated stickings make the pieces playable within the parameters of the designated set-ups; therefore, they should be executed as notated (much as in a rudimental solo). Each solo can be performed with sticks and does not require any implement changes. Tempos are suggested for each piece but are negotiable based on performer ability. It should be noted that the solos are designed to be played from only three different set-ups (with the exception of solo #10 which uses all of the instruments in the first nine solos). This makes it very feasible to play all of the solos on a concert with minimal changes. As a matter of fact, every solo can be played from the set-up designated for Solo #10 making an evening of "Multiplicity" possible with no set-up changes at all...as it should be! Happy drumming!
