The Blue Book - Rob Parks & David Ratliff
Hey there, sad news...we've shut down shop permanently. So you won't be able to score any drum gear via the website anymore.
A “blue book” is a booklet used by college students to answer test questions or write essays. The Blue Book is designed to provide music suitable for contest, audition, technique development, and just plain drumming fun! In a sense, these solos may serve as a test of your rudimental drumming skills. The Blue Book includes over 40 solos in a wide variety of rudimental styles ranging from beginning to extremely advanced. This collection contains rudimental snare solos, tenor solos, and bass drum ensemble pieces that will provide musically enriching material while developing technical proficiency.
Two dozen of the nation’s finest performers, teachers, and music industry professionals have come together to create this compilation. Collectively, these guys have:
- 78 years combined DCI performing experience
- 94 years combined DCI teaching experience
- 31 combined DCI High Percussion Awards
- 26 combined DCI World Championships
