Tailgate Smoker is a collaboration between Fat Matt Drums and Drumline Hits, and I am especially pleased with how it turned out. My ideas in this thing kept feeling stale the more I tried fleshing them out, but adding some fresh blood to the mix really did the trick.
Organized into seven movements and clocking in at a whopping 2’24’’, this piece will give your line lots to say and plenty to play to bring that heat on game day! Weaving between intricate licks and heavy grooves, this cadence offers enough to satisfy any fan’s hunger for beats, and the structure affords for easy adaptation to suit any performance venue. Whether a passage is simple or complex, challenging or repetitive, the faithful execution of dynamics by the ensemble will be crucial to the effectiveness of this music.
Sheet music is packaged as a PDF binder including a score, printable battery parts, and optional parts for 4-drum and 5-drum tonal bass lines (original arrangement is for 6 bass drums).
