Beat That Drum

Mambo Jambo
By Kevin Tuck

Program Notes

Beat that Drum and Mambo Jambo can be performed as two separate
pieces, or as one longer drum salute.
These pieces were written for a small drum corps of six snares, four trio tenor
toms, and two Bass Drums.
It can be adapted to whatever combination of instruments are available for
your drum line the bigger the better!
Stick Tricks are at the discretion of the director of course standard
backsticking is used in the snare feature in beat that drum.

Composers Note:
I am no expert on drum corps! This was written for my little Australian school
drum line because I couldnt find anything they could play easily and enjoy
at the same time. I dont profess to be an expert in this style of playing, so
please excuse any errors in my writing for the genre
It is deliberately written in a very simple style, with minimal rudiments.
Please enjoy playing this piece!
