Samba Reggae

This cadence is based on a brazilian musical style called Samba Reggae (pronounced "Samba-Hegay") which originated in Bahia, Brazil, and is a mixture of Brazilian Samba and Jamaican Reggae. This has quite a different feel that most "traditional cadences" and will definitely get the crowd going!

Price: $12

 

 

The King's Road

This beginning / intermediate cadence is a throwback to old school military style snare drumming. It begins very regal and majestic before ending with a funky finish!

Level - Beginning / Intermediate

Price: $12

 

The Alamo

This is a fun, easy cadence that will get the crowd going every time!

Level - Beginning

Gilligan

Since I couldn't write a bass drum cadence to the opening theme of "Lost", (could anyone?) I used the theme from the other show about a group of people stranded on a tropical island.

Level - Intermediate/Advanced

Price: $12

 

 

Goose

Level - Intermediate

This cadence was originally performed by the CSUN Matador Drumline We used to scream "Goose" on beat 4 of the 4th bar in homage to the bottom bass drummer.

Price: $12

 

 

Santa Barbara

Level - Beginning/Intermediate

This was originally written as a "mass drumline" cadence, so it works with as many as 14 bass drums, 20 snares and 12 tenors, but it works just as well with a "normal" size line. I have used it both ways and it works just fine.

Price: $12

 

 

1608

Level - Beginning/Intermediate

I could say that this cadence was dedicated to the "Jamestown Fire", or Captain John Smith's release by Powhatan, but it is actually a 16th note groove cadence that was last revised in 2008.

Price: $12

 

 

Hamster Dance

Level - Advanced

This is an advanced cadence that was inspired by the internet sensation and by my son's pet guinea pigs. (He hates it when I call them "hamsters.")

Price: $12

 

 

Comfortably Numb

Level - Advanced

This cadence was originally played by the CSUN Winter Drumline.
