Inspired by the famous Rudyard Kipling poem, (or maybe it was the movie) this cadence was first written for and performed by the John Burroughs HS Drumline.
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 great!

This is a throwback to old school military-style snare drumming. It begins very regally and majestic before ending with a funky finish!

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.
