Number of Players: 2 Instrumentation: snare drum, floor tom tom and suspended cymbal Difficulty: Beginner
‘Duell’ is of course a battle between the two players on the snare drum and the floor tom tom, and the music is equally effective if played slowly or at a more energetic pace. The student is introduced to overlapping rhythmic passages, question & answer phrases, Grande Pause bars, Dal Segno, Coda and also a very atmospheric section that uses the elbow to change the pitch of the two drums. The music is good fun to teach, and great fun to play!
