DUNCAN LEE PLAYS THROUGH EXERCISE 2 FOR THE GRADE 7 DRUM KIT EXAM

Exercise 2:
This piece displays strong use of Soca groove while displaying a range of flam based rudiments and stroke roll phrasing. Make sure to build excitement in the crescendos to bring the stroke rolls to life around the kit. Take note of the 1st and 2nd time bars on both occasions and catch the fortissimo in the final bar to bring the piece to a firm close.
