Notes & Instrumentation
Three Grooves are exactly what they say. Each groove explores a different rhythm/feel based around the compact set up of snare drum, bass drum, and hi-hat. Once you play through these three groves, you will find it very difficult to stop.

Program Notes
Three Grooves was written with the idea of being portable and exciting to play. Usually multiple percussion solos call for a large variety of instruments. However, the composer of this piece wanted to have a work which could easily use instruments that are found in a band room or from a drumset. These grooves are challenging yet fun to play. Throughout the three grooves the performer will be faced with shifting time signatures and occasional use of independence within each hand. -

Percussive Notes New Literature Review
The three movements in this unaccompanied multiple percussion solo (set in three movements) might be performed as a suite or as individual pieces. They are each about two minutes in length, with numerous changing meters. Sounding somewhat like the rhythms of a marching percussion trio, the marked stickings are very rudimental in nature and could serve as an introductory multiple percussion solo for the high school or college solo percussionist.
“Groove #1” is 45 measures, “Groove #2” is 47 measures, and “Groove #3” is 61 measures. This set of multiple percussion solos will certainly challenge the intermediate level percussion performer, and they might also provide audition selections for the college-bound percussionist.
