A Tribute to Charley

A Tribute to Charley – 50 Rudimental Solos is Sperie Karas‘ salute to drumming legend Charley Wilcoxon. As a former student of Wilcoxon, Sperie knows his style and approach firsthand. The 50 musically detailed snare drum solos feature classic rudimental drumming à la Wilcoxon, but with a modern twist.
In addition to solos in 2/4, 4/4 and 6/8 time, odd time signatures are also represented, the pieces are dynamically refined, and meter changes or swing feel can be found as well as ideas for interpretation and execution on the drum set.
This opens up a contemporary perspective and provides a unique opportunity to improve your own rudimental drumming with new, inspiring impulses. Fascinating!
