Drum Scores for the Beginner & Intermediate Drummer
The melody of songs introduced
to me by my Gran, and tunes
dating back to my early childhood,
form the foundation of scores in
this book. Songs such as A Scottish
Soldier, Killiecrankie, Bonnie Dundee,
and Campbelltown Loch, I knew
long before sticks made it into my
hands. Chorrichollies, Teribus,
Colin’s Cattle, Castle Dangerous,
The Keel Row and Lexy MacAskill were
tunes that saw me well grounded in
the great melodies of pipe band music.
I hope these drum scores capture
your imagination the same way they
have mine.
