Drum Scores for Hornpipes & Jigs
Little did I know as a young teen playing
with the Dysart & Dundonald - the
“medley” was something that had only
recently been introduced to pipe band
competitions. With this came hornpipes and jigs.
There are scores in here for all levels.
Barbara’s Jig, Butterfingers, Banjo Breakdown, The King of Cardenden and Calum Beag nicely cover the thirty-plus years I have played with the SFU Pipe Band.
Drum Scores for the Intermediate & Advanced Drummer
There are so many great tunes…some
of which captured my imagination long before I ever put pen to paper. Classics such as The Conundrum, Shepherd’s Crook, Fiona MacLeod, and my most favorite tune of all, Lochanside, fill the pages of this book. Also included are the Marches, Strathspeys and Reels as played on the Green by the drum corps of the SFU Pipe Band in 2022 and 2023
Maple Glazed Tunes
Crafted with tunes and scores that have never been published in a book before, Maple Glazed Tunes is a journey that showcases the melodic genius of many talented Canadian composers.
With over 70 original compositions, which path will you take on this musical adventure?
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.
I hope these drum scores capture
your imagination the same way they
have mine.
