DAILY DRILL
for winds and percussion
DAILY DRILLS STUDENTS WILL LOOK FORWARD TO!
From the minds behind the popular Five Minute Drill and Nine Minute Drill warm-up routines for percussion comes DAILY DRILL — a collection of fundamental exercises for full band with wild-yet-groovy play-along tracks. Replace the “click-click-click” of a metronome with actual music composed in styles ranging from funk to mambo to dub step … and beyond!
Designed to supplement traditional band methods in the classroom — or for use during sectional rehearsals or private instruction — DAILY DRILL provides a fun alternative to running wind drills the old-fashioned (boring) way.
The DAILY DRILL program includes:
- Eight diatonic exercises in all twelve keys to cover important scale and arpeggio fundamentals
- Chromatic exercises in B-flat and F
- Transposed scores for all exercises, including eight percussion staves
- Downloadable play-along tracks to all exercises in a fun variety of styles and tempos (tracks with and without the melody included)
- Fingering charts for wind instruments
- Scale appendices
- Downloadable PDF charts for tracking progress through the exercises for both teachers and students
No more bored percussionists during wind drills!
DAILY DRILL features comprehensive percussion parts that will engage students much more than other band methods. Every exercise includes the following percussion parts:
- Two- and four-mallet keyboard parts (with intuitive technique graphics to aid in four-mallet development)
- Three parts for practice pad (levels one, two, and three)
- Seven percussion accessory parts (suspended cymbal, bass drum, crash cymbals, triangle, tambourine, castanets, and woodblock or cowbell)
Whether the next performance is in two months or two hours, music fundamentals are key ingredients for achieving confidence in performance. With DAILY DRILL, mastering these fundamentals has never been more … fun! All DAILY DRILL books ship as physical 9” x 12” books and include downloadable audio play-along tracks in high-quality M4A format and printable PDF data tracking charts.
