ootG

ootG (OOT-jee) by Roger Carter is an advanced marching battery feature premiered by the Bluecoats drumline in their 2025 season warmups. Inspired by music from Tigran Hamasyan, the piece relies on a hefty rhythmic vocabulary and accent displacement.

Like Carter’s other contributions to the modern drumline repertoire, ootG is equal parts technical workout and crowd-pleasing performance piece. Whether you’re polishing audition chops, looking for a fresh warmup jam, or simply studying the writing of one of today’s most influential battery composers, this piece delivers nonstop intensity.
