Difficulty: 1.5 – This is a fairly simple and catchy cadence that utilizes 16th note rhythms, single strokes, double strokes, and paradiddles.

Difficulty: 3.5 – “Nebula” is a driving, upbeat cadence with a lot of energy. The fast tempo provides a challenge, but it should be quite attainable for an intermediate level group. Instrumentation: snare drums, multi-tenor drums (quint-toms), bass drums (4 or 5), cymbals.

CADENCE WEEK, DAY #2
Today is the second day of Cadence Week! Enjoy!
Difficulty: 1.5 – The cadence’s title “B.O.A.T.S.” stands for Based On A True Story. (You’ll have to guess what the story is!) It’s a fairly simple groove, and it focuses on ensemble interplay. This would be great for a young drum line that wants to grow as an ensemble—or for a more experienced drum line that wants something catchy they can learn quickly.

CADENCE WEEK, DAY #1
Today is the first day of Cadence Week! Each day we will be posting a new cadence. Here’s the first one. Enjoy!
Difficulty: 1.0 – The cadence’s title “A.D.M.” stands for Acoustic Dance Music — in contrast to E.D.M. (Electronic Dance Music). The rhythms are inspired by something you might hear in E.D.M., except everything is performed acoustically on drum line instruments. The cadence is intended for younger developing groups or as something simple for more advanced groups to learn quickly. Whatever level your group can perform, it’s fun to play and hear!
