Funk No. 2 by Todd Ukena
Introduction
Funk No. 2 by Todd Ukena is an engaging and stylistically authentic drum set solo designed to immerse intermediate percussionists in the world of groove-based performance. Drawing from the rhythmic vocabulary of classic funk, this piece delivers syncopation, backbeat-driven motifs, and dynamic phrasing that offer both musical depth and performance excitement. Whether for personal growth or the concert stage, this solo highlights the expressive power of the drum set.

Published by Southern Music Company, Funk No. 2 comes in a clearly printed 4-page format, with clean typesetting and durable paper suited for daily practice or performance prep. The layout includes logical phrasing, performance markings, and stylistic cues that help drummers interpret the nuances of funk. The concise length makes it easy to incorporate into lesson plans and recital programs, while the quality printing ensures readability and resilience under frequent use.
Performance and Use Case
This solo is ideal for drummers at the intermediate level who are building groove control, phrasing, and stylistic fluency. Its compact form is perfect for music festivals, school auditions, and percussion recitals.
