Rumble of The Drum by Tobias Brostrom

Rumble of the Drum by Tobias Brostrom is a technically challenging but musically interesting work for solo snare drum. Each of the four contrasting sections focus on a different musical concept that performers will need to master.

The first section features severe dynamic changes and metric modulations. The second is heavily rudimental with a march-like feel. The third section is free and cadenza-like to give the soloist some breathing room. The final section is a recap of the march, with a striking coda to finish off the piece with a bang!
