Falling Leaves is a challenging piece for an advanced snare drummer who wants to be pushed technically, musically, and creatively. This would be perfect for an audition.

Kettle’s ‘Four Solos for Snare Drum’ use various playing areas of the snare drum, as well as an assortment of sticks, brushes and bare hands in order to maximize the timbral possibilities of the snare drum. This is a challenging and musical work, well worth the attention of the serious snare drummer. ‘Four Solos’ was published by Studio 4 Music in 1987.

Highly recommended by both Neil Grover and Gordon Stout, ‘Intermediate Snare Drum Contest Solos’ not only provides the junior high or early high school level snare drummer with musical compositions to perform for contests or auditions, the pieces are designed to teach dynamic subtlety and control of accents and stickings.

Nine Lives is a snare drum solo in the rudimental style based on a Turkish Romany “gypsy” rhythm called the Roman Havas?. The original rhythm is usually played on the darbuka/doumbek to accompany dancers.

A 1989 publication, ‘Petite Suite’ is a duet for early intermediate snare drummers. But it’s not just a “straight” snare drum piece. In it, Kettle introduces developing players to the use of different areas of the drum, a variety of different strokes and the notation used to indicate these variations. This is not only an excellent pedagogical tool, but also a charming piece!

Rudimental Rascals, dedicated “to Solo and Ensemble Festival Adjudicators Everywhere,” includes some great musical jokes. The tempo marking is “a shaky 108”; the piece begins with an audible count-off in the wrong rhythm; the players strike themselves and each other; a stick is dropped. But it’s not just fun! The piece is also challenging technically and musically.

The Second Petite Suite takes up where the first Suite left off. It introduces one new effect and one new notation indication and is slightly more difficult. As with the first Suite, the movements may be performed individually or as a group.
