Performance Notes

 Rollin’ Together is a slower-tempo duet for two snare drums.  It is best suited for high school level percussionists.  While the tempo is slow, rhythmically, it is rife with 16th notes and 16th triplets. Rhythms in Meter Made range from ½ notes to 16th note triplets.  Most rolls should be played with a 1/16th note triplet feel.  Therefore, a roll for an 1/8th note will be a 7-stroke, a roll for a ¼ note will be a 13-stroke.  In the 5th and 6th measures after letter B, rolls should be felt as 16ths, making them all 5-stroke rolls.

 Meter Made is introduced in unison, in f.  Letter A alternates between unison and trade-offs.  Trade-offs are in full effect at letter B.  Letter C returns to unison as a segue to letter D.  Letter D introduces an interplay among the 2 snare drums, in p, with heavily accented flams.  Letter E is reminiscent of the introduction and is primarily in unison.  Careful attention should be paid to the dynamic changes here.
