Description

Make sure to maintain a smooth “groove” throughout, when the Snare Drum, Ride Cymbal, Claves, Cabasa and Marimba are playing the straight “time pattern”, (ex: bars 3-4). (The Marimba plays the part of a bass guitar and should “lock-in” with the other players.) Pay close attention to dynamics and the “road map”, (D.S / Coda). If you are including the tom part, be sure and keep an even balance (volume) between Snare Drum & Tom throughout Letter C. We hope you enjoy performing this holiday treat!
