count in 13/8, "It's in 4" will challenge you in good old common
time. Using a wide variety of stylistic approaches, "It's in 4"
was the SCV cadence in 1994 and 1996. This puppy never gets old, and you
can follow along with the groove in PARKING
LOT ETUDES on pages 18-25. This groundbreaking composition by Murray
Gusseck may very well be the most widely known and envied piece in modern
drum corps history! This is a recording of the world-champion SCV drumline
in Spring of 1991. Join the hundreds of other drummers who have challenged
