Zero-G is a relentless lot jam that has no chill! Debuted by the Bluecoats drumline in the summer of 2017, Roger Carter's advanced rhythmic language is on full display. This entire work is based on a simple syncopated theme in 5/4 where the beat is obscured by a single 16th-note rest, giving the listener multiple interpretations of the pulse. This theme goes through many transformations, adding diddles, singles, flams, and even a solo section to feature a different player in the line on each performance. With more notes-per-square inch than anything you've likely attempted before, this one will require focused commitment. No FOMO, bro!

Check out the 2018 Bluecoats drumline throwing down on this beastly lot jam!
This was the 60-second warm-up of the 1999 world-champion Santa Clara Vanguard drumline. Much more than just another "ram" warm-up, this piece explores rhythms that twist-and-turn in every measure. With extreme details in dynamics, phrasing, and various sound colors, "Mr. Adamson's Monkey" is sure to challenge you to a new way of listening to drumline battery music!
Now available by popular demand, "Ramrod" offers a super-sized serving of rammage. Originally heard played by the Santa Clara Vanguard, this was a meaty interlude within their aggressive show in 2003.
This 60-second warmup was heard played by the Santa Clara Vanguard drumline in 2002 written by David Reeves as a tribute to drum corps icon Ralph Hardimon, who shaped much of what people know today as the SCV percussion sound. Ralph Speak is a rhythmically complex piece which requires both chops and finesse to perform. For drumlines with brains and brawn, this piece is sure to lay it on the line!
