A drum cadence: “a drumline piece played in a parading marching band between or in place of full-band pieces”. Cadences, are also: “a chant that is sung by military personnel while parading or marching”. Cadenza is a part of music with solo improvised or written. Mix all off this stuff and play.
Theory
- A study of the Rudiments used in foreign military drumming styles: a pdf file with 18 gold pages. A deep study of european military traditions (from France to Duch, from German to Scottish) in drumming, drums notation and rudiments. Leading to a 57 international rudiments system

Hi!!! im from a small town and we need drastic help with our percussion section! we have gone throught 7 band teachers in the last 5 years and this new band teacher sucks. we are going to need a cadence in between songs for our homecoming parade and we need to get started on it ASAP!!! we are probably going to have 3 snares 1 bass and 1 quad. do you know any good cadences? last year we had a simple one for the snares. it was 1&2&3&4e&a 1&2&3e&a4 1&2&3&4e&a 1e&a2e&a3e&a4 and repeat this year i want a harder one… PLEASE HELP!!!
