GlockosaurusRex Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) I'm currently trying to transcribe these drum solos from the 70's. If anyone wants to help, or has an useful info about them, it'd be appreciated. /> If anyone wants a copy of a solo once I'm done, eventually, just send me a PM or just reply here. I'm transcribing Snare, Toms, and Bass, and Cymbals for sure. I'm only transcribing Timpani for a few, and Mallets for even fewer. Anaheim Kingsmen: 1971 Yellow Submarine snare and tymp done 1972 George of the Jungle all (snare, trio, tymp, cymbal) but bass done 1974 Exorcist / Tubular Bells xylophone, bells, and tymp done Bayonne Bridgemen 1983 Black Market Juggler - arranged by Dennis DeLucia Bluecoats 1987 Autumn Leaves (instructor?) Blue Devils 1975 Billy the Kid - arranged by Rick O'Dello 1982 Paradox - arranged by Tom Float 1987 Echidna's Arf (of you) - arranged by Tom Float Freelancers 1976 ELP's Tocatta - arranged by Don Silva Garfield Cadets 1975 Afro Blue - arranged by Billy Gaeckle. bells done North Star 1978 Approaching Storm - arranged by Dave Vose snare and cymbal done 1980 COOKOUT - written by Dave Vose Oakland Crusaders 1976 Joropo Piropo - arranged by Terry Kirkpatrick / Tom Float Phantom Regiment 1978 Flight of the Bumblebee - arranged by Marty Hurley? Santa Clara Vanguard - Fred Sanford, Ralph Hardimon 1972 Tic-Toc / The Clock tymp, snare, and cymbal are done. 1974 Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra 1978 / 1979 Lezghinka all parts (snare, bass, cym, mallets, tymp) but tenors are done. 1980 Stone Ground Seven - all parts (snare, bass, cym, mallets, tymp) but tenors are done. Obviously, I'm a Fred Sanford fan. And luckily, I think there's more of his 70s solos than other writers.

You might want to check out Dennis DeLucia's stuff with the Hawthorne Muchachos and Bayonne Bridgemen from the 70's-80's too. There is more Bridgemen stuff available than Muchachos, given their timespans. 1982's "Black Market Juggler" is one of the great percussion solos of any era.

Ghost Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Damm! Thought you were going to ask about soprano solos. Well, at the 4:50 mark you can listen to Boston's 69 Unsquare Dance version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the great percussion shows of its day...what a shame the VFW made them take away the bells at champs. Ruined one of my favorite shows of 1969.

From that year though, if you can, give a listen to the Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights. That show is one of my all-time favorite shows ever, and their long drum solo is still one I can remember and (sort of) play...a great backsticking feature near the end.

Drumss Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Agree about suggesting Delucia's Muchachos and Bridgemen material (and not just because I marched in both lines!).... I believe the North Star Solo from 1978 may have been called "Cookout"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlockosaurusRex Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Sorry, I couldn't find the 1969 BSGK solo. :sad:/> And I think the 1979 or 1980 solo was called Cookout. Maybe they used the solo 2 years in a row. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hello Glockosaurus Rex. You have picked some great selections for your study. As for Garfield '75, that was Coltrane's "Afro Blue", arranged by Billy Gaeckle (former USMC D&B). I can put you in contact with him if you PM me. It was Jeff Namian who played the keyboard lead in that production. You may recognize that name from his outstanding subsequent career as a WGI instructor and color guard guru. SCV's "Stoneground 7" is usually credited to the late, great Fred Sanford of course, but was primarily the work of Ralph Hardimon, I believe, though they were collaborating, naturally. Interestingly, Fred wrote the brass parts which were later deleted. That full version can still be heard on the 1980 "State of the Art" mid-season CD.
