Turn your drummer loose! If you’re looking for a feature for your drummer, you found it with Little Drummer Boy. Although traditionally a holiday title, this very clever arrangement by Joe Jackson will sound great 365 days a year. Written in the style of “Cute,” this is a great vehicle for brushes, sticks and swinging ensemble and has tremendous potential as showstopper at a concert or festival. Packed with dynamics, simple syncopation figures, a trumpet solo and plenty of space for the drummer, Joe did an outstanding job with this arrangement. Don’t miss this one! (4:44)
