Here is a series of videos of some of my favorite rudimental drum solos in a format where you can see the music and follow along. This solo, Licorice & Molasses, is from the John Pratt book 14 Modern Contest Solos for Snare Drum. It is currently published by Alfred Music. I highly recommend you buy the book as it is a classic treatise on rudimental snare drumming. I have recorded all of these as videos in the past on this channel. You can find them in my John Pratt Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_c8RjVWL5e8dw5qn-ThVMreHG5gFbxSZ The pad I am using is a vintage Quiet Tone Practice Pad from the 1980's. This pad is available from Sabian and is called the Quiet Tone Drum Mute Classic. The Sticks I am using are my own Black Wenge 77-gram reverse tip rudimental/concert sticks.
