Editorial Reviews

Andrea Byrd, Modern Drummer, November 2000
“A snare drum CD? It’s about time...Hear how versatile and musical the snare drum can be with dynamics, snares off, brushes, stick clicks, etc...

Product Description
Finally there is a professional recording of classic snare drum solos! OPEN-CLOSE-OPEN is an invaluable resource tool for percussion teachers, band directors, and students. Twenty great solos, masterfully performed on a Gladstone snare drum, are conveniently presented in chronological order. The first six contest solos also include traditional fife and bass drum accompaniments. Complete with historical notes, this CD is a must for every snare drum enthusiast.

5.0 out of 5 stars A+ Snare Drum Work!!!, May 24, 2001

By	Jim Johnston (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada) - See all my reviews

This is a fantastic album. It's an absolute must for any student or enthusiast of drumming. The snare drum solos on this recording are executed flawlessly and serve as an excellent study reference filling a real void. Mr. Gauthreaux has obviously spent a lot of time working on his craft. There are some wonderful classics performed, including 'Three Camps', 'Downfall of Paris', and my favourite 'Grandfather's Clock'. The sound of the recording is also excellent and very "true" to the instruments used (love that Gladstone Snare). It's about time somebody recorded these solos - great job!!!!
