Charley Wilcoxon, The All American Drummer, Solo #1 at 102 BPM

Wilcoxon starts the book out with this beautiful little solo. Stickings are a big part of the feel of his pieces and need to be followed. Solo #1 contains flam accents, flam paradiddles, a flamacue, hand to hand flams, paradiddles, a triple paradiddle and single strokes. I particularly like his use of accents here and how he reverses the figures at the end of line 1. That, along with the accent patterns in the last 2 lines gives the solo a slight bit of swing feel. As with many of his solos, this one translates nicely to the kit.
