All-Star Sports Pak: Quad-Toms Book

These arrangements solve a real scheduling problem: you need something sharp, recognizable, and fun that doesn't demand hours of rehearsal time. Story packs genuine musicality into each short chart, so your quad section gets to play substantive parts instead of filler.

A non-stop parade of hooks and energy. These arrangements grab familiar melodies and strip them down to their most rhythmic, dynamic cores. You're playing the skeleton of the song, not the whole body, and the result feels tight and immediate.

Marching and pep bands that need reliable, energetic material for game days, parades, and events where short bursts of music matter more than extended charts. Quad players who want repertoire that lets them drive the groove rather than serve a supporting role.

• Lock into the written rhythmic figures early in rehearsal. Many of these tunes are built on specific grooves that define their character, so precision here pays off quickly.
• Balance the tom colors across your quad. Story writes for all four drums, so make sure each voice sits in its own space rather than blending into a wash.
• Lean into the dynamic markings. These arrangements thrive on contrast between sections, and your quads are the perfect voice to drive those shifts.
• Use the lyre-size format to your advantage during transitions. The compact book makes quick changes possible, which these shorter pieces demand.

Pull individual charts throughout the season as needed for specific events: football games, basketball halftime shows, parade season, or pep rallies. The 12-page lyre-size format means you can rotate selections without carrying heavy books, and the variety ensures your quad section always has something fresh on deck.

• Reading and executing syncopated rhythmic figures across four drums
• Listening for and maintaining pocket feel within a drum line
• Responding to dynamic shifts and driving energy changes
• Executing rapid transitions and quick chart changes
• Balancing individual tom voices within an ensemble texture
