Alfred Music A Tribute to Charley at a Glance

​​​​​​​Alfred Music A Tribute to Charley is a collection created by Sperie Karas, a student of the renowned drum teacher and author Charley Wilcoxon. Wilcoxon was famous for his focus on rudimental drumming, emphasizing percussive techniques as essential building blocks for complex rhythms and fills. He also composed numerous solos and etudes based on rudiments.

This edition modernizes rudimental drumming by including 50 dynamically worked-out solo pieces that provide innovative and inspiring ideas for drummers. Alongside solos in traditional 2/4, 4/4, and 6/8 time signatures, the book features odd meters, meter changes, swing feels, and concepts for personal interpretation on the drum set. It’s designed to take your rudiment playing to the next level and reveal new dimensions of your drumming technique.
