Ralph Speak - A Twisted 60-Second Warmup for Fearless Drumlines

David Reeves

This 60-second warmup was heard played by the Santa Clara Vanguard drumline in 2002. It was written by David Reeves as a tribute to drum corps icon Ralph Hardimon, who shaped much of what people know today as the SCV percussion sound. Ralph Speak is a rhythmically complex piece which requires both chops and finesse to perform. For drumlines with brains and brawn, this piece is sure to lay it on the line!
