title: "Bulldog"
description: "Bulldog is inspired by Shosti and our jam time. The content of the piece
is based on paradiddles in various forms, and includes rhythmic grooves
and patterns that represent things I associate with the bulldog
“freestyle”. Within paradiddle groupings of different lengths, there are
variations of voicing, sticking, and patterns. One versatile thing about
paradiddle language are the funky grooves that emerge when extracting one
voice/hand, especially when juxtaposing over a contrasting but steady
pulse. Like an English bulldog, the piece is intended to be fun, sturdy,
thick, short and sweet!"
