A Tribe Called Quads by Andrew Smit is designed to help the beginner-to-intermediate rudimental player get their start in basic marching tenor drumming. The book starts with a foundation of basic drumming skills that are then applied to various quad logistics, skills, and variables. Each solo addresses a new skill unique to tenor drumming while progressively getting more and more challenging. This book is suitable for private lessons or for sectional rehearsals in marching band or indoor drumline. A Tribe Called Quads allows students to be fluent in many of the motions, shapes, and overall vernacular of playing the marching tenor drums.
