Information-
All arrangements are done with Sibelius 7, Logic Studio 9, and Tapspace Virtual Drumline 2.5. I can fill any void you have in your design process, from conception to instruction. Whether you need a full percussion arrangement, or simply one part (battery or front ensemble), I can help you. I also have many colleagues that can help design a show from top to bottom.
Here are some samples of my writing-
DRUM CORPS
Phantom Regiment - Dies Irae
-This clip has the front ensemble balanced higher in the mix so you can hear it all. Does not contain the electronics mix that was in the finals performance. Instrumentation—5 Marimbas, 4 Vibes, Glock/Xylo, Timpani, Rack, Synth. (brass arr. J.D. Shaw, battery arr. Shane Gwaltney)
BAND
Franklin High School - Libertango
-This clip is from FHS’s 2011 production of Astor Piazzola's Libertango. This is for a large band, with a large percussion section, with moderate electronic involvement (using an iPad as a sampler) (wind arr. David Aydelott, battery arr. Michael Holland)
Franklin High School - Electronics Sample
-This sample is from a section of the show that they wanted to have Dubstep (electronic) happen alongside the very traditional tango, "Por Una Cabeza". Turned out very hip! This is also done with an iPad. Each sample is sent as an aiff file digitally, for you to load onto your own device. (wind arr. David Aydelott, battery arr. Michael Holland)
Columbia High School - Rocky Point Holiday
-This sample shows a standard arrangement, with only a synthesizer as the electronic voice. (wind arr. Terry Jolley, battery arr. Trey Cokeroft)
WINTER DRUMLINE
Seminole High School - Flow
An original composition by Matt Jordan. (battery arr. Shane Gwaltney)
Solace Indoor Percussion - Breaking Point
An original composition by Matt Jordan. (battery arr. Shane Gwaltney)
