Escape Artist - from 'Beyond Basic Percussion'

From the new compilation for young percussion students, "Beyond Basic Percussion" by Eric Rath and Ralph Hicks.

Escape Artist • 6--7 Players
The last piece in the Beyond Basic Percussion compilation, Escape Artist brings together all the concepts into one creatively articulated work. Young percussionists will have to rely on ALL their skills to make it through this one!

To all the people saying that these kids are very talented, yes I agree, but not everything can be achieved just by "talent". So let's appreciate the HARD work that was put into learning this piece!! Thank you.

These kids are very talented. It sounds very good. Love the instruments used.

My percussion section did this for our concert and I got to play the xylophone and triangle and it was very fun to learn. The percussionist did way better than we did, there is a ton of talent.

I'm in middle school and in the varsity band and we just got the music today for this

[Allons-y.]

Omg I played this in my middle school percussion ensemble (I was on bells) and I’m still obsessed with it-

[cloud-o-roma]

Music to my ears. Im a young percussionist myself!

[jaxthehyena]

I begged my instructor for this music!! I got the snare/hihat/china part!!

[Spituo]

My high school percussion ensemble is playing this and we sound no where near as good!

[FearoxVR]

[Leokipo]

I have an ensemble to play Mi Milagro with three people, but when I’m in the higher level band (wind ensemble) the symphonic band gets this one. Is this one harder than Mi Milagro?

[stephanieBrown-gx]

was nobody on snare chinacym and high hat

[rdragon]

the snares and bass should play louder when they come back in

[millsfamily]

Flutes: UGH seriously, Trumpets?! You blast all the time!!! Don’t you have any respect for any other instruments

Me, a trumpet player: * looks at the percussion* yeah... I don’t think I want to challenge the percussion ._.

[nytro]

aye I play snare, hat, and crash for this song

[rachelmills]

This is exactly why I don’t mess with the percussion (I’m a trumpet player)
