Performance Notes In order to maintain the rhythmic, tempo, and contour specified, the choices of drum and cymbals used throughout the piece are up to the performer. Additionally, please feel free to experiment with type(s) of mallets used throughout.

AfterHours Notes: All slurs indicate phrase markings to better explain the phrasing I had in mind. Also, I'm more concerned with the tempo, rhythm, and contour of the lines; Please feel free to experiment with using different drums/cymbals that are indicated, and you can choose what mallets you feel fit best with this.
