Street Beat 2020 was written for J.L. Mann High School in Greenville, SC. This quick jam is super simple to put together, but it grooves well and is a great addition to any high school or middle school drumline. With bass parts written for 3 bass drums and cymbal parts with no splits, the instrumentation is very flexible for any size drumline.
