Quadratics: The Multi-tom Focus is a book geared toward the marching tenor drummer as well as the percussion instructor and composer. The book shines light on subtleties often overlooked by composers such as flow and counter-melodic lines. These ideas will also help behind the drums as the drummer can uncover new capabilities within their skillset. Quadratics is designed specifically for more advanced drummers. This allows the content of the book to merely touch on basics, identifying a starting point, and push forward from there. The flow of the book inclines similarly to a standard drumline warmup structure. Several parallels can be drawn in order to create a complete learning experience.
