Broadway Musical Repository
Drumset & Percussion

This page is intended to help other percussionists and drummers to navigate the tricky world of Broadway musical scores. Drum and percussion books can be vague—particularly during incidental music and underscoring—leaving performers a great deal of room for interpretation. These videos exist as references for other drummers and percussionists as an example of how I've approached these charts, but are by no means the "correct", or only, way to play them. I'm frequently adding more musicals to this repository.
