The Piper of Drummond

⚡ The Short Version

A great D throw workout. The tune is full of D throws, so it's a perfect vehicle for cleaning them up — keep them right on the beat, not early.

Learn one bar and you know the second part. Nearly every bar in part two repeats elsewhere in the tune — really the only new material is the first bar.

Watch the F-to-B strike. And the high A to low A drops for clean fingering — both are common spots for a peeling finger or a squeal.
