Beat keys to simulate drums. Don't blow through the saxophone. Seal off the mouthpiece with your tongue to increase resonance.

Page four is a simulation of a drum solo. By beating various keys on the saxophone, drum-like sounds can be produced. For example, beating low Bb will simulate a bass drum, while hitting the F key will produce a snarelike sound. Follow the suggested fingerings to produce the different drum sounds. The keys need to be hit loudly in this section so that the ‘drums’ can be heard. To increase resonance, close off the end of the mouthpiece and the reed with the tongue.

The ‘Wa Wa’ effect on page five is achieved by alternating between the two given fingerings. The rhythm must be kept constant to provide a contrast with the changing articulations.
