The Trooper | Iron Maiden
The Trooper, after Iron Maiden: an arrangement for percussion ensemble, published in the Hits in Percussion series.
Arranged by Sylvain Andrey. Iron Maiden's galloping riff, one of the most recognisable in heavy metal, brought to keyboard percussion for five to seven players. The drum kit carries the drive of the original. The forces adapt: glockenspiel, timpani and tambourine are optional, so the piece works with five players or with seven. The two marimba parts call for a four-octave and a 4.3-octave instrument.
