This cadence for advanced battery percussion highlights a wide range of textures, from layered ensemble grooves to accented unison impacts and vocal calls. With its use of dynamic effects, shifting subdivisions, and bold cymbal work, Ex Cathedra is more than a cadence—it is a performance piece that demands both precision and musical authority.

Ex Cathedra is a cadence designed to make a bold and authoritative statement for the drumline. The Latin title, meaning “from the chair,” traditionally refers to a leader’s formal declaration, and here it reflects the commanding presence of the music. This piece impresses not only through its rhythmic complexity but also in how its grooves connect naturally to the physical pulse of marching.
