Drums of the Saamis was commissioned by the Medicine Hat Concert Band Society of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. The piece chronicles the merger of the First Nation (first natives) and modern Albertan cultures. The opening tribal drums followed by the haunting melody simulating the traditional wooden flute comprise two themes that are the foundation for the entire piece. Both elements are developed, varied and enhanced throughout as the listener senses the increasing influence of modern day Alberta through the use of modern sounding chords and rhythms. By the end, the marriage of the old and the new is complete. This powerful work closes as it began; a restatement of themes representing the musical and historical foundation of the region.

we just did this for a band concert. It was amazing! A kid broke two drum sticks while playing it.
that’s so metal
That's how you know they're doing it right
Same. Broke some stuff just practicing this.
just how you know your doing it right
How did he finish the song?
This song is the reason I decided to join band... two years later it still evokes so much emotion and many memories, I just wish I got the chance to play it
We played this senior yeah and the ENTIRE band got into it. Very much a community song, we adored it and it was easily out favorite piece.
wow i played this in 7th grade!!
@@user-by2eb5on1u neat, I wonder if it was the same arrangement
I know I'm a *few* years late, but same thing here.. nearly a decade ago and I still remember all the new Trumpets and Trombones looking up to us two seniors telling them be bold, proud, brass and just absolutely proclaiming "here we are" at 2:30 ... man, the smiles on those kids faces
This song makes me feel sooo nostalgic.
I love Hazo's textures. So unique, yet balanced so well
Matt SLAZIK ikr
Periodt .
This is like montage music for some intense training
It was at this moment that all the trumpet triplets in the world converged in one location.
2:35 makes me proud to have played this on the Trumpet. Good throwback to nearly a decade ago and just letting the power flow
I love this piece. My band is playing it this year. We had our first read through of it today and it sounds absolutely amazing.
music4lyf799 That's funny I had my first read through of it today and it was pretty good. I love this piece😆

6 years later and I still love it.

Brilliant. My band played this song for contest and concert this year. I'm thinking about convincing my band teacher to play some of your songs!
My school's senior band is playing this for spring concert next week. Love the energy in this song and I'm excited to perform it. This professional recording is AWESOME!
6y ago- hows the concert go!!
My band is playing this tomorrow night in our concert and I'm so excited!!!!
This brings so many nostalgia:) I remember playing this for freshmen region band
My band is playing this tonight lol. #percussionrepresent
CalebTheMusic percussion is a big part of this song
CalebTheMusic represent us
I want to be percussion but I chose flute
Playing the toms that hard hurt.
Same
I played this piece for a concert over 3 years ago in my senior year of high school (I was lead flute) and over 3 years later here I am. Awake since 6 in the morning and texting my old band teacher to help me find this piece.
I discovered this song two years ago, and loved it. I forgot it, and it sat in the bottom of my playlist until last year, in 2019, when I rediscovered it's glory and beauty. I have now rediscovered it after filing through my playlists. This fits almost perfectly with Ghost of Tsushima, and I fully and completely love it. This and Japanese Folktale are breathtaking, so I must give credit where credit is due.
The trumpet part sounded really cool at the end
Our school band is not the greatest but when the director pulled out this song, we were amazingggg bc we all loved it so much!!
The tempo solo is one of the coolest solos in my opinion even with how short it is
what a coincidence.. ive been listening to this song for a while then it got played at my honor band
Sam Hazo conducted my band yesterday. Awesome experience. Really cool guy
I enjoy this piece a lot. My class and I are working really hard and are almost there. It too less than a month to do.
ur right it's kinda easy
Played this last year as a 1st trumpet, holy cow, I cant remember how me and the 2 other seniors felt after that last melody for the trumpets, I know we actually had trouble breathing and getting notes but somehow we pulled it off to win our music competition in Virginia, probably going to be the best thing that ever happened to any of us and I might come back in a few years to ask our band instructor to play this again
I love 1st trombones mix of melody and background in the piece, it's amazing to play
I just played this for concert band and it’s by far my favorite piece that I’ve ever played in my past ten years on clarinet:,) (it beat Argentum out as my fav lol)
Class of 2016 , up in here !
DarkHorse17 class of 2018
It's only lit when the BD has to explain how to drop with the Flute. It's important to note here that my BD does not, in fact, play flute, so it was fantastic watching him try to teach them something not even he knew how to do
I can confirm the percussion part is fun
We r learning this rn for contest, and I'm in love with it, and we just started today
This is one of the pieces I wish I had the chance to play
I played an interesting version for our concert this year, I ended up playing ContraBass Clarinet part. sounded so cool
If your reading this and listening to this piece you should check out due north it is really good and made for my home town in Minnesota
got a one at state with this 😊🖤
Freakin love this piece 👊 the trumpet part is so fun to play, I just adore it ❤

i do the drums part in band. We're gonna be playing this in a couple weeks! Incredible song, and so fun, when your'e playing the main parts:Drums (the base drum, in my case)
THIS SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE MGS THEME SONG
Triple fortè gong go brrrr
I'm pretty sure this song is the only reason we got unanimous superior at festival. Haha!
Lovely
This comment will probably not fit with these year old comments but we are currently playing this for LGPE and our band loves it
love this
I literally screamed in exited when I saw the triplets (trumpet)
bahahah the kung fu panda vibes from this song. we're doing this for our concert and im telling you it took blood sweat and tears to learn it 😭
I accidentally had this in 1.25x and I was not at all disappointed.
The piece is called Drums of the Saamis. The Composers/Arrangers name is Samuel R. Hazo. Coincidence?
Love Samuel R. Hazo! We just did Arrows for band. Such a fun piece. Trying to convince my band director to do this one.
Me and 1 other euphonium player.
Director: "you two back off." Were the only two euphonium players
Ahhhhh the memories of Band members saying Drums of the Salami
Are these midis
Why does this remind me of Kung Fu Panda
Crimson Flash probably the Chinese feel from the flute
3:32
Anyone from Acadia or FRC see my commont?
2:19
1:53
Is anyone else here for districts?
We’re doing this for a concert. I called it Drums of the Sans
Sounds like a dong that would be playing in how to trajn a dragon. Fast tempoed but also like each beat has long meaning
🅱ogdan
This song makes me feel sooo nostalgic.
