The tight martial snare drum effect:
CINEMA
"The Wild Bunch" ["Main Title", "They Cleared Out", "Assault on the Train and Escape", "Angel Blows his Cork", "Give it to Him", "Adventure on the High Road", "Bounty Hunters", "Attempt to Save Angel", "Dirge and Finale"]
"The Getaway"
"The Super Cops"
Fielding also used the snare drum quite a lot in "The Outlaw Josie Wales", although more in a traditional way. Actually a whole lot like what one might hear in a program by one of those old
Drum Corps. (e.g. Star Of Indiana, etc.).

Shark, fellas - You think that Fielding was actually writing out those drum lines (Mechanic, Wild Bunch, etc.)?
Specifcally I am thinking about his "signature" military snare lines, and the rim-hits on Rooftop Chase.,
Although I referred to it as percussion "writing," I was actually curious about that aspect myself.
Did he write out every percussion part for each of his scores? Did he give the percussionists specific verbal instructions without writing out each part? Did he give them only general directions and the liberty to improvise? His approach may have differed from one score to the next, I don't know. Given that he had a jazz background, I wouldn't be surprised if he allowed some degree of improvisation (in his jazzier scores at least), but given the meticulous intricacy of the percussion parts in many of his scores, it seems like they almost certainly would have to have been written out for the musicians.
Is there anyone out there with more knowledge about Fielding's work habits who can enlighten us?
