Difficulty: Easy (great for junior high, high school & college steel bands)

Drifting is a laid back Bossa Nova that clocks in around 3.5mins in length. There are 4 distinct musical phrases to learn. The first is a characteristic bossa rhythm shared by all except the basses. The second is a flowing melody played mostly by the tenors and passed to the seconds at the end. The third helps build the tension up to the chorus. The last distinct section at letter D can be thought of as a chorus but it is a laid back glide instead of your standard highest and lowest section being the chorus.
