The latest in my series of "Compositions of a Stupid Autistic Mind," which are either repetitive on purpose or are just stupid little melodies I improvise. Why? It represents the annoying things I used to do as a child, which proved to my parents I really am autistic. This whole series of compositions are based on dreams I have from time to time, which are flashbacks of my childhood. These repetitive melodies, therefore, are generally either things I improvised and they stuck with me, or were based on things I discovered I remembered wrong. Alternately, they're sometimes relevant to a current event in my life, or just represent what mood I am in right now. This series also is a challenge for me to use specific MuseScore templates at least once (although I also modify settings on the templates to make it easier on myself). That challenge is completed, though, so I'm now going back to templates I am used to, namely when there's lots of percussion.

"Hittin' 16" is a character piece (meaning I assign it to an OC of mine), and the OC it belongs to is Corps Coon. When he began writing music at the age of 5, he wanted to see how many percussion instruments he could use before it got irritating. Since he has Savant syndrome, it made life that much harder for him, but he got through the obstacles and it made him the raccoon he is today.

The piece is written for:

Battery percussion (snare drum, tenor drums, bass drums, cymbals)
Concert toms
Concert snare drum
Concert bass drum
Crash cymbals
Bongos
Congas
Timbales
Maracas
Castanets
Tambourine
Wood block
Bowl gong
