When I first heard Jackie Tar played by Stuart Liddell, I instantly loved the tune. Around that time, Steve Roy and I were exploring ways to incorporate backsticking into pipe band drumming, drawing on influences from jazz, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and other grooves. Steve’s work with the Bucketmen, which included Alexander Schiele the piper, and his rhythmic expertise were hugely inspiring.
I started backsticking as an exercise for jigs, especially the paratriplet, and re-arranged it to fit the backstick shuffle tune. We both loved the idea of backsticking in jig time, something no one else was doing, so I wrote backsticking parts for the jig and later expanded them to a waltz.
The two jigs, one with a traditional beating and the other with backsticking, became key experiments. On Troy’s Wedding, I focused on backsticking in jig time. Hearing Stuart Liddell play The High Drive in waltz time further encouraged me to push these ideas.
Blending these rhythms, tunes, and backsticking techniques became the core of our set. It was challenging to perfect, but Steve’s contributions, especially composing percussion parts, made the effort worthwhile.
The result was truly unique. I hope you agree! All the best, John.
