You won't get much of a shake, maybe only one "battement", but that would be enough for the effect. But if the band is a "basic" band, maybe they won't have the chops to do it at that tempo. A pro band will do it regardless.

I writing a piece for basic stage band instrumentation, wherein the tempo is a half note gets 84 (swung). Is it feasible for brass players to do a shake (Jazz Font Symbol # 113) on a quater-note at that speed? The quarter is followed immediately by an accented eighth on a downbeat, if that matters.

Thanks,

Dean
