Chicken and a Biscuit is a phrase used as a teaching tool for one of the most common drum fills in funk and reggae music. The piece draws inspiration from traditional drumming styles such as Samba and West African Djembe drumming. It also pays homage to great percussion composers, John Parker and Tania Savage, who have created drumming pieces that are the staple of high school percussion music in Brisbane, Australia.

As always, the aim is that the ensemble has fun and enjoys the groove. Coming from a long background of Latin and African drumming styles, the piece was written with heavy emphasis on feeling the rhythm and hearing all the parts lock in.
