Hi,

You are on dangerous ground when you try to second guess the director. The director is the only one that has the sense of the overall sound and balance and asking for a specific articulation goes with the job (right or wrong).

I have conducted as well as played this section with two Bbs and then 2 eefers (a totally different sound that is pretty neat). A beefer will never sound quite the same. Also, I have never played or heard any pulsation with this part. That would seem to be an incorrect interpratation but should probably be a very light sound much like what a snare would make playing the even 8th notes softly and closer to the edge of the head. IMHO the melody line that comes in during the next few measures should prevail without a change in dynamics by the eefers/beefers.
