Synergetic Simpatico

Using the drum set and multi-percussion setup, this advanced duet unites two different parts of the percussion world: the drum set as a contemporary percussion instrument and the multiple-percussion setup as a groove-oriented instrument. An explosive introduction leading into a more contemporary writing approach to the drumset. The second section contains a fugue-like passage featuring five voices that eventually play all at once. With a metric modulation to signify the end of the fugal section, the piece then picks up speed, driving until the end. This last section demonstrates the groove possibilities of the multiple-percussion setups. For very ambitious players, a challenging and rewarding performance is offered while providing audiences with an unforgettable experience of percussive artistry in its most intricate and modern form.
