The Final Round

Here is the second-place winner of the 2015 PAS Italy Composition Contest. In this challenging solo, several different contrasts in timbre are achieved by using the normal playing area as well as the rim area, the addition of rim shots and stick shots for aural punctuation, and the pitch bends via changing the pressures on the drum head, all contributing to make this an very interesting piece for study and performance. It will make a great recital work for intermediate to advanced  performers!
