Il Vaso Di Alabastro

Here is the first place winner of the 2015 PAS Italy Composition Contest. A unique multi-percussion duet centered on two snare drums that are mounted snare side up. Various sonic effects are created by playing on the snare strands themselves as well as on the upside down batter head. To this amalgam is added two pedal bass drums, two concert bass drums and bongos. The rhythms are often intricate and interlocking between the two players. This is a challenging duet suitable for accomplished percussionists.
