Saturday Distraction – Ensembles
This week I’ll be giving you a few drum ensemble clips to check out. Drum ensembles are tricky to arrange for, so I have the utmost respect for anyone who writes or performs this music. Here are a few different ensemble styles that may pique your interest.
Hip Pickles – a stripped-down drumline:
STOMP – Eight talented musos that play junk percussion – literally anything that’s available!
The Drumbassadors – drum kit duet:
The Blue Man Group – can only be described as ‘different’:
and finally, a short film from Sweden entitled Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers:
One day I’ll get around to writing some ensemble music…
Enjoy, kids!
