Große Schlagzeugnacht

Tonight is the first of three Große Schlagzeugnacht(s) in Stuttgart..

I get to hit a tam tam and a gong at the same time with metal bars( along with 11 other percussionists!!!) in a piece by Xenakis called Persephassa,which requires players to be dispersed evenly around the performing space
Its VERY loud and brilliant :-)
also
I get a waterphone solo... courtesy of...
Richard Waters who invented the instrument :-D

and i get to play my bodhran :-D


EXCITED!
