"Drum-e Piece No. 1 centers around the rhythms in the first two measures along with shifting accent patterns. Throughout the work, a solo line is prominent while the other two players are providing an accompaniment. During the various solo lines and accompaniment, the accent shifts to each sixteenth note of the beat. Communication between the three performers is crucial because of the constant changes within accents. There are three main sections to the piece: a loud unison opening followed by a quiet section on the rims of the drums. The final section brings the performers back to material of the opening and closes with unison patterns."-Ian McClaflinNumber of players: 3Difficulty: IntermediateInstrumentationPlayer 1: conga, snare drum, bongos, splash cymbalPlayer 2: low tom, snare drum, 2 high toms, splash cymbalPlayer 3: kick bass laid flat, snare drum, 2 medium toms, splash cymbal
