I absolutely adore this piece. Most snare drum pieces sound like peas being poured on a snare drum. This is inventive, musical and dynamic. I shall be buying this for my performance diploma I plan to do.

This is how progressive and creative percussion should be done. This wasn’t innovative for the sake of innovation. This was pure passion for an idea and it was executed brilliantly.

Because SO many people ask: The stick is made with a 3-inch spring doorstop attached to a standard drumstick. The doorstop is found at a local hardware or home improvements store (Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, etc). Availability really varies in countries outside the US. The doorstop comes with 1 screw to mount the base of it to the stick. Some doorstops come with short screws and some come with longer ones. The screw should not go through the stick. So, you might want to switch out for a shorter screw if necessary. It's also important you pre-drill a small pilot hole, otherwise it will be very difficult to screw it to the hardwood stick. I've tried dozens of doorstops and some are better than others. They also stretch over time so older ones become more flexible (give it some time). It is best to find a model that had a wider base and goes to a thinner end (rather than those that a skinny throughout). It's ideal to try a few different kinds. Some of the best options I have found are from Menards - just like this: www.menards.com/main/tools-hardware/household-hardware/door-window-hardware/doorstops/national-hardware-reg-brass-spring-door-stop-2-pack/p-1444448889247-c-9686.htm?tid=-1250888735025165460&ipos=85

It’s a swish-kabob stick

yo this is ridiculously good! it's so full of character and movement and fun! Really gives off a "getaway driver" vibe, for me at least.

David Bruce brought me here and I'm very glad of it. Now hearing the whole piece in context I feel it's not only a brilliant example of original approach to the instrument but doffs it's cap ( or perhaps subconsciously ) to the traditional music and instruments of Brazil with a more straight/classical feel - IMO. Great work - loved it!

All the experimental sounds are fascinating

Awesome piece! I like the incorporation of hand drumming techniques, with the inventive tool adaptations and of course the very cool composition. Well done!

This is the first solo snare drum piece I listened to more than once

This was fantastic! More percussionists need to push the boundaries beyond what the west has come to expect from the instrument. As a drummer, I'll find the sweet spot on several pieces of furniture in my office, and get a nice little melody going - just like I used to do before I took my first lesson. Benny Greb has done some really nice stuff in his DVDs, showing the rhythmic potential of car doors and coffee spoons, etc. This composition is spot-on in terms of creativity AND replayability. Thanks for posting it!

Unlike anything i've ever seen before so cool man! I love the sound of pearl snares!

It may just be because quarantine has completely destroyed my sleep schedule and I’m very tired right now but a lot of this felt like asmr lmao

Amazing how musical this performance is

This is one reason I love percussion. We're literally all innovative racket makers. You can't come up with something like this without just constantly going around beating and banging ON AND WITH random items. In case doctors haven't noticed, THIS IS the cure for ADHD. HAHA! Love the creativity and skill. Major respect!

Easily the most creative snare drum solo I've ever seen. Bravo 👏👏👏

Wow, love this - like that the drumstick was marked "innovative Percussion" - so fitting for this piece.

Instant subbed for the uniqueness of this

Great to see somebody still pushing the boundaries of an instrument

I'm blown away. Percussive. Musical. Innovative. This was amazing. Thank you.

I really love how you have one part to which u occasionally come back when it's not directly expected and it allways makes me smile when u do that. Not only in this piece but in any one you play it's a cool thing to do.

I feel that this is what a cat would play if it was a percussionist

I love your compositions! There is no end to your creative ideas for extended technique! 🙏🙏🙏

So much control and speed! Really nice and great ideas too!

Mind blowing!!! Really pushed the boundaries of music

This is like the epitome of ASMR drumming.

That’s fantastic! A unique concept, great performance, and fantastic tones. 👏🏼

I never suspected that so many different textures and sounds could come out of a single snare drum! Amazing!

This outstanding drummer took "textural drumming" to another level! Bravo! Wonderful playing!

I'm really enjoying your incredibly inventive percussion compositions and superb playing skills!

What a master playing a masterful piece. Most excellent man!

I made a piece with 10 of the flex door stops and a scrap piece of 2x4. Placed in 2 rows of 5. Drilled a hole in the middle and mounted it to a cymbal stand. When swiping a drumstick across the tops, it makes a vibra slap type sound, which I like. I have a vibra slap mounted on my conga rig, but it's difficult to hit it with a drumstick accurately on my regular drum kit. So I improvised and it works quite well.
