O'Hara-Falling In Place-SD/BD

In this solo, I strove to create something unique and challenging for the performer. My goal was to blend my many different influences and to blur the lines between the classical percussionists and drum set players. A lot of' the solo is groove based, while also incorporating phrases and rhythms influenced by American rudimental playing and Joseph Tompkins’s French American style. By doing so, I hope that people from many backgrounds can put their own interpretation into this work. I hope you enjoy Falling In Place.
