The actual sounds of the drums and the natural techniques that occur from the mallets used (stick-bounces, mallet sliding on head-bends pitch, hands dropped down, dead stroke, etc.) really dictates the direction of the piece. This is ultimately all dependent on the player's unique hands but conformed to the limitations of each beater used. While every note is written out, there is a certain freedom allowed for each player, which makes this in some ways, an autonomous composition.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePremiered in 2007 at The Juilliard School by Joseph Pererira using 4 bongos and 4 resonant toms. This piece utilizes many extended techniques in the approach to the drums. Muffled tones, dead stroke, harmonics and vibrato create many new timbres and combination sin this work for 4 dry toms and 4 resonant toms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Players: 1\u003cbr\u003eLevel of Difficulty: Grade 5\u003cbr\u003eInstrumentation:\u003cbr\u003e4 dry toms\u003cbr\u003e4 resonant toms","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43798400434230,"sku":"0665","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/pereira-word-of-mouth-p","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
