Tompkins-Paris (a/b)-SD/P

Paris was originally written by Joseph Tompkins as a snare solo with kick drum accompaniment (Paris a). The piece was completed in Paris, France in 2015, and was revised for Marc Damoulakis in 2017 for a masterclass at the Paris Conservatory. Paris(b) is an orchestrated version of Paris(a); the same material is played over a set of 5 temple blocks and a basic drum kit. This piece was inspired by the drumming of Chick Webb.
