The Bang. series is designed to sequentially introduce developmental reading, technical concepts and expressive direction. In volume 3, timbre and duration are explored with players being asked to rub as opposed to hit instruments. Groove, funk and rub away!
Percussive Arts Society (USA) ‘Percussive Notes’ review (John Baldwin)"...The “Bang” series is a collection of four works designed to sequentially introduce developmental reading, technical concepts and expressive directions…. [Bang volume 3] is very useful, both pedagogically and for performance." Percussive Arts Society (USA) ‘Percussive Notes’ review (Josh Gottry)
“...Bang. 3” forces students to focus on the specific concept of note length through the use of brushes on drumheads or textured surfaces [and] is a welcome addition to the literature considering the unique and engaging approach to an often-neglected part of percussion notation."
