This production was at The Ahmanson Theater in 2023 and is a brand new orchestration. It won't line up with any percussion parts for any other production.

Ever since I discovered west side story: percussionist's perspective, I find myself coming back again and again to see different videos of yours, especially west side story and the see you tomorrow snare playthrough from how to train your dragon

This seems fun (and a bit stressful). Great insight, thank you Joe!

[@TheDrivenDave]

Wow Joe, I didn’t realize the kind of terror you guys go through. That change in the beginning from mallets to drum set was intense. Really terrific playing man!

[@gorpand]

That is fracking insane. I hope you get paid for doing the work of 10 people. The labor union should look into this. This seems more difficult than flying the Harrier jet.

[@octavianorogesmusic]

Wow! I played Neville Craven a year ago! Magical show!

[@30stm30stm]

Bravo!

[@leoneltimpani07]

What are the mallets you used for Suspended Cymbal?

[@djcata7474]

Fantastic! love your videos, your west side story is still a go to

[@andreiter]

No rehearsing and nursing our part, we know every part by heart 🙂

[@Mr.RedRhino]

Do you arrange your parts yourself? I feel like they sound more like they were written by a percussionist than a composer
