I also noticed that there was very overt usage of stereo. Like a back and forth kind of thing at time. Which is interesting because the composer has to be using two mics for this, and is consciously considering this as part of the recorded piece. Even if one calls this piece fragmented, it's still quite composed.
Wow! Every now and then TH-cam's recommended videos get it just spot on. That was an absolutely amazing piece, outstanding performance, and also kudos to the sound engineer for the perfectly executed recording. It sounds great on speakers and even better on headphones with the wide stereo image. I'm definitely sharing that, and subscribing so I can see what else you guys are up to.
Oddly satisfying, unique but brilliant, its like you are inside Jupiter's hurricanes, or like how water droplets are falling down, the echoes are bouncing through and throughout your ears that made your head goes completely hypnotized by it sounds.
When Gene asks to borrow your kit... Yeah sure what do you need? Just the floor tom shell, bass drum and snare. Oh just the floor, kick and snare, sure. Don't scratch it though. The skins will be fine.
I'm really curious... would the likes of Autechre and Aphex Twin be influences on your work? I've not heard much like this before and those are the closest neighbours I can think of to the way your music ebbs and flows, almost following rhythmic patterns like trains of thought and letting them drift in and out of focus... are your roots purely classical or is there some electronica in there, too?
Hi David - interesting...we definitely have a wide arrange of musical interests and influences, but probably not specifically those groups you mentioned. Pop, electronic, sure...I can see that.
It's a superball mallet. It's kinda like a mallet with a bouncy ball on the tip. When rubbed against some surfaces of drums or cymbals, it can lead to some pretty weird sounds.
Hey Gene! Me and my friend just got this awesome piece, and wanted to know how you personally work through it, both as a group and individually. Since a lot of the duet consists of rhythms split between players, what do you think is the best way to tackle this in initial practice?
Thanks! We always practice and rehearse together, from the beginning. We might spend an initial session individually to work out any major logistics, but then immediately work on the piece as a group. This way the piece always exists as a whole and never two different parts. Work slow and understand the composite from the beginning, which will require a lot of compromise from both parties. Record your sessions a lot and listen together. Best of luck!
Gene Koshinski thanks! And one more question.. how did you get the drum shell to stay secure to the cymbal stand? Ours keeps rotating around when we try to do the circular motions
Is it harder to follow than to lead when doing percussion splits? Or is the person 'following' (say, one sixteenth behind) just doing their own thing maintaining their own sense of meter where they don't see themselves as operating in between the beats? If the latter, I guess the notation would compensate for the offset? I'm probably thinking about this in too simplistic a light given I'm just a strings player.
Hey Gene, just posted a video of my friend and I performing this duet! I'd love if you could check it out! Thank you for writing such a cool piece of music!
Pearl M1040 "Sopranino" snare. 4x10" maple shell w/ no re-rings... I believe they're discontinued but probably not too hard to find one used or make on your own.
Why would you video a 180° camera location flip? So jarring! And I'm paying attention to the audio not the video. Can't imagine what a videographer would think
can't imagine how this is notated
Literally :)
it will be easier reading dr notes
Its regular percussion music, but written in hieroglyphs
"play dragon yawning sound here..."

When the drum line doesn’t like you & your friend’s battle ideas, you make your own band.
*finishes performing*
Me: "Wow, that was amazing. What's the name of that song?"
"I was just checking the instruments."
it's like the most intricate secret handshake
You have some really innovative ideas
Hey thanks!
the calando between 2:47 and 3:10 is... exquisitely performed
I've watched this a few times, but now with my GOOD headphones. Man, sounds freaking excellent.
Thanks buddy!
So fun and interesting and well played.
I am lost for words. Just absolutely amazing skill and beautiful to listen to too.
I played this on my senior recital at university. Easily one of the most complex and challenging things I have ever played
Wow! Every now and then TH-cam's recommended videos get it just spot on. That was an absolutely amazing piece, outstanding performance, and also kudos to the sound engineer for the perfectly executed recording. It sounds great on speakers and even better on headphones with the wide stereo image.

STOP
NOBODY LIKE IT
IT'S PERFECT
Was it at 360 likes when you made this comment?
Chris Hillmann honestly... i dont remember 😅. What a good reason to rewatch the piece and appreciate it though
Great performance!!! I can't imagine how many hours they have rehersed to play this piece !!!
Very unique and creative! Great job guys. 🤟🤟
Magnificent percussions !!!
Very clever. Very listenable!
This is awesome! I am going to be stealing some of those sounds!
"Why do I always gotta be the up-beat?! ☹"
"IT WAS MY IDEA I GET THE DOWNBEAT"
"No, it was MY IDEA. So I get to call dibs on the DOWN BEAT"

Brahms Abraham woah trippy
WOW ! what a fantastic piece of music ! I LOVE IT !! good job !
2:37 this part is making me dancing ! COOL part !
Ohhh guys! This is epic! :D Will be revisiting some now and then or maybe even just play on repeat to hear and learn by heart ;'D
Très créatif et super performance! Wow!
I can hear some Steve Reich influence! Beautiful piece!
Splendide pièce exécutée avec perfection!!
Love it!! Well done gents.
Very nice! And a very musical composition ...
This has to be the only forum in classical music where that gold sparkle finish is ok on a tom shell
Гармония - основа СМЫСЛА!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can't wait to buy this
Nice job, guys. Fun to watch!
Fantastici.
Phenomenal!
incredibile!
Just discovered you, very cool stuff! Great playing and super creative. Keep on making new stuff!
Belle performance - bravo
Bravi!
Bravo!!
When Gene asks to borrow your kit...
Yeah sure what do you need?
Just the floor tom shell, bass drum and snare.
Oh just the floor, kick and snare, sure. Don't scratch it though.
The skins will be fine.
Wow! Reading that score must be like trying to read chicken tracks.
0:30 ここのキメカッコ良すぎわろた
えぐすぎる
なんともいえん快感…もっかいスティック握るか
Genius
It's very original y would like listen another composition with that hollow drum.
GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Aside from this being awesome as all hell, my favorite part is percussionists pretending to read music.
Wow.
que maestro
2 guys 1 drum
¡AMAZING!!!
How many drums did they have to go through to find the one with the right sound? 😂😂
Dang!

David Cantan this totally sounds a lot like some Aphex twin. very good assessment.
I wanna see someone try and transcribe this
I love this piece. Great work!
ps. I am getting an ASMR-like itch from listening, anyone else?
Anazble same here! I’d love to fall asleep to this
خیلی خوب بود it was Great i can hear it several time wiithout any stoping.
What is being drawn across the snare head at 3:48?
It looks like a rubber mallet (probably soft) normally used for xylophones or similar instruments.
It's a superball mallet. It's kinda like a mallet with a bouncy ball on the tip. When rubbed against some surfaces of drums or cymbals, it can lead to some pretty weird sounds.
omg I have found the origin of Civilization 3's soundtracks
subscribed this is awesome. more werid shit please. SO GOOD!

As a friend of mine said, it's easy if you count (we posted the quote in our band room)
Your comment didn't make too much sense. But the upbeats (in between beats) are much harder to play than the downbeats.
Great stuff, guys! Do I hear some Varese in there?
epico
1:07, 00:44
Geniale
How is the circular part annotated?
O
tabs pls
Neat
Hey Gene, just posted a video of my friend and I performing this duet! I'd love if you could check it out! Thank you for writing such a cool piece of music!
I'll check it out - thanks for playing it!!
What the ice says before it comes out of my fridge
JordanK illian why do you keep ice in a fridge and not a freezer?
85ddrummer well it’s in the freezer part of my fridge. But I just call the whole thing the fridge
what kind of snare drum is Tim performing on?
Pearl M1040 "Sopranino" snare. 4x10" maple shell w/ no re-rings... I believe they're discontinued but probably not too hard to find one used or make on your own.
I honestly can't imagine myself listening to this on my way home...
It's impressive nonetheless though.
ちなみに楽譜てどんな風に書かれてあるんですかね
For some reason I wanna see TwoSet react to this 😭😭😭😭
Vedere un percussionista leggere lo spartito deprime molto
???????? hhhoooh ho ho h hoqqq how????!!?
Why would you video a 180° camera location flip? So jarring! And I'm paying attention to the audio not the video. Can't imagine what a videographer would think
Danny Carey played it better
These guys have too much freehand on their times
LAAAAME!
Bunch of nonsense
