Instrumentation: Bongos/Timbales, 4 High Tom-Toms, 4 Low Tom-Toms, and 4 Bass Drums. As the title indicates, this challenging workout is a fun-loving exploration of the almighty 8th note in a variety of patterns and textures. Complete with setup and performance suggestions, it’s written in three sections with contrasting characters -- the middle section features short improvisations by each member of the quartet playing with fingers only! Duration ca. 8:00.
