Tapspace Breakdown by Bradley Slayter

Breakdown by Bradley Slayter is the wake-up call you need in the middle of a concert: a rocking percussion quartet that relentlessly grooves for four minutes. Mostly in 4/4 and 7/8 time signatures, this piece is all about interlocking four separate parts into one thick groove.

A group of four intermediate percussionists will have fun putting this together while learning how to 'play like one instrument'. The piece comes with a full, bound score and a data CD that contains an audio recording and digital copies of each part.
