Evelyn performs Prim by Askell Masson. Filmed in 2006
This is a specially made snare drum by Black Swamp called 'The Bling Drum' due to the quasi diamonds/gems on the actual shell. One can separate the shell in order to change the sound and resonance.
For those of you who have asked - the sticks are from ProMark bit.ly/12kWVKX

Good luck with the drumming and thank you for your kind comments
phonemal most amazing snare drum playing I have ever heard in the 64 years
Hi Dame Evelyn. I'm a teacher in New Zealand and we have been studying your life and works. You are an inspiration and the students have really enjoyed learning about how you overcame obstacles to become a world class musician. The control you show in this piece is amazing. Thank you :-)
Evelyn Glennie is truly one of my biggest inspirations. She shows me that there is no excuse to be anything less than a fantastic musician. Her speeches and lectures inspire me everyday to open up emotionally when I perform.
Thank you so much for putting this performance on You-Tube. My family and I attended your concert at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall recently and we all had a wonderful evening. I particularly enjoyed this piece. I will now be able to remind myself of how you entertained the entire audience that night.
Hätte nie gedacht, dass ich mal über 10 Minuten nur einer snare drum lauschen würde, aber was E.G. hier zeigt ist spannend, hypnotisch und außerordentlich musikalisch.
I first heard Evelyn a couple of days ago and now Ive started learning the glockenspiel and my room's cluttered with cymbals, drums, coffee cans, bells, and anything else I can hit that makes sound. Also, my wrists are kinda sore.
I could feel the music I love the most; the rain falling down.
Thank you for accepting the invitation to T.E.D. Evelyn. I'm pretty sure that people will always thank your contribution to music.
Glennie, thank you very much for every note that you played on that snare..it's a true emotion..
Hi Evelyn, my dad says that what you do is noise but I think it's art! I admire your work, kisses from Mexico.
Ms Glennie, you are a true inspiration. Thank you for everything.
Evelyn, I found you through the TED talk you gave and am absolutely thrilled that I did! I am now a huge fan of yours! My aunt is deaf as well and plays piano and I am continually inspired by her. I wish she and you could meet. You are amazing and I am so incredibly blessed by your speeches and music. Thank you so much for what you do!
Evelyn, i'm a guitar player and i really love your work, you are a total inspiration, honestly, thank you very much.
I remember seeing you performing this piece in Graz a few years ago - I almost fell out of my chair. I was totally blown away.
Just absolutely .. amazing..
Powerful, subtle, riveting, and inspiring.
Awesome! Love everything you do.
beautiful, sublime, and dynamic.
Breathtaking performance, thanks for uploading!!!
Thank you very much! I also very much enjoyed this performance
That was literally amazing!!! if you are ever in new hampshire we will pay whatever you charge for a master class at plymouth state university. Im so glad my teacher showed me this!
Saw you play the 3 Spires concert about 20 years ago. You have been inspiring me ever since.
Beautiful!!
YES! talk about the longest most controlled drum roll! WOW!
Hi Anastasija
The sticks can be purchased from ProMark, (the link is above in the video description)
They are signature drum sticks called Millennium 2 model and i use them 99% of the time. Thank you for your kind comments and please no dying!!!
@PaddyHarrison1986 Thank you Paddy for your very kind comments.
Evelyn Glennie your just crazy good.
@Moog168 This is a specially made snare drum by Black Swamp called 'The Bling Drum' due to the quasi diamonds/gems on the actual shell. One can separate the shell in order to change the sound and resonance.
This is an inspiration to any drummer in any application.
@HiddenOasisProd Thank you so much for your kind words
Fantastic. I discovered you through a link from the TED talk and as a beginning drummer I had to see and hear more. I am blessed having seen this. Again, fantastic!
Yaaahh!!!... Big GROOVE :-)) You like nobody else.. Always!!!
Heart...Passion..and Power....Simply "FANTASTIC".
I Hope to see you as soon as possible!!.. good luck for everything.. CIAO
Tarcy
Absolutely amazing I love it have a merry musical Christmas!
@toseethisstuff Thank you for your kind comments. I too am looking forward to performing with RTE NSO.
@xavipercu This is a specially made snare drum by Black Swamp called 'The Bling Drum' due to the quasi diamonds/gems on the actual shell.
Saw you in Dublin last week with the NSO. Wonderful concert. Thank you so much for coming. You've now also become my girlfriend's hero XD
@xavipercu The shell can be separated in order to change the sound and resonance.
Hello Jonathan. Thank you for your comment. The answer to your question is a very complicated one because there are so many variables. The weight of the stick, the tension of the drumhead, the way the stick is held, the force of the strike and the tension in the drummer's hand all have an impact on the rate and number of bounces you will get from the stick when you hit a drum. I don't know for sure what the maximum number of strokes is, but I would be interested to know if you ever find out!
That ending dim was amazing. It must have been atleast two minutes long. I've got the music in front of me, and all of these little things like putting your palm slightly on the head really makes it live more. Really great playing. Making snare drum music geniunely interresting for that long is a feat, and you pulled it off. Thanks
Magnificent
Your a master Evelyn,Nice piece :)
My inspiration, not to mention a great sense of humour.
Hi Joao, thank you for your very kind comments. I have always been the sound creator, musician then percussionist. Freedom is key for me as it allows constant experimentation even towards notated music. I know when my musical garden requires weeding or attention and that’s when I’m the percussionist. However, as the sound creator I plant seeds and as the musician I see what grows.
Hope you can make one of the concerts coming up in August in Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte. Best wishes
@Moog168 that's what I wonder. It's amazing sound.
Bravo! Very nice!
We watched a video about you in percussion class today. You are super cool and awesome
Hello Evelyn,
This is positively one of the most beautiful pieces of music Ive heard on any instrument bar none.. Bravo!
Thank you Fess04!
Evelyn: you are a lesson from life. Really a master musician and inspiring and encouraging everyone, specially musicians. You made me to think and feel outside of the box. A real sensitive perspective to the music and specially, drums and percussion. Keep it that way.
Mindfully and greetings. Martín, musician -drummer and percussionist- from Argentina. Hope you to come here sometime.
Hi Evelyn, Im a big admirer of yours.For you virtuosity and discipline ,musicality yes.Also given your unique set of circumstances.Perhaps in some way Identify with you as I was born with severely dislocated hips and have had difficulties most of my life.When others mention this to I choose not to define myself by this,so forgive if that makes you feel uncomfortable .The only reason that I mention this is that I am a percussionist, composer , arranger , I also play piano and have written several feature film scores.I consider my physical challenges a direct incongruity ,and in theory, an in compatibility to my skills ,facility and choice ofinstruments , yet , it works,most of the time,Just as , one would imagine , auditory challenges(which youve obviously deftly kept at bay)challenges that you have faced.Keep up the great work , youve gotten me interested in mallets again, as I more recently have been playing piano and kit (love playing jazz,when Im not writing for film or eclectic stuff,or pop tunes).Forgive the voluminous post,I like what youve done for the music/percussionist world!Keep up the good work.G.
Hello Gary, thank you for your kind message. I applaud your effort and your commitment. You are absolutely right not to define yourself by your physical challenges. Keep up the good work!
I was watching a performance in Japan similar to this video...
At that time, after hearing she is on CD "Prim", very nice sound and technique, 'How did she play ?' I was looking forward very much.
However,,, just like this video, she was only made the improvisation that is based on the "Prim".
This performance is different at all from the score. I think it is great as 'improvisation'.
Amazing
Thanks Evelyn! I had an idea the answer would be complicated. I don't expect I'd be able to find out but I'll carrying on enjoying your percussion anyway!
Dear Alexander
Being a musician means being a good time manager! We percussionists have to deal with learning lots of different instruments too, of course. This means it's even more important for us to think carefully about how we use our practise time. My advice would be to make sure you are well prepared for any performances you have in the pipeline without over-rehearsing. Try to remain focussed so you have time to develop new skills when you get the chance. All the best with your studies!
@annoball I don't regard the grip I use as special but simply a constant manipulation of the hand and stick at the moment of playing. The reason for this is because every drum, produces a different sound and each venue has it's own variation of acoustics. The basic premis is to allow as much air into the hands as possible so that it acts more as a support system to the sound I wish to create. Thank you for your kind comment!
I think you are doing great! You are an excellant drummer.
Nice chopssss
@DameEvelynGlennie He had not seen before. This is a special brand of snare drums? Because the sound is incredible.
Hello SirWhoLikesMusic! My advice would be to start learning 4 mallet technique as soon as you can - it will be an invaluable skill to have. Keep in mind that 4 mallet technique is very different from using 2, 3, or even 6 mallets. It is not simply the case that one technique is an extension of another. Using 4 mallets utilises very different muscles to 2 mallet playing. The sooner you start learning the sooner you will gain command of 4 mallets! I hope this helps.
A really interesting take on tuning of one instrument some people I think (like myself in a way ha) do not neccesarily think about: The stick. When drums come to mind, one thinks of the various natures of the shell of said instrument, and importantly itself, there tuning. Now for instance when I strike a tom-tom drum, one thinks of how to tension and with what intensity of the strike one should use. However, i never thought the sticks in-harmoneous "tunings" can provide desirable color/tecture.
Hola quería saber si alguien sabe que tambor está usando marca y modelo
very nice .i love it i m some what of a drummer or a want to be drummer.there is so many parts to leurn i never get there .i love the youg drummers today .thy just blow me away.there are days i just want to give up.and just saythe heck with it .than i go back to my rudements .and practis them all in revers.and that is fun or play the acsents on the revers beat.sory about the spelling .i love to see more of you on yuo tube .i am allso on you tube .under fon morcus .thanks evelyn. your new friend
Thanks, Evelyn, for sharing your knowledge and the exquisite sound you make. I much enjoy your masterclasses and cannot resist sending the links to my friends. I'd be interested to know how many times the stick can contact the drum from a sinlg;e "strike"
I LOVED IT!!!!
What snare are you using for this piece?
does anyone know the name of the snare drum in this video?
Me it seems to me, or this case is divided into two independent parts?
damn this video is about to hit 100k views,
keep watching...

Hi!! Do you use a special grip to amplify the vibration to your hands?
You are a super musician!!
I don't think I breathed for 11 minutes and 51 seconds.
Dear Evelyn,
I'm currently studying percussion in college, and you're a wonderful source of inspiration. I have a question I hope you can answer. I have trouble finding time to fit everything I'm asked to practice into my schedule. I end up practicing drum set for hours, and then some snare or marimba, or snare drum then marimba for a while. How did you cope with everything you were asked to practice, and how did you fit it all in? What is your advice for me?
Thank you,
Alex
:D :D One more question, I live in Serbia, is there a chanse that you will be performing here..Some time in the future? :D
Where could i get those sticks? I've been looking for heavy and full sticks for a long time now, but all of the sticks that they have here in my country are light. And if you see this and reply, i just might die.... :D You brought tears to my eyes the first time i heard you.
What kind of sticks were you using in this video?
if i were marching into battle, I want Evelyn to be the snare player
Hi Evelyn, i was just wondering how experienced were you when you began playing with 4 mallets, as i have been on percussion for a good number of years with minimal experience on 4 mallets and am wondering is it worthwhile beginning to learn?
that's double stroke rolls...wowww...surely can beat gravity blast beats...
Toward the end of the piece, your hand seems to hardly move - it is as if the drum, the stick, your hand and your mind have formed a straight line. Skill is one thing, but what is on display in your work is something far more primal - an evocation of the heartbeat of the universe itself.
The best drummers create a melody, rather than simply back one up - looking forward to seeing you perform in Dublin.
man, i love to her you play a set of traps
I'm sorry, but is there a name for the technique you're doing? I've never seen traditional grip held like that, and the arm movements too. I'm a modern traditional grip (yeah, I know, doesnt make sense) snare player, as you can see in my videos. Im just curious, though.
Fantastic playing and technique here Evelyn:-) I have the pleasure of teaching pipe band drumming here in East Lothian and wondered if you have ever tried or played any pipe band drum scores?
Hello tbwff. Thank you for your kind comment. I played pipe band snare parts when I was in my late teens and early 20s. As a young player I was trying to experience as many styles as possible so I could ensure good, rounded development of my technique. Although I've never played pipe band music in any major way what I did play was a great experience - it really helped me to think about clarity, which is so important in that style. All great fun!
Evelyn Glennie Thanks for the reply and Info Evelyn, all the best to you :-)
Hi Dylan, they are my own design of signature drum sticks called Millennium 2 model which are what I use 99 per cent of time. They are very heavy in weight.
Thank you everyone for your continued kind comments!
u might be deaf...but u know wat music is!!!
Such taut control! -- How shall i address you? First name alone seems insufficient for a Knight of the Empire... Lovely piece, and you play like nobody else on the planet.
1 person must play guitar..........
I am always puzzled when people hold the sticks in the natural tympani grip whilst talking then revert to
the old fashioned marching traditional grip that was devised to play a shoulder slung drum.
talbotvanman this comment makes no sense
It's so nice to hear a snare drum solo on a "Real" Snare drum and not on those god awful sounding kevlar marching drums.
lol you have no idea what you're talking about.
To be fair, how many drummers use marching/kevlar heads in typical band settings? They definitely have their place but their sound wouldn't fit with most musical styles. There's no denying the fact that a traditionally tuned snare drum has more of a dynamic range than a cranked up marching snare. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the main purpose of kevlar heads is to accentuate the attack of the stick. That being said, it always comes down to our own personal tastes so there is no right or wrong. Love what you love!
dat traditional grip
