50 for Steve (frame drum duet by Ken Shorley)

This frame drum duet is an homage to the great American composer, Steve Reich, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of his 1972 seminal piece, Clapping Music.
It is inspired by the Turkish 10-beat rhythm, Aksak Semai, and can be performed by two drummers, or by one performer with a loop pedal. Download a chart for this piece at: kenshorley.pod...

This beautifully illustrates how cycles of different lengths interact with each other. Thanks so much for sharing your music and drum instruction.
