Listening and watching now.
Thanks.

What is the shell of that bass drum made out of?

@Render
I'm not a percussionist, but I imagine it's probably just maple which would be standard. It looks like it has a mahogany veneer on it. (Which they are ruining.)

@voltronic

thanks--that deserves a critical listen/viewing.

That was great. It made me go back and listen to Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians for an earlier approach to percussion-led complex compositions.

@corlin
I can look into it. Yes, their compression does not nice things to highly dynamic music.

@corlin @voltronic
Looks like you can get it here (FLAC and other formats)

Thanks

Yeah I just found that link myself.

Including this one, which is quite frankly a ridiculous price to purchase the score and parts. Same price whether digital or physical.

This is really disappointing to see a composer do this. If you want your music to be performed, you said it at a more reasonable price to make it more accessible.

@voltronic @corlin
{gulp} Yeah that's a bit spendy, for sure!

@voltronic @codeWhisperer

Ouch.
Not good.

@corlin @codeWhisperer
The conductor's score alone is $200!

To put in perspective how overpriced that even is, I went looking for the most expensive edition of a full conductor score for Götterdämmerung, the final part of Wagner's Ring cycle, which takes upwards of 4 AND A HALF HOURS to perform:

There are several other editions where you can get the full score for under $50.
