I teach on a Fine Art course at Liverpool Hope University and one of my colleagues is Tony Smith is a great drummer as well as a painter. We are always chatting about drumming and have decided to have a stab at Steve Reich’s Clapping Music.
Its a beautiful piece that is simple in someways 12 bars with one clave that shifts in each bar. But obviously it becomes rhythmically very complex and is a bit tricky to learn. So we are doing one bar a week and will perform it next term.
Will add some video soon
