Aug 12, 2007 - well...not really...they got me to help with the tam-tam part with this one...which actually is supposed to be played by the timpanist.

Sep 19, 2007 - hahaha, i remember that! I didn't have a back up and was diving all over the place. Last count is a gong and china cymbal crash. how the hell does one person muffle that?!?!?!

Dec 4, 2007 - Haha yeah we're getting this piece together at Université de Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada.I play the tenor drum, log drums, sleigh bells, etc part and I'm in charge of muffling both my crash and the timpanist's chinese.

Jul 28, 2008 - Great job guys! Ogoun has just about the best cowbell solo ever... This is different than what I played last year though, we only had 5 players...

dbaerg Says:

Jul 28, 2008 - the timpani player was finding it difficult to move between the tamtam and everything else, so we got a 6th person to just play that ending section.

scratchmcg Says:

Jul 29, 2008 - Ohhh I see! I played the timpani part, and I agree it was very difficult to do the switch. Wish I had thought of bringing in somebody else...

Stix340 Says:

Oct 1, 2008 - Wow, like you guys are the awesomest peeps ever to play this...wow...

Jan 30, 2009 - What a fun piece. I played this in my high school percussion ensemble. We performed it shirtless under black lights and glow-in-the-dark body paint! Those were the days...

Feb 16, 2010 - Why do you think the composer would think that? Can't a piece be fun or ephemeral and still be of value? Is "deep and spiritual" the quality that each piece must express (or arouse, or emulate....).

Mar 5, 2010 - TheKingBolden, your name should be the King Douchebag. This piece is badass, and you probably think its lame because you dont have the chops to play it. There doesn't have to be a reason or meaning behind every piece of music, just enjoy it and quit being a buzzkill

Mar 16, 2010 - @TheKingBolden actualy if you would do research before acting like you know what your talking about, you would know that this piece is about sacrificing a virgin. It is broken into 5 parts of a story and every instrument plays a role. So stfu before you try to talk shit about Rouse

macoup1 Says:

Apr 4, 2010 - Actually KingBolden do you really know what this piece is about? If you really did you would know that the music is a representation of a ritual in which a virgin is sacrificed. Nice try

Apr 7, 2010 - Brilliant.
