"Crossroads" - Eugene Toh (A Dialogue for Frame Drum and Darbuka)

My first published composition containing ideas learnt in the study of the frame drum and darbuka since 2016.
A big thank you to the inspirational Yshai Afterman for all the guidance in my exploration of the field. The challenging lesson materials have all contributed to the techniques and phrases used in this composition.
Thanks also goes to all my other teachers, including Sri D Rajagopal, for many years of tutelage in mridangam and kanjira. The study of Carnatic percussion has also been a major influence in my music making.

Play this at 0.75 speed and imo it becomes elevated.

[@user-nu5jf8zb2f]

Очень красиво, ритмичное и гармоничное сочетание звуков. Как бы действительно диалог между этими инструментами или как называется спелись в единой композиции. Молодец!!!!

[@pcussiogmail]

Thank you!

[@borisp9163]

This is obviously inspired by Yshai, but littlebit different, are you his student? And can you please send me what exact doumbek and frame drum are those? If you have link to shop, Sounds good, I want to buy but there are no shops around to try and choose the right one, only online.. Thanks

[@pcussiogmail]

Hey yes I studied under Yshai for a number of years. I can send you the information on the instruments. Is there a way for me to message you privately?

[@calumoconnor7794]

Beautiful
