La musique répétitive contemporaine ; cela fait réfléchir comme une allégorie de la production industrielle ininterrompue et de l'interchangeabilité des producteurs...

27:41 is where the good part starts

[@BlindManBert]

0:00 is where the good part starts for me. It’s all good… [former percussionist of West African music] I’ll also say that 1:01:27 is definitely my favorite transition of the piece with a single note on a glockenspiel holding the tempo, then passed to a second performer to continue the ostinato “phrase”. It’s almost somewhat jarring when the marimba and drums pick it up and continue… but what can you do? I could’ve listened to that one glock note for a whole hour on its own, it’s so peaceful. I’ve found that Steve Reich pieces are generally at their best when there’s under 5K views of them on Facebook.

Wah! So many post in a short time. Thanks a lot it's fantastic. Personally, I have some trouble with the huge echo in this video. I understand that it was on purpose... I am just not a fan. Anyway, thanks for the great work, and allowing me to discover so many composers through your videos.

HOW DO THEY ALL KNOW WHEN TO END!?!??!

[@fuzzylightning]

Listening.

[@user-jd1rb2li1g]

@@fuzzylightning I was "listening" for an hour and fourteen minutes and i had no idea it was about to end

[@fuzzylightning]

Then I applaud your effort in trying to understand art.

[@captainbuttons]

Hi! I'm in the video, and we cued each other right at the end to count a couple of beats (I think we decided 6?) and stop. That's usually how you end this piece :)

[@mxa-sound]

Muso's bro :(

[@manfredschuette8836]

very hypnotic. Unfortunately the sound is not so good.

[@BlindManBert]

Agree. Roughly eight condenser mics on high stands above the percussionists woul’ve captured much better audio without all the room echo. Still… this is among the best performances of “Drumming” I’ve run across on KZbin, if not the #1 best.

[@johnhawkinshawkins1284]

you're asking why? Well simply because it would sound better!

[@johnhawkinshawkins1284]

...waiting for dundun and talking' drum; where's the depth? This is white man's sterile analysis of rhythm. Static

[@sen5i]

Your comment reveals your ignorance and your racism.

[@benjaminwoodrowmusic6070]

It's an interpretation and inspired by African rhythm why would someone merely copy something and use African instruments that is not what this is. It would be more insulting if he'd just taken African instruments and just imitated the music.
