Madrasana Konnakol Applied to Drumset by Pete Galea

After several months of working on this, I’m finally ready to put it out to the world! The learning process for this transcription was a very long, detailed, and slow one but has been so worth it! Konnakol is such a fascinating and beautiful rhythmic language, and after loving this Konnakol performance for some years I’ve always wanted to have a crack at it so this is my humble attempt! Of course it would have been great to do the entire thing, but that might be a project for later :)
I’d like to thank my friend Banjo Rancho for being a great source of help and information about anything Konnakol, and also Tarang Poddar for some further background. Lastly I’d also like to thank Bouke Hofma for kindly letting me use his practice room to record the drumming part of this performance. (Fun fact, this was the only time I ever played it on an acoustic kit due to the limitations of my current living situation).
By no means is this piece of work perfect, these musical masters are on a whole different level and I did my best to do it justice in my own way while learning something valuable along the way. I hope that is evident and that you enjoyed it and maybe even learned something along the way.
