Commissioned by renowned percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie, Psathas’ Drum Dances (1993) is a standard for drum kit and piano repertoire. Each of the four movements in this work were stimulated by a certain rhythmic interaction possible between two performers. The performers gradually transition from battling for superiority to working together throughout the work as they navigate material ranging from from a loosely-written stately dance to very tight and syncopated rhythmic interaction.

A solo for snare drum, 4 tom-toms, 2 bongos. Double headed sticks (one end snare drum stick, the other end felt) are required. Medium-difficult.

The famous rhythms of the Portraits in Rhythm snare drum etudes by Anthony J. Cirone have now been transcribed for a multiple percussion setup (bass drum, four concert toms, two bongos, five temple blocks, three wood blocks, three cowbells, two suspended cymbals, triangle, and gong). This folio, though advanced, is perfect for the aspiring percussionist.
