Motion No. 2

Nicholas V. Hall

Med-Advanced Percussion Duo

Instrumentation: 

• Kick drum (mounted)
• 4 Toms
• China cymbal
• Splash cymbal

Motion No. 2 is the second piece in a series of works for percussion duo by Nicholas V. Hall. Continuing the series’ goal of challenging two performers to act as a single unit, this work focuses on common rhythmic ideas found in funk and rock drumset playing.

The players share a horizontally mounted kick drum, China cymbal, and splash cymbal while co-creating melodies and fills using two high/low pitched toms each. The result is an exciting, note-rich tour de force for two worthy percussionists and their audience!

Motion No. 2 ships as a fully bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for either printing or tablet viewing.
