UFO Tofu by Tom Gierke is a fun arrangement of the Bela Fleck tune of the same name. This exuberant piece that is written at a brisk tempo marking of 225bpm.
Seven keyboard instruments carry the melodic and harmonic texture of the piece while the rhythm section, consisting of a drum set (with bongos and optional electronic trigger pad) keep the groove driving and give it a distinct style.
This is a fun, advanced piece that is great in a percussion concert or as a lot warm-up tune during marching season!
