Deus Ex Metronome by Russell Wharton is an eccentric combination of musical influences, including artists like Tigran Hamasyan, Mark Guiliana, and Kendrick Lamar. This unique piece is written from solo snare drum and audio accompaniment, and the audio track is written with samples taken and manipulated from a Boss DB-90 metronome.
This unique snare drum solo is very challenging, with tons of advanced techniques, some brushwork, and a lot of syncopation and metric modulation. It is excellent for a senior recital and makes for a genuinely exciting addition to a program.
Difficulty: Advanced
Duration: 7:17
