The Drum

by Andrew Drury

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The Drum spotlights Andrew Drury as a composer/improviser/soloist who renders 53 minutes of solo floor tom music not as a tedious exercise in sado-narcissism, but rather as a mind opening and surprisingly appealing manifesto on acoustic experimentalism. And he does so without ever actually striking the drum, employing extended techniques he has developed that treat his drum as a wind instrument and acoustic filter for friction.

    "...an ingenious work that highlights Drury's fertile imagination, audacious musicianship and unparalleled virtuosity."
    --Hrayr Attarian, All About Jazz

    "Andrew Drury's imagination knows no bounds." --S. Victor Aaron, Something Else!

    "Nobody to my knowledge has done so thorough and creative a job unveiling the untraditional sound possibilities (of a single drum) and working to create a series of aural segments, each unique. The music gotten by these means seems to be both very primal and ultra-avant, noisy but resonantly acoustic. It is a rather amazing album..." --Grego Applegate Edwards, Gapplegate Music Review

about

Acoustic, solo, improvised compositions recorded on a single floor tom with a few additional objects (faucet escutcheon, bell, aluminum sheet) over several late night sessions in the summers of 2013 and 2014. I used two mics and a few edits but otherwise no overdubs, effects, electronics, etc.

--Grego Applegate Edwards, Gapplegate Music Review

“It sounds like someone is tearing a hole in the fabric of earth where we are standing. (...) This is one of the most unsettling discs I’ve heard in a long while. A strange and bizarre rarity. Challenge yourself.”
--Bruce Gallanter, DMG Newsletter
