If you want to see the various sounds and directions a drum can do on its own, check out this solo album by Dave Schoepke. You get eleven pieces ranging from a collection of paradiddles on “Beyond The Slanting Surfaces” to possible coded messages tapped out on ”Air Above”. Use of hands on drums are pulsed out on “Hartundi” with talking drum tones on “Shorn”. Tribal beats and spaces abound on ”Sounds After Life” and a dash of electronica teams with delicate sticks on “The Churning Void”. Conversation with myself with sticks?
