This group of ten
percussionists play a massive range of instruments in a varied fun
way. This spectacular show features a wide range of musical styles
from classical to rock, rhythm and blues to funk with many others
mixed in for good measure. The lighting effects and clever use of
pre-recorded footage of the band make the changes of instruments
and setting up of next numbers as much part of the entertainment
value of the show.
I didn’t even try to count
the different sorts of instruments used, including the drumsticks
themselves. The power of the beat can not only be heard but
vibrates through every solid object in the hall and can be felt by
feet, backs, bottoms and hands making this a truly all over
experience. Yet it is not just the sounds that are spectacular but
also the movements between the players and the various
instruments, which seem to be well choreographed dance or fight
scenes.
Part of me would like to
experience the show on an outside stage with room to move to the
beat.
