Todd Hammes, percussion
In his groundbreaking first commercial
recording, Todd establishes his world
class credentials as a composer/percussionist
of vision and sensitivity, performing
with mastery on nearly three dozen percussion
instruments from around the globe, and
setting an exceptional standard for subsequent
recorded work.
“Hammes is a percussionist
of immense range, with an innate sense of touch,
tone and color. There’s plenty of variety
and peerless virtuosity on this five-star effort.
Snag it!”
Dan
Buckley,
The Tucson
Citizen
“…evidence of Hammes’ strengths,
particularly his expertise of the performance
of music of non-Western cultures, his
ability to use folk instruments in
new and musically viable ways, and
his impressive skills in improvisation.”
John R. Rausch, Percussive
Notes: The Journal of the Percussive
Arts Society
“…a very pleasure listening
experience…I especially enjoyed
the Split Silk piece and Ubi Caritas.
Both of these showed a uniqueness in
your musical vision.”
