I had the good fortune of premiering Drum Music by John Mackey in the fall of 2011, with the Tennessee Tech University Wind Ensemble directed by my friend and wonderful musician, Joseph Hermann. The above photo was taken right before the first rehearsal with Mackey in attendance. To see a full performance of the work, (this time with John Locke and the UNCG Wind Ensemble in the fall of 2015) please click here.

For information about the composition and adaptations from John Mackey, please visit these posts from his website, as well as where to find the music!
