Program Notes

Midnight Drift is the third set in the series of progressive solos for concert snare, each written to be performed with a custom play-along track. This time, the beat leans into deep house and amapiano - smooth, late-night grooves that pulse beneath the surface. The solos follow the same structure as before: one track, three levels of challenge.
