Babybot (2011)

This doesn't look like a drum kit quartet, but is actually very much conceived of as one; I substitute a different material (wood, metal, glass, etc.) for each position on the kit and then lay the instruments down on a tabletop.
The very last note of this performance, by students in the 2011 So Percussion Summer Institute is miraculous, a high water mark for sure. Thanks, Clara!
