At the end of September, I was fortunate enough to make a trip to the Black Swamp Percussion factory in Holland, Michigan. This visit coincided with a trip to South Bend, Indiana, where I was a guest clinician for PAS Indiana and a competition held at Penn High School. In addition to touring the factory and meeting even more people behind the wonderful products at BSP, I was able to record a live performance of Vera Stanojevic’s Broken Mirrors, a newly commissioned solo for snare drum and electronic playback. This was a recent commissioning project that concluded over the summer, and involved over 40 percussionists from all over the world. Here is a link to that video - the first and only take we recorded in the factory!
