Pauken Pairings was written in recognition of the need for engaging works for timpani that are accessible for a wide range of student percussionists. Each of the pieces included is playable on two timpani (29” and 26” drums), incorporates notable excerpts from significant orchestral works by two composers, and includes an optional groove-based electronic accompaniment (arranged & programmed by Bryce Craig) that may be performed using the downloadable pre-recorded track or played by a second percussionist on drum set, snare drum, cajón, djembe, pandeiro, etc.
