Drum solo with accompaniment by drone and melody instruments (marimba and vibraphone). Drum part is strictly rudimental throughout, but based on forms and structure of North Indian tabla drumming. A very difficult recital piece (if played at tempo) which may be edited to last from 10 to 30 minutes.
