about

DCM 005 - Saar - Drum music, Dm 5 -my 5th Album. The 3rd volume of Drum Studies, from my then new 'Drum Studio'. Most noted for the piece ‘102 Variations for wood Percussion’, actually performed on a set of small teracotta drums – that gave an oddly wood like sound !

'So good at these concentrated, intense and intricate percussion pieces.' Mark Yeats - British Contemporary Composer and Artist - 7th April 2015.

Ping – Rh 45. There are ‘pings’ - in it but it focuses on a deep bass. The title also refers to the metalic blush washed over it, making it more a ‘Metal percussion’ piece but it is audibly a Drum piece’. Is it then an Electronic piece – where does it belong ? Electronics were assisting performances for me at this time – this I decided was an assisted Drum Piece – white heat of early light.

102 Variations for Wood Percussion - Rh 107. The albums Dm 3 – 5 collect only Drum Studies and 57 pieces have passed before I am back recording Drums again. The ‘Variations for wood Percussion’, were actually performed on a set of small teracotta Drums – that gave an oddly wood like sound. It is an acoustic performance, I vividly remember playing them on this four Drum assembly I called a combinant [hence ‘Combinations for Four Drums – Rh 119 on the album ‘Trio Tamarind’ Dm 7 – played on that same set]. Basically here is a set of 102 variations on a close procedure – a Landmark in my percussion music.

Checkmate – Rh 108. An Electronically assisted ‘tumbleing’ piece where the echoes fall over oneanother – for a large Drum.

Two Hand music – Rh 110. A short clapping rhythm scezed in a place I knew I would soon be disturbed. In a room in the hospital where I was recording sources for my first Phaze music studies.

Bailey – Rh 111. An infectious ‘Skip’ extends itself addattatively – desolving the skip.

Hai – Rh112. Strident and Brutal study of Punctuation and period. Ending with the charicteristic ‘Hai !’ I often gave at the end of a spirited live performance.

Harbrook – Rh 113. The warm deep tone of a large Djembe.

Saar – Rh 115. Wood toned drumming in an enclosed space.


An early reorganization of my music research interest defined my music into dedicated sets of Albums. This way things of a kin got heard together - as one type of album or another - by Genre - or Tranche as I styled them. In this Case Drum music – Percussion on Drums of various kinds 'Percussion specifically on Drums of many kinds - as a speciality’ – Dm by convention.

Albums 1 - 7, collect together first seven Dm albums, placed in a block, one of 5 blocks, placed like books on a shelf. in an in an overarching 'Group' of my first 27 albums. Five Blocks for the Five Tranches - as they were founded (more of less) - five sets of studies and pieces, as my Foundational Group 'Blue Cherry' [after a friend]. The foundation stone the rest of my music is built on - in four further Groups.

The Seven Dm albums in the Blue Cherry Group are Dm 1 - a set of inventions for an American frame drum: Dm 2 – in a landmark set of the first 5 of my 12 Drum sonatas: Dm 3 - 5 are three volumes of Drum Studies; Dm 6 is in aother landmark set, the first of my 6 sets of Inventions for Djembe; finally Dm 7 is a fourth set of Drum studies.

The album numbers are volumes in a [for the most part] chronological edition.- The DCM Broadhurst Edition - Prepared for the British Library in 2019. The Volumes or Albums themselves were actually released as and when it was possible. The Edition though, was planed to stand on the 'foundation Stone' of the Blue Cherry group.

The Rh catalogue, numbers my works in order of Completion.
