Description
River is the Way by Daniel McCarthy is a 10 player percussion ensemble filled with delicious, funky grooves with a hint of Riverdance. This piece has a large set-up, and is a total crowd-pleaser. The best part is is that the performers are having just as much fun as the audience! It works on rolls, complicated accents and 16th note patterns, so players get to show off technical skills, as well.
