=== Review ===<br />
Written for snare drum, tenor drum, suspended cymbal, bass drum/triangle and two timpani, Simulating Assimilation is an easy percussion quintet in the traditional percussion-section style. Approximately three minutes in length, it opens with four one- measure statements (separated by caesura), proceeds into a quick march tempo section (M.M. = 144) and closes with an eight-bar coda. The piece relies heavily on interplay between the parts, and rhythmic motives frequently reappear in different parts. Players use common percussion-section techniques and are not required to play anything more difficult than 16th-note triplets. No timpani tuning changes are required. The work would require either a conductor (due to the many stops and starts) or a cohesive group of players. The piece would work well as either a contest piece or percussion feature for a junior high school ensemble. - Terry O'Mahoney<ref>http://www.pas.org/resources/research/research-compositions</ref><br />
