For the past 2 seasons the ESU Percussion Ensemble has championed a series of percussion quartets written for the famed Blackearth Percussion Group. Rip–Off  has been a staple of the BPG over the past 45 years.  It can be performed on drum sets, or timpani/tom toms, using either two or four players. Kvistad states in his performance notes: “This piece is performed as a “strip-tease” with players removing articles of clothing…” In this composition, Kvistad borrows, steals  (or “rips off”) drum licks from two previous pieces: Lift-Off by Russell Peck,  and Take That! by William Albright, in a game of one-upmanship.  This piece mixes classical percussion improvisatory material with strictly written music, allowing a creative outlet for each player.

Program Notes

For the past 2 seasons the ESU Percussion Ensemble has championed a series of percussion quartets written for the famed Blackearth Percussion Group. Rip–Off has been a staple of the BPG over the past 45 years. It can be performed on drum sets, or timpani/tom toms, using either two or four players. Kvistad states in his performance notes: “This piece is performed as a “strip-tease” with players removing articles of clothing…” In this composition, Kvistad borrows, steals (or “rips off”) drum licks from two previous pieces: Lift-Off by Russell Peck, and Take That! by William Albright, in a game of one-upmanship. This piece mixes classical percussion improvisatory material with strictly written music, allowing a creative outlet for each player.
