Instrumentation

Castle of the Mad King

Multiple Percussion:
Two 12 inch china cymbals, same size but slightly different in pitch
Two chinese opera gongs, bounded in a frame (high on the top and low above)
Four cymbals, from high to low: 10‘‘ Splash, 12‘‘, 16‘‘, 18‘‘ (mostly crash sounds)
One Tam-tam, not too large, Thundersheet, not too large
Rainstick, mounted on the Rack, but not tight, so it can be turned around with one hand
Two metal tubes with a split and a hole, for „wah-wah" sound
Wooden Split-drum, with 8 tongues. (they, of course do NOT have to produce those pitches)
Bass drum with pedal, rather small. (the best would be 20 or 18 inch)
Five tom-toms in sizes: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10 Inch. All with resonance heads, and long sustain
Five wood-blocks, mounted in a vertical ROW, so one can make a Glissando over them
One octave [[crotales, this should be the LOW (!) octave
Seven Japanese drums „uchwa – daikos"
Five "Earth-Plates" also NOT tuned but five different pitches
