GRAY 102 by Colin Tribby

Gray 102 is a timpani solo for four drums, which features subtlety as its focal point. Through the use of quiet dynamics, short melodic motives, ringing chords and a nod to funk-influenced bass lines, the timpanist is afforded the chance to explore a unique musical landscape. The primary issues here for the performer involve pedaling, tone production and an overall awareness of the musical capabilities of the instrument.
