Description

Out Put by Didier Benetti is an energetic and groove-driven solo composition for five tom-toms. Crafted for intermediate-level percussionists, this piece explores rhythmic interplay, dynamic control, and stick precision in a format that is both accessible and musically rewarding. Benetti, a noted French percussionist and composer, brings his extensive performance experience to the piece, offering a compact yet compelling work that is ideal for recitals, auditions, or classroom study.

From the opening bars, Out Put establishes a pulse-based framework that demands attention to timing and articulation. Players must navigate syncopated phrases, dynamic bursts, and fluid transitions between surfaces. The work emphasizes clarity in stroke execution, thoughtful phrasing, and a strong sense of internal tempo. While written entirely for unpitched drums, it delivers a layered sense of musicality through rhythm, texture, and contrast.

Benetti structures the piece in a way that invites performers to shape musical phrases with nuance. Variations in stickings, height of stroke, and striking zones allow for expressive interpretation. The performer is encouraged to think beyond technical execution and embrace the theatrical, choreographic aspect of solo drumming. This is particularly valuable for young percussionists developing confidence and presence in solo performance.

Because of its instrumentation—five tom-toms only—the setup is manageable for both students and professionals. It travels well and works equally well in large recital halls and intimate classroom spaces. The work’s moderate length and catchy rhythmic structure also make it a good fit for mixed recital programs that combine pitched and unpitched percussion.

Out Put is a fantastic choice for any percussionist looking to expand their solo repertoire with something rhythmically vibrant and stylistically fresh. It provides just the right blend of structure and flexibility, challenge and accessibility.
