Medium Concert Percussion Ensemble
Nathan Daughtrey 5 Players
Instrumentation:Percussion 1 (bongos, bells), Percussion 2 (temple blocks, 3-octave vibraphone), Percussion 3 (agogo bell or cowbell, chimes), Percussion 4 (4 tom-toms, Percussion 5 (bass drum, tam-tam, suspended cymbal) From a whisper to a roar, Shock Factor is a study in dynamic contrast! Primarily driven by battery percussion, the piece features exciting vocal effects all derived from the word "shock." A brief section in the middle of the piece takes a departure from the battery instruments by bringing prominence to the metallic keyboard percussion (bells, vibraphone, & chimes). Driving from beginning to end, Shock Factor delivers!
