After seeing a wonderful concert by Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers I was inspired to record a track for drums only. The World of Sport’ album seemed to be an ideal place for such a track. ‘The Race’ was recorded using de-tuned timpani struck with very hard mallets in a large reverberant hall. I had spent a short time studying with Gambian Master Percussionist Musa Mboob on the Djembe, and determined to put this experience to good use, I overdubbed the djembe part on the already recorded timps. (The instrument used was a traditional hand-carved wooden djembe from West Africa).

I hope this track captures some of the exuberant energy of the Taiko drummers.

I have been in contact with Mugenkyo, and very much hope to be doing some recording with them in the not-to-distant future.
