About this album

Drumming is a music composition by the minimalist composer Steve Reich, dating from 1970-1971. Reich began composition of the work after a visit to Africa and observing music and musical ensembles there, especially under the master drummer Gideon Alorwoyie in Ghana.

The piece employs Reich’s trademark technique of phasing, and was the last piece in which he used said technique.
