On Wednesday, April 6, at 8 p.m., Joe Brooks will be performing a recital covering two different areas of percussion performance. Joe will be performing a piece that is written for two tom-toms and snare drum, as well as two marimba solos, each demonstrating different techniques. He will also be giving a brief history of the instruments that he is performing on, as well as talk about two mallet and four mallet marimba techniques.
