When we hear “percussion,” we often think of drums — but the world of percussion contains so much more, and we explore that world on the latest episode of Extra Eclectic. Host Steve Seel showcases a panoply of tuned percussion, from xylophones and marimbas to crotales (miniature tuned cymbals), and even the sound of bowed marimba, in works by Shelley Washington, Ayanna Woods, Steve Reich, Andy Akiho, Philip Glass and more.
