Kibo

4 4.3 Marimbas + 1 5.0 Octave marimba. Only 2 mallet technique is required by each player for this piece. Refrakt for Marimba Quartet

Dr. Andrea Venet wrote the first version of Kibo in 2005 while studying rudimental snare drumming with the famous Bob Becker. She later updated the piece after studying other great rudimental works by John S. Pratt and Joseph Tompkins.

Elements of these composers can be found in Kibo, such as a variety of rudiments, a host of sticking permutations, various treatments of ruffs and flams, and a wide range of dynamics.
