THE WHISTLE DRUMMER is dedicated to my friend and colleague, Christian Wissel, whose surname provided me with the inspiration for the play on words in the title.

The work has three movements (NYC, PARI´, RIO) and encompasses various playing techniques (as well as whistling with the mouth) and musical styles.

Setup: Police whistle, samba whistle (apito), snare drum, floortom. kick drum, hi-hat and cymbal(s).
