For more than two decades, drummer and educator Alex Leys has been writing, recording, and performing his solo drum music in Solo Drum Concerts and drum clinics and seminars. His compositions go beyond the archetypical drum solo that we all know. Leys uses musical elements like harmony, melody and orchestration to give form and content to his work, truly solo percussion works. A complete musical statement.
