JANE BOXALL - ZERO TO EIGHT MALLETS

Jane Boxall's 2012 album, "Zero To Eight Mallets" combines technical skills with an excellent repertoire. Next to one original piece and Frank Zappa's 'The Black Page', the album offers performances of pieces by a number of composers that I had never heard of. And there's some great stuff to be discovered !

Frank Zappa's 'The Black Page' is performed on the marimba.
As Jane explains in the liner notes, the piece was originally written for drum-kit and melodic percussion.
While "Zero To Eight Mallets" has the piece performed on the marimba, the below video shows Jane playing the drums to the marimba part.
