Track 20 from Saydisc "Percussion Around the World" - notes from Maureen Hanke.

'Demon Dance' features a large drum kit cosisting of 7 roto toms, 4 cymbals, 2 floor toms, a foot bass drum and a wind gong.
Drums are among the oldest instruments and there are thousands throughout the world. It was just after the Second World War that the Western world incorporated them into popular music, a trend that continued throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
The drum kit line up became more sophisticated as the musical ideas developed and drum machines took over where creativity needed more speed and complexity.
This composition demands, perhaps one of the most sophisticated collection of drums to date.

Demon Dance tells how when the Demon dances the earth trembles and the mountain begins to erupt.
Music that creates a picture or evokes a mood is called programme music.
