David Bruce Composer | Drum Challenge: Can you play this impossible piece? @DBruce | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Is Frank Zappa's famous drum solo 'The Black Page' really all that hard? In this video I attempt to give the piece an 'upgrade', writing my own new piece 'The Even Blacker Page' and get my friend Yogev Gabay to perform it - it only took him a month to learn it and 31 takes to record it :-)
