As the title suggests, The Small Stuff by Andrew Richardson was written specifically to utilize the collection of small, miscellaneous instruments accumulated over the years by his percussion duo, DuOK. Richardson has found a way to bring these seemingly random instruments together in a syncopated, groovy, and tight-knit package. It includes "found" instruments like pots, pans, junk metal, and ceramic bowls. It also features an extended section for kalimba and tenor steel pan. Perfect for the percussion duo on the go!
This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.

“The Small Stuff ” is a wonderful piece for multiple percussion duet. As the title suggests, the piece was written specifically to utilize the collection of small, miscellaneous instruments accumulated over the years by his percussion duo, DuOK.
While a number of instruments are required for performance, the majority of them are small and the setup is very clever, with both players sharing several instruments. The opening section has both players on their own woodblocks and sharing a doumbek. e middle part others one player the chance to exhibit pans skills while the other performer plays kalimba. The piece ends with a more complex hocket using all of the setup.
“The Small Stuff” is skillfully composed and is accessible in any performance situation. It requires players of equal talent and playing style who have a solid sense of time and ensemble cohesion. This piece would be appropriate for any undergraduate recital and up.
