Big thanks to our teachers David Smith and Doug Perry for helping us make our performance of this piece the best it could be!

They are dressed to match their mallets.

At first, I thought it was just one guy standing in diff areas of the frame performing both parts, with some mad editing and splicing skills😂 Great performance!🙌🏼

[spookiedukey]

I was halfway in when I decided this is one of if not the best performances and duets I’ve ever seen. Hands down. Very nice job and I hope to see you two up with the greats!

[DrumUltimA]

Great work, guys. Super proud of both of you!

[averymewhirter]

This piece gives me a feeling of peak life, just absolutely living it all at the top of happiness and clarity

I've been using this recording to play along to almost constantly this summer. Every other day I'm running the piece and it's a difficult one for me and my experience, but you guys make it sound worth it to keep it going. The reverb is satisfying and the phrasing and tempo is all in a great place and I haven't gotten tired of the recording yet after maybe 100 plays or more rewinding and replaying in spots to get everything right when I don't read music as confidently as I listen. Thanks for keeping me in the game to finish this piece for my senior recital next year! I hope the both of you continue playing wonderful things in the future!

Ivan Trevino's compositions are some of my favorites, especially this one and Catching Shadows, but they definitely scare me a little lol. I could never master Stevens grip and hand independence well enough for them. Great job you two!

[clascorian]

what a nice visual effect. matching clothes and you look like twins. great planning.

Ivan Trevino just came to our school today with escape 10 a percussion duet and he was explaining the reason he wrote this and why the name is 2+1

[jamesa.]

Beautiful piece and gorgeous timing and feel.

[TheEverlong]

[geemc-]

Very nice work, gentlemen. Just an absolutely outstanding performance. Keep it up!

[franklinbileth]

Fantastic use of dynamics, and solidly locked into those rhythms.

[Paradiddle]

Really enjoy watching you two guys play this. Really nice touch on the instrument

[montgomorry]

Love the performance, it's great to play along with too!

[이건우-hy]

This should have 1 million views! So underrated

[MarksRockDog]

Im not sure how you go so much reverb but i like it

[DJG]

My friend in middle school is doing this song with our band director and it sounds amazing i want to be able to do that now

[Leogryph]

Out of all performances on YouTube, I love this one the best! Excellent job! My friend and I just got the sheet music, so hopefully we will be able to play it eventually!

[MrThePercussionist]

I love your attention to detail! Nice work guys! Respect!
