Percussion

The percussion section are another team that are shared between brass bands and orchestras. Normally, one player will specialise in the ‘tuned’ instruments (xylophone, glockenspiel, timpani) whilst another player will focus on ‘kit’ parts (snare, cymbals, bass drum, tom toms etc). In practice though, most percussionist will be multi-talented and able to play tuned or kit parts. Some pieces do call for a third percussion player. The section is led by the the lead percussionist.

Here is a list of our current percussionists:
