And the Beat Goes On: percussion in film

Sound of Cinema

Available for over a year

Matthew Sweet bangs the drum for the inventive ways films use percussion. There's Tan Dun's taiko masterclass of a score in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the delicate and lyrical marimba in American Beauty, John Williams' ritualistic drums in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Justin Hurwitz's obsessive kit in Whiplash. To listen on most smart speakers just say "Ask ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds to play Sound of Cinema".
