A piece for three drummers, which has its challenges. Rather driven in terms of tempo, the piece builds up with sixteenth note grooves, á la Clyde Stubblefield, to a more complex sequence with metric modulations.

Duets are nothing unusual in jazz even under percussion instruments, as it is in the case with this arrangement. Two drummers playing more or less a open "straight ahead" duet. This piece varies in time signatures 3/4, 4/4 and 5/4, whereby the common cymbal phrasing is supplemented by turnarounds and various comping figures. Common rudiments such as flams, drags and rolls find their place in the piece, as well as a short passage based on the "2nd Line" Drumming of New Orleans.
