Head Talk is a percussion ensemble quintet for “drums without shells.”   The ensemble members sit on the floor and perform on stand drum heads for tom-toms, snare drum, and bongos.   These heads do not have to be new and “used heads” are often preferred.   The work also calls for Remo’s Pre-Tuned Drum Heads that are sold as a packet by Steve Weiss Music.

Head Talk is a popular percussion ensemble work and has been performed thousands of times throughout many countries.   Drummers love this piece because it is different, challenging, easy to set up and fun!
