Drummer and composer Dave King will present three distinct solo performances on December 14, accompanying Jim Hodges' exhibition Ceremony at Gladstone. Each performance—a solo drum set, a solo piano piece, and a solo electronic drum set—will take place in differing locations within the installation. Highlighting the evening, the solo drum set performance will feature a specially commissioned drum kit created by Jim Hodges Studios.
