Allan Mednard
Drums Solo on
Maroon Nebula

About

Allan Mednard's drum solo is the third and final solo on "Maroon Nebula" from Arcoiris Sandoval's 2018 album First Voyage. Mednard closes the trio's round-robin solo sequence at approximately 232 BPM in F with a waltz feel, completing a performance where all three members take individual turns. The waltz feel provides a distinctive framework for drum improvisation, with the three-beat pattern offering different rhythmic possibilities than standard 4/4 time. This track, along with "Spiral into Oblivion," showcases Mednard's ability to hold his own as a featured soloist alongside the trio's leader.
