Perpetuo by Thomas R. Marceau is a percussion quartet comprised primarily of consistent sixteenth note figures on keyboard percussion instruments. This is a great piece for students with a lot of drumming experience, but who might be less focused on keyboard percussion, since it only has a select number of pitches in each part.
