Dear Ensemble Bash
I remember the piece in which you play a drum, You started playing softly and slowly then you hit the drum faster and faster but with the same strength as when you started.

I could not believe how loud it was after a few seconds. I felt, for a bit, afterwards deaf but I did enjoy it. That was the first instrument show I’ve been to. I think you did that act brilliantly. I could not believe my eyes when I saw all those instruments. It was absolutely super. I wish I could come again.
Yours sincerely

Alexander
