Programs skated to percussion

[Weathergal]

While reading the thread Programs skated to the Spoken Word, I was thinking of other less "traditional" things to skate to like percussion. I know, for instance, that many people weren't too keen on Carolina Kostner's music choice when she skated to "God of Thunder" / "Bonzo's Montreaux," but I love that program! Another favorite is Michal Brezina's "Japanese Kodos Drums" program.

How do you feel about programs skated to percussion? Do you have any favorites?

I thought Elvis Stojko and Krylova and Oksianikov have skated famously to drums/percussion.

Elvis' short program was to Japanese Kodo drums in 1998 (Nagano Olympics).

Todd Eldredge skated to a percussion program (I think it was called "Drums") in a skating show called "Scott Hamilton & Friends" (Philadelphia, PA, October 2002). It was a one time program & we were there.

I loved Kostner's God of thunder.

Not a full program, but at the time, I remember people commenting about Virtue and Moir's choice to skate the OD non-touching step sequence to just percussion in their Farrucas Olympic-year program (2010).

Wow, wow, wow! I've always loved Kurt's skating but this is sublime even for him (and I really think this in the most positive way). The interpretation, the foot work, the posture, whatever. There aren't many who can pull this off, and he delivers!

Nikolaj Majorov all the best to him with this performance in Stockholm

Shoma Uno's Great Spirit and Yuma Kagiyama's Vocussion both have parts of pure percussion.

- SlSt in Eye
- StSq in In the Garden of Souls (Two songs are layered here. The percussion is from Ceremony of Passage, the hammered dulcimer? from Sevdama.)
