A couple of scores, with almost the same note material all over in all the versions - in different unique instrumentations - and eventually also with an extra unique twist mounted.
1. 33 BARS (1996, Opus 68)
Scoring:
Snare Drum section
Tenor Drum section
Clash Cymbals
Bass Drum
Duration: Various
Composed in 4 x 8 measure sections + 1. Section play randomwise, will never sound the same twice... A farewell composition to the lovely maniacs in the Percussion section of Skjern Garden (Denmark).

2. 33 BARS No. 2 (2007, Opus 170)
Scoring:
Snare Drum section
Tenor Drum section
Clash Cymbals
Bass Drum
Duration: Various, but rather long...
Composed in 4 x 8 measure sections + 1. Section play randomwise, will never sound the same twice... The 2nd version of "33 Measures" (1996, Opus 68),only with one serious difference: To be played in 33 different bars right after each other, consuming bars or beers after each single performance. Be a kamikaze, for how long can you stand it before getting green...?
May be performed on other instruments ad lib., if you dislike the instrument combinations.
