Disruption! The title – already sounding like an explosive triplet – refers to the fire, plague, despots, social upheaval and climate change buffeting 2020, but it could also refer to the drums' disruptive power, musically. What other instrument boasts such dynamic range and rhythmic impetus, or can tear such rents in the sonic fabric?

Despite the brilliance of drummers across a host of traditions, unaccompanied percussion remains off most people's playlists. But that hasn't stopped two of Australia's finest practitioners, Simon Barker and Chloe Kim, releasing albums of exactly that. Barker is already a major innovator on the world stage, and Kim, a generation younger, is rapidly becoming so distinctive as to be an innovator in her own right.
