PERFORMANCE ON DRuMs.-A Ber-
lin correspondent writing up the
amusement Of the Prusians ut the
capitol, says: A very curious per-
tnrmance is the drum concert of the
celebrated drummer, Mr.. Julius
Weiffenbach, on sixteen drums with
forty.eight drumsticks. Sixteen
drums are placed on iron supporters,
in two rows. Those a: both ends are
placed a little higher, so that the
double row Of drums forms All arcn.
The artist shows first his skill on
a single drum, and never suspected
so much music in that single instru-
ment. The orchestra commence
then to accompany Mr.. Weiffen-
bach's play on the sixteen drums.
To describe it is quito impossible.
The artist seems to get almost frantic,
and his movements would honor an
acrobat. Without interupting the
tune for a single moment, he throws
his drumsticks about in all DIRECTIONS,
catching them again. In the same
manner he catches those thrown to
him by an attendant. Having con.
cluded this wonderful athletic musi.
cal performance, the artist again
shows his skill on . single drum.
which he places against the back at
a chair, catching drumsticks with still
greater dexterity than before. In
fact. the sticks are continually Tying
in the air. 20 that you get quite dizzy
With looking at them.
