Informed by Afrological principles of drum ensemble playing, Lesley Mok performs on a percussion kit assembled especially for the ensemble. She combines bongos, cowbells, temple blocks, cymbals, and floor tom, and employs diverse performance techniques to produce a dynamic range of timbres and orchestrations. A true experimentalist, she has been mentored by Vijay Iyer, Henry Threadgill, Danilo Perez, Terri Lyne Carrington, and others.
