In the autumn program of BIT Teatergarasjen 2000 the following is written about the production Drumming by Rosas:
"In Drumming Keersmaeker takes use of Steve Reich's musical piece by the same name. The piece is among the most characteristic minimal musical pieces from the 1970es, written for percussion only.
The twelve dancers dance a choreography that is at the same time complex and simple. A simple rhythmic pattern of a couple of seconds is the main motif of the whole composition. The piece is a gradual, musical process. Reich's music has a dynamic of its own, in which the pulse carries and connects. It is hypnotically dynamic and has a trance-like effect, which is transferred to the choreography."
