High Drive, The

Reel · 4/4 · D major

The High Drive is a modern Scottish reel in 4/4 time and D major composed by the influential piper Gordon Duncan. Characterized by its driving rhythm, intricate phrasing, and contemporary compositional style, it has become a popular favorite within modern traditional and session repertoires. Because the tune was written in recent decades, it does not carry an older historical association, but it is widely celebrated as a masterwork of contemporary bagpipe music.
