As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…

Negative ghost rider, that polly rhythm pattern is full. Awww man, theres something about a 24 minute poly rhythm solo that makes conga stands fall apart !
Stealin' Pumpkins off the vine...
Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.

Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

Deep and raw....I FNG LOVE this, if i could fav it twice i would. It would be better if you could play this over very large speakers in an ampitheater. Low bass shakin your knee's.

Written and recorded as part of our family RPM project this year. :-D
13 year old Jasmine on vocals and ukulele.
We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.
A collab with K.Davidsen, Dave Berry and Speed Demon (Gene) that I never put up but it's a cool tune and these guys rock so I floated it up to the cloud!
After several bottles of wine, thetworegs and I were able to coerce Elvis and a few others down in regs basement to come out for a long overdue collab. After all, isn't October collab month?
Thanks again for the great vox!!
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…

this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,

Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW

So it has been a while since my last RPM. I felt this song was the best was to reintroduce myself with the insane process that is the RPM Challenge....
Ukulele and vocals performed by Jazz, 12.
She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.
This is a recording from my i phone off my back deck at home in Mill Valley tonight. Everyone howls at 8 pm for 1 minute in solidarity for the healthcare providers during this pandemic with COVID 19. its been going on for over 2 weeks now…
Home from work for 9 days. How is everyone doing? Stay safe and have fun on this weird global time off! got a new FX peddle , super octave, that im using here instead of a bass guitar.
Enjoy! Reef
I recorded the sound samples at St Marks Basilica on the spot....the story you are about to hear is true; not even the names have changed to protect the innocent.
Reg is back on the drink there was no escaping it. He found out that Desirea was not what he thought she was, she had been telling him lies and his hopes were dashed again.............. theres a little mess up on the Xylophone but what can you…
Reg. Stop. This is not good for you. Just copy and paste the following to Desirea: "I just booked you a flight to Gofuckyourselfville and your departure is now."
Desirea has done a number on Reg, she stole his Credit cards birth certificate and passport and has cloned him to at least a dozen banks that he knows of. He has lost his house his car everything he has./ And to top it all he cant sleep for missing…
Comments on Norm's stuff
Killer track!
Very incredibly super fine in every way. Monstrous good sound here guys. Norm your percussion is spot on the money, great, great drumming here.
I sometimes forget how good you are, bro. This one reminds me...
Excellent! I hate it when a nut falls off!
I can't help but chuckle when I read the title, but I guess I'm quite juvenile :) I think this is great work, Norm, and so pro as usual. Nothing like real beats - Period!
hey your time was utilized correctly. i love the beat!
excellent! I really like this one

Deep and raw....I FNG LOVE this, if i could fav it twice i would. It would be better if you could play this over very large speakers in an ampitheater. Low bass shakin your knee's.

Wow.
Your the greatest Reg! Many thanks and Merry Christmas! 12 years to the day that I uploaded that one...
Great to hear you 2 again. What else do you have in that vault of yours? Where I am from we must really watch out for the moonshine...
What a lovely suprise! Fantastic work Jasmine - it must be a dominant genetic mutation...
Epic.
Don't do it Reg!
I just got the lyrics of this song tattooed down the right side of my ribcage.
Epic.
...still, sort of spooky.
No. John, I seriously do not think this was a dream. He was driving with his legs and playing Bongos the entire time.
This is still so good.
I miss Daisy. (Run Daisy, run!) The collar is off!!
Just what the hell did you tell that splinter?? Stop talking to the enemy!! Nice work here.
Big things in your future, Jazz. I love it. Thanks.
Wait. In my mind it sounds like this all of the time. Nice Conch Ally! P.S. I can hear Mo laughing in the background. :)
Fantastic. And I agree with Bee, it was just the thing for my nice sunny afternoon in her garden.
Now underwater.
Reg. Stop. This is not good for you. Just copy and paste the following to Desirea: "I just booked you a flight to Gofuckyourselfville and your departure is now."
How many times has she ruffied you Reg? Be honest!
