@Bee: I believe that you are referring to the first 3 off-beats of the measure, which are played on a wood-block heavily distorted with "gated reverb"... but I've never heard a chicken that sounds like that! :)

A 3 track improvisation on 7 congas roughly tuned by ear to a chromatic scale.

I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne…

Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…

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…

I dreamed I met a Galilean;
A most amazing man.
He had that look you very rarely find:
The haunting, hunted kind.
I asked him to say what had happened,
How it all began.
I asked again, he never said a word.
As if he hadn't heard.
And…
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!

The passport, acapulco and finding out about the affair with Reg was the final straw ithe saga of Desirea and Reg is finally over Reg has drawn a line in the sand and stepped over it. It over and done he washes his hands of her. So he went out…
@Goose: by "she", do you mean to imply that you asked Desirea to go to a Rod Stewart concert and she wouldn't go with you, but *did* go (on your ticket) with your friend??
Typical Desirea. He must have had more money than you did... and heaven only knows what horrors he eventually had to go through with her. Just be grateful that *you* dodged that bullet, and Reg, *let this be a leason for you.*
Reg has nipped down the cellar tonight to contemplate the big question...this is what he came up with ...he could be wrong who knows...and now he's going for a nice hot bath...............
Reg heard the color of the lonely street by Vaisvil and Norbert and got himself all Jazzy inside.... so he's released it .........by going out for a walk along the lonely street..........
The husbands point of view to this one http://alonetone.com/thetworegs/tracks/your-never-too-old-to-be-a-fool-w-the-old-grey-wolf..... Well Reg has taken on the part of the wronged husband and has been dwelling on his problems all day and now…
Well Reg couldn't end on a bad note tonight not after listening to Norms new track so here's a lovey dovey one to end the night in the hope that Reg can find true love ....it is possible isn't it?........Thanks Norm

My Fender Mustang + Marshall Amp + I dragged out the whammy bar - AKG D950 mic behind the amp and Zoom H2 in front - dropped the tracks into sonar and panned a bit. I also midi recorded the guitar and used the midi to drive upright bass, albino…
This one is for a fest over on Songcrafters called Live in the Living room. I've been trying to play it properly.... seems for hours but my fingers hurt so much i've thrown the towl in and this one will have to do until i can play better…

Well tonight we have Mr. Waites in the cellar only for one song but oh what a song it was he sang it for us to celebrate our new single life and to express where our love for Desirea was .......in the Cold Cold Ground......... (They dropped the…
After the other Reg knew that i found out about his affair with Desirea he's done the right thing to save thetworegs and finished with her, he wanted Elvis to help him out on this one he wouldn't he was a little upset at his behaviour. So the…
Excellent!
Let me get this straight - Desiree has had affairs with BOTH of the Regs? Ha! Well, just don't let that twisted groupie break up the band... she's not worth it!!

Love that rhythm Norm! What's the 3 repeated, quiet scraping sounds made by? Sounds a bit like a chicken! Interesting!
Wonderful Norm just wonderful.....I feel blessed....I've got my headphones on and Sebastian asleep in his crib beside me.......and have too keep taking them of because I'm sure he's crying in time ....very effective
If I could play drums like this my rhythm tracks would be much better. Enjoy just sitting back and listening to the many tones and varied rhythms.
thanks Norm - I bet Francis would have loved the persistent introspection of this groove! "..illumina le tenebre de lo core mio...
Excellent organic percussion! Solid gold.
Very, very interesting and addictive pattern here Norm.
Thanks Norm!!
thanks for the listen and rating!
I hear that
Very cool! I can explain the beer being gone!!
Oooo, 2.30 ish the little bit of quiver comes in. Nice! And, gets louder. Like it!
"4" does it for me. I like the, "I mean business" beats.
Ive done a collab with Mark , but never Tharek , this is a dream team , your percussion fits like a glove with this amazing song , i love it
I don't understand the Math behind it but I know it sounds Amazing! It is impressive the story you are able to tell with beats bro.
Very cool groovin' man
This is great mate really cool.
Dandy beat...I sort of got lost in it.
I like this just as a rhythm, mellow
Lovely swaying rhythm, O King of Ze Beats!

Stretchy!
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine.
I still love this one Rick!
Yep. Still.

Great cover of a great song. Well done team!
Superb album! Many thanks!
The synth work is heavenly. I want to do the percussion for the car chase scene in the Savage gangster movie.
Totally pro.
Yes, very impressive! Great stuff.
Totally pro. Dig it!
Beuatiful collaboration, gents.
Eegads! That ending!
Way to go in 2/4!
This would be a big hit in the Dominican Republic. Nice work, mon.
What can I say?
Strong work.
...and playing it back clean!
Good cover and good riddance!
