Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…
A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.
(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…

My contribution to this year's RPM Kitchen Challenge.
Very silly.
Well, can’t you see the baby’s crawling
And pulling up all by herself
I can’t imagine what will be falling
When she climbs up on the shelf
See how much she likes to…
Ok, so I'm just a percussionist, and if your only tool is a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail. I get it. And I also get that our songs are our children, so we should be very careful about whom we let them play with.
When I first heard…
well, I've given you guys a couple years to answer this.What is the time signature on this piece? Can you snap your fingers to it?
Didn't think so.
Chris, this is a master piece. I just love it still.
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.
A new son reveals…
@Shirt: *Pilón* is not only the name of this pattern, but also the name of a town on the southern coast of Cuba. Perhaps both Pilón coffee and the pattern are connected to that town in some way.

@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! :)
We join our friends from the cellar on their annual camping trip into the middle of nowhere...they decide to have a little fun and sing a song round the campfire to stop the arguing........if you know the song why not join in…
Uncle Reg has another story for you children ....now sit still.....and listen....i know its a music site but you may like a story........ i know my children do
This is a reading of one of my favourite books, that I read for my children, they are always totally absorbed not only is the story superb but the artistry by Axel Scheffler is also fantastic. During the telling of the story i must cover every…
Well....the lead in the background and the main is done by a vocal Fx ......no guitars were harmed ......the rest of the music was my trusty M-audio Pro keys ......i sent it over to the other Reg as an example of what i wanted him to do with…
Ha! It thrills me to hear guitar replaced by vocal Fx! **Take that, you string pluckers!** You can be replaced!!
*Ahem*. Excuse me. I'm transferring my grudge for drum machines and drum sampling...
I'm better now.
*But still snickering a little.*
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
This is my first of the year so a Happy new year to all and thanks Norm for the beat .....hope you enjoy.
Stories of ghosts and the devil abound in Puerto Rican folktales. In the southern part of the island, it is said that most of these stories…
this is a jam that me and two friends did. i am a fan of the chili peppers and hendrix. of course there's more i like but you would definitely hear that in what i am playing on the guitar. let me know what you guys think.
Once again the source material is a snippet of beautiful piano from [Sudara](http://alonetone.com/sudara) only this time I fed it to a new Reaktor instrument that I am working on call Tukuramu.
Okay so tukuramu does not mean earth-quake but…
Comments on Norm's stuff
very nice,, if i could not play the piano (when i grow up) i would like to be a percussionist,, you make it sound soooo good
You make this sound easy. You ole pro you.
@Jarvis: Stick to your ears - musically speaking, nothing else matters. Thanks!
I read what you wrote....I listened to what you played......I liked what you played and got perplexed at what you wrote...so I'll stick with my ears....80)
I found myself rocking back and forth a little while listening. This is very addictive!
Love It!!!
I like the percussion instrument choices and the way additional instruments are progressively added in waves, clean track
:)
@MTC: Ha! Cross-overs are fun no matter who makes them. But it's cool you get the concept. Thanks.
way to get those rolls in there as well. killer.
Very sweet :) I wonder if you were thinking...."if all these damn guitarists are just going to make crossover patterns from my beats, i'll just make a crossover pattern mayself. ;) haha FAV'D
Another great piece Norm....just love your sense of rhythm
So what happened to Johnny? This is the only thing that remains. Did I miss something?
Still beautiful........
Damn- How did I miss this? Brilliant!
I'm trying to find the words to say why I liked this. The best I can come up with: "it's real".
4/4 bpm...awesome!
Sweet groove
You got the beat man.
the individual samples for propane are stretched (and filtered) but not the composition.

Great voices, Reg.
Hahahaha! Good one Uncle Reg!
Fantastic cover! Smooth as silk.
Just one more story, Uncle Reg! PLEEEEEASE?
Aw, now I want curried porcupine...

Ha! That should teach her!

Yes, this is STRANGELY enchanting. I don't usually go for this sort of stuff but I have really enjoyed this!
