This is so complex rhythmically that I don't know *how* to play along. I'm not sure if one should - it stands on its own - wow. This is a lesson here. Please send Alex my regards for his skill and sharing his cultural heritage.

Inside my heart is too.

As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…

Poor old Reg is feeling a bit insignificant after being unseen by a woman he liked the look of who turned out to be only interested in the material things she could get.....it's a shame but there seems to be a lot of them out there and Love doesn…
Well, the guitar was a good strategy... guitarists always gets the girl! But don’t show up with your bongos:

to cheer himself up Reg thought he'd go down the Casino and see if he could find those riches at the roulette table...so he borrowed some money of Big Ed and suited himself up and away he went....but it didn't quite go to plan and now he has to…
OK we lost power at a critical point in recording for RPM. This one was written and recorded the day I had to pack up all my recording gear and borrow a room at a local public business which was on a different power grid. The wind had caused some…

This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?
Comments on Norm's stuff
this is good, i really like the timing of all these nice percussions. i was tilting the whole time.
Great beat nice one. And thanks for your recent comment.
Great stuff Norm!
Alex tu m'as rappele encore les ceremonies de deces de mon pere ou le hugan a ete joue.
Still one of my favs....
Drum Man!
As for playing with it, I would say, listen to the shaker. It's keeping a steady beat most of the time.
thanks for sharing this. It's great and also educational :)

Yes, I'm loving these great pieces from Alex - Fantastic! The recording quality has been excellent along the way as well.
Rythmic genius
I really love these, well recorded also,. BTW, I cant believe you didnt keep one of the kitchen cabinets on the drum room- those sounded awesome
Spirited playing. A lesson learned for me.
amazing playing! and when closing the eyes, it transports you there right way.. excellent drums!
norm, nice one man.
Very cool!
This is great that he played this with the "tape" running! Can I use this? I would not alter it, as you mentioned it shoud'nt be.
SWEET!!!!! This are some Awesome Beats!
Wow, sharp shooting voodoo! What a treat! Thanks for sharing!
magic rhythm
Comments made by Norm
I love your long productions... this one is a bit un-nerving.
Perfect listen for what I am doing today. Quite an impressive effort producing a piece of this magnitude. Thanks!
Awesome!
Nice demonstration of the glissando technique on the conga drum.
If I close my eyes I am almost at the SoHo Lounge...
Excellent!
Great to hear some more stuff from you!
Lovely clave pattern on the snare(?). Great song.
You guys are excellent.
Sounds just like Tamer Hosny.
Well, the guitar was a good strategy... guitarists always gets the girl! But don’t show up with your bongos: Q: What do you call a good-looking girl on the arm of a percussionist? A: A tattoo.
You are a high-roller, Reg. Great stuff!
Lots of great imagery and space created with this!
Beautiful!
Dreamy!
A happy ending Reg?
Dreamy chorus.
Strong work, team! Love the keys.
9/10 "in tune".
Merry Christmas Reg.
