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 :)

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.

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

STILL excellent.

Yes!

Powerful, bro. Powerful.

Excellent!

Good grief! I didn't realize until today that I had plagiarized the name of this song for one of my percussion tracks. Please accept my apologies. I named my track that because my studio was inundated with the little buggers during my recording session… I hadn’t heard your wonderful piece before. (How embarrassing!) Here in western Virginia, we have never seen anything like it before this year: they get into everything. Great string work!

Still loving it.

Man can I relate to this. Great, just great.

Delightful!

Still fantastic.

Just beautiful. Well done!

Great meter changes here and I love the lyrics.

Excellent!

More tremendous pirate insights. Very clever!

Ohhh, I like what you've done with this! Beautiful string work here. Many thanks!

This song is special to me for a few reasons: one of which is that this was my very first on-line collaboration, just a few days after I had begun to learn the very basics of recording/mixing. Chris has been very kind to put up with my steep learning curve: it's been a very educational (and humbling) experience.

Ok, I'm ready for the song describing how the guys go off to a secluded island/mountain cabin/desert cave with their instruments, a case of scotch and a Weber grill. In the future, please use my percussion patterns to write a song likw that.

I hated this song from the moment I heard it. It was the last song in the world I wanted to hear. I still hate it, but I listen to it every day.

Rocks!

I'm not so sure the tunes selected by Ramen music necessarily reflect the popular vote as demonstrated by Alonetone "most favorited", etc. And it is a thankless job, inherently biased, to make selections for Ramen Music. I don't envy the position of the editors. Alas, that was historically one of the problems that lead to the demise of other record labels... In any case, don't let it work on your head. You have a sizeable fan base and we LOVE what you are producing. Now, return to your studio and get back to work: we are hungry for more!

Amen. It just doesn't always feel like it from our perspective. But thanks for reminding me again.
