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

I like the drum work that you have added to this. "We speak in different time signatures" = brilliant!

I have adored this song since I first heard it over a year ago. It's great to have you on Alonetone, Liam!

Listened to the entire thing this morning. Wonderful! Production comments?

Rocks! I'd love to see you guys live. How do I get tickets?

Your harmonies are always amazing! Thanks!

I still adore this.

The guitar, bass and trap-set are working well together on this. I like it! If that's not enough to make her stay, you are better off without her. Didn't I already add percussion to this? Yep - that's definately my head banging against the wall in the back-ground.

The emerald green essence turns to the color of a Monarch’s chrysalis and the dripping sugar swirls into a gentle cloud. As your guitar carries me away, I smile and turn to the nonchalant fairy sitting next to me, who hands me a rather large bottle rocket.

Thanks for loading my cabinets up with such tasty awesomeness!

Yep, Byrne-ish indeed!

Awesome! Your mom must be proud!

@Richard: Guilty as charged. But what happens on AloneTone stays on AloneTone. We're glad you are here! @Sis: All of my beats are grabbable. That's what they're here for... I'm happy to steal a pumpkin for you any time. My patterns are alot like pumpkins: you don't have to ask - just grab one and run. I thought you guys may be ready for a straight forward 4/4 pattern to play with instead another of my rhythmically esoteric patterns.

Are you playing the dig on this one by any chance?

I wonder how many days a month they would let me get away with going in there and jamming for awhile? "Hey! Would you guys mind holding off on the over-head customer service announcements? I'm recording here!!"

Brilliant! I'm usually asked to leave Sam Ashe after a couple hours of playing on all of their cool percussion toys. Surprisingly, some folks don't have an appreciation for extended drum solos... and some might even be inclined to give you a nasty look if you just laugh when they ask you to stop. Note to self: save the gong trials for the last.

Yes! One of your best yet. Awesome is the correct word.

Ha! This is just what I had in mind for this pattern... and delivered most excellently by a real life surfer: perfect!

Sweeeet!

whoops! Forgot to log in for that last comment...

Hey, isn't that George Burns?
