@Richard: Many thanks! The quick rapid tone was created by rapidly striking the mallets on the highest pitched (smallest)cabinet. Thanks for listening!

So nice. One of these days I am going to take one of your fantastic drum tracks and add something. I shoudl try a jam over this right now with the mandolin.
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!

@Sha-Pink: Thanks! I have a wide variety of different drums - you can get one view of my studio from the cover of my "collaborations" playlist. Various congas, bongos, djembes, bass drums, bells and effects instruments... but no trap-set.

Seems a shame to finish those cabinets. Put doors on them and the wife will just fill them with dishes and useless stuff like food for the kids! They're such great instruments.

What the ? Is there anything that you won't strike rhythmically with a stick or something else.....don't let B+Q know( or whoever else sells DIY stuff over there if not B+Q )
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…
HaHaHa!
I am still laughing at you, the collective interweb. No idea, right? Then admit defeat. I am the only person on earth who can conquer this melody. (Not really vain, just looking for mathematical discussion.)
With huge thanks to the awesomeinfinity Jake, Wrinkled Shirt, who let me use his gorgeous instrumental track "Gaza".
The sun left the city, from the ground
Moonlight woke up, falling down
Why are you scared, free as a bird
Now that the heat…
Chris, if I could play kit as well as MTC mixes it (or if anyone could) I would quit my day job. But, sincerely, thanks for thinking, even just for a second, that I could pull that off.
A love song for the heart break fest on the otherside.....
I DON'T KNOW
Baby don't leave
Don't leave me cold
The nights still young but it's starting to feel old
The day we met still burns bright in my mind
But I know that deep inside you…
Reg. I hate to hear you in such pain. You need a good week out with the boys some place close to the equator. When we bring you back, things will look much better. New clothes. New shoes. New hangover. New tattoo. New lease on life.

Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…

In your back yard
In the mean time
Knockin' at your door

In the darkness
I walk alone
Eternal solitude
My only home
And the path I follow
Towards the unknown
Is a path that's laid
For my steps alone
In the morning…
Comments on Norm's stuff
@Richard: Many thanks! The quick rapid tone was created by rapidly striking the mallets on the highest pitched (smallest)cabinet. Thanks for listening!
excellent!! very rich sound,, every few measures or so i hear a? quick rapid tone,, how are you making that?.. this is very neat
Do it, Dave!
So nice. One of these days I am going to take one of your fantastic drum tracks and add something. I shoudl try a jam over this right now with the mandolin.
great, uplifting and fantastic.
Stunning stuff! Gotta love polyrhythms! And impressively tight as well - the man sure got rhythm! :D
Awe inspiring performance.
Time to mic up the kitchen sink.
I wish I was Donkey Cong!
nice, those are some great cabinets...
Very nice, love the "real deal."
@Sha-Pink: Thanks! I have a wide variety of different drums - you can get one view of my studio from the cover of my "collaborations" playlist. Various congas, bongos, djembes, bass drums, bells and effects instruments... but no trap-set.
Hi Norm, what kind of percussion set up do you have? You got the rhythm in you.
Wow. If I could add more I would, but this has me stuck at "wow"
i loved this tune, congrats!
Jeez, Norm, this is great stuff. This gives me the urge to start whacking stuff in the kitchen to see what sounds I can get. Now if I can just get everyone out of the house for a bit...
very very cool..

there is "rain forest" written all over this! simply excellent..

Don’t be so cruel. Give us more Peppermint Sky. Vicious, you are.

A A new toy! And a FANTASTIC one! I can't wait to hehear more of this.
I still love it!
Where was I with Bethan Mathis? Somewhere between hyperventilating and bliss. Great work, Goose.
...
Time for me to listen to this again.
More cello!
This is still epic and one of my all time favs.
Ha! You could never lose us...
Producer of Dark Side of the Moon! I like his music too, but this was perhaps his greatest contribution... Well done.
I love the bass work here...
Time for my annual comment. A key song in the soundtrack of my life.
Outstanding guitar work here.
How lovely to hear Bee again, whom I would happily throw over my shoulder, any day.
Fuck the mean time. In the meantime, I'm going to let heaven pour all over everyone I love. Thanks for reminding me.
Ahh. Like a warm bath, rare, but delightful, my moments with Street invigorate me.
