@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..

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.

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

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 )

One of my all time favorite songs. Great job!

Awesome, sax man!

Beautiful, once again!

Menacing!

Great set. I really enjoyed it.

So when you are playing this song on the Fender Mustang, you are hearing it in Sorog tuning, right? But the note that you are playing on the guitar is changed to another pitch by the Roland, so you must have the headset plugged into the Roland output, right?

Vaisvil's response to my question was enlightening: wild stuff! "well, no actually, it is the Roland GR-20 that gets re-tuned. Performing in many tunings with acoustic instruments is problematic and while I've seen a few attempts none of them I could afford. One could de-fret and re-fret a guitar but not only is it time consuming you then have either many guitars or a commitment to one tuning for a good space of time. So.. long story short - musical electronics are making microtonal music practical. Of course this is purely from a western perspective - other cultures have been performing microtonal music for millennial. Or, as a Turkish composer told me - the west is the real microtonal music because its the compromise compared to other cultures."

This is brilliant. Perhaps my favorite of your work so far.

Way to collaborate, guys! Bravo!

Great tune/voice. It is interesting how a particular smell or sound can instantly summon the gift of recall.

You actually tune the Fender Mustang to the Sorog tuning, right?

You've done a great job of really listening to the conga pattern - you picked up the "melody" the drums are playing and duplicated it nicely with your guitars. Man, when I hear it together, it becomes very clear how off key my drum tuning is, and how a membranophone, by its very multi-tonal nature, is really tough to accompany when it is played in a melodic fashion. It is very brave of you Brian to even attempt to collaborate with such unconventional drumming – if I expect others to collaborate with my percussion tracks, I would probably be wise to produce patterns that are less melodic… and leave the melody up to my fellow collaborators on the chordophones, aerophones and electrophones. Well done!

The vocal harmony work on this one is right-on!

I still love it.

I've seen that video before, and always cherish it when I can have dreams like this at night. One of my favs! And listening to this song while watching it adds another dimension! Great voice, mix, orchestral support and over-all production. Well done!

Very nice!

Great voice work!

All of your stuff sounds so pro. Well done!

@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.

Yes! In the groove. I love it when that happens... it remains a mystery to me how that works, but I think part of it is really listening to each other.
