@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.

@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.

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...

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 )
A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
Didnt mean to have a political slant but had just got denied my large order soft drink in Manhattan.
All thats left are the small sodas with the "NY loves big cans" tee shirts
This is a collab song with MTC. I almost hated adding anything to it cuz the first track he sent me was kickass vintage Jim. It totally changed flavors in the collab process, but still one of my favs
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

always moving closer

I've been messing and listening to a lot of Tom Waites i suppose his influence has rubbed of a bit ...well a little anyway...........
I want the love (Lyrics)
Crawling in the gutter trying to stand with phone
To tell you that I love you…
Another with the £16 special.............
My baby, she don't want me (Lyrics)
My baby, she don't want me,
i don't know what to do
i need her,
i believed her
she was hollow and untrue
My baby, she don't want me,
i don't know what to do
i need…
Another with the £16 special.......We know he isn't really i mean he's here with me now in the cellar............
HE’S GONE (lYRICS)
IT WAS A CARELESS LOVE THAT TOOK HIM AWAY
OF COURSE THERE WAS NEVER GONNA BE THE RIGHT KINDA DAY
TO SAY GOODBYE…
Reg went out last night to a bonfire party....Man does he meet some strange women...........so he got his £16 special down from the wall and penned this little ditty in rememberence...........
I felt her Pain (Lyrics)
i was the stranger in town…

I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…

I had the pleasure of hearing an alternative version of this song. One where the green fairy exploded. It was good. Norm agrees that a) both versions are awesome, and that b) bottle rockets are good. ~Eloise
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..

Menacing!
I wish I had been there. With Kirk. First round's on me. Send a double up to the guitar player.
Very clever Reg. I agree.
...a match made in heaven.
Pssst. Hey buddy. Over here. I can hook you up with a 32oz Mountain Dew...
Totally pro.
Go Team!
HOLD THE PHONE!! This is unusually excellent. I really enjoyed this one, on all levels. And listen to your sister... up just a bit with the vocals.
One of your tightest yet!
Yes, this was Dan's best album.
Ok. Now, finally, it is clear who I must vote for.
Ha! fun video. Did you use any effects on that?
"This video is private". Now I REALLY want to see it...
That IS an awesome gong clip.
This smacks of Desiree. Get over it Reg!
@David: Haha! You mean this is not in regard to Michael Jackson??
Far out indeed. Nice work.
did it hurt so good?
What the hell??!!?? Where are the bottle rockets? (Enjoying Absinthe as I write this)
