If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
This is a 3/16 Bembe on tuned congas, played with mallets. I've arranged it (at the very kind suggestion of Vaisvil & ReefWalker) in a verse/chorus/bridge/capo fashion to get away from a straight pattern - I think this sort of arrangement…

While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…

Yes - I love it. Pure, frustration relieving raw energy!! I'm being cleansed just from listening. Solid Dynomite!
(Oh, and the dirty sheet, ha! It was a dirty window that I hadn't cleaned in a while. I was going to use "filthy sheet of dirt" but it didn't fit in the song :) Either way I gotta wash that freakin' window!)

This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…

This songs reminds me that this is the moment i have. No longer looking for the dawn for the dawn is here.
This is the moment
this is the moment
that i've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
the dawn and the dawn is coming soon
This is a good place for me to be....it does me good to remember this.
God around me
God within me
there's nothing i need to fear
always remember you're here
I was thinking about Haiti...
i don't know what to say
i don't know how to feel
when i'm way over here
and things are going well
my house is standing still
my friends are still alive
the smell of spring is in the air
and i just can't connect…
Written for a friend of mine.
be and i will be with you
you are a light house in this storm
you will overcome
you will overcome this storm
don't fear the wall for you will climb upon it.
you will see from higher ground
and the sun…
Improvisation on congas and very fragile, clay Moroccan bongos (which my brother found for me from an African display at some zoo!). These bongos are basically clay pots with permanent, very thin goat skins stretched over the top - they can not…
This is the first tune I wrote using an actual loop pedal. I really like the rawness of its form. The sound is sharp, it kind of attacks your ear.. but then after it loops around a few times, it calms down and sinks in..
I expect that there will…

Norm Harris performs the excellent percussion
Down by the riverside
Where all of the fish had died
I threw my faith right in
When I saw it, it was sinking
Oh don't you go
Don't you even dare
Don't run away until you…
A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys.
I was at a friends house and saw a little…
Comments on Norm's stuff
inspiring.
Outstanding! Shakers, cowbell,and mallets?? Wow! I'm off to bum my brother's bongos. MORE DRUM SOLOS!!
Yeah, this is pure gravy, bro! Spicy and lively. That cowbell is awesome and mixed perfectly!
Norm the Lion King! Nice!
this is africa and it takes you right at the hear of it! - and still one my faves..
excellent groove - it will be interesting to see what AT folks can do with it. (I hope!!)
love your grooves. This is so subtle and infectious.
no need even for a derbekkeh, it's already in your sound, and with some great rolls! really good vibe!
groovy. plays well together
Oh you just totally rule. I mean, for goodness sake. I have a tambourine...hmm.
Yes - I love it. Pure, frustration relieving raw energy!! I'm being cleansed just from listening. Solid Dynomite! (Oh, and the dirty sheet, ha! It was a dirty window that I hadn't cleaned in a while. I was going to use "filthy sheet of dirt" but it didn't fit in the song :) Either way I gotta wash that freakin' window!)
cool man!
Of all the tambourine solos that I've heard over the years this has to be the best.
very cool fellas!
Damn, that's awesome. Double stamped!!!
Yea, top notch fellas. A five way collab is off the charts. I know this was fun, and difficult. Great!!!!
great sound,, well hit
Fine jammin" guys!
Never get tired of scratching! Awesome work, fellas!
Right on guys! Lots of fun, hats off to Al!
Comments made by Norm
Awesome.
They tell me that "do not be afraid" is the most common scriptural command. This song is a beautiful reminder of that. Many thanks.
I can add nothing more than agreement to all of the preceding wonderful comments. Many thanks.
The harmonies are perfect and the lyrics fantastic... very profound and comforting.
Many thanks, Launched! It is always a blast working with ReefWalker.
Excellent! A loop pedal - how fun! Nice work here!
Nice Calypso beat!
I love your steel guitar work...
Very soulful. Well done!
Wailin'! I like how you end the song on the same pitch as the dial tone. "I'm out of here!"
Stunning.
This is a true piece of history, in more ways than one!
I'm really glad you posted this one. I love the sax work...
I just love this one...
Solid.
You must be surfing in California. You may find the temperature more appealing in Hawaii or Central America! ;) Thanks for listening!!
Ha! I agree - in fact I'm fairly certain that it is an unalienable right for all; but you've got to be very good about the sunscreen.
This DOES rock. Great concept, too.
You two did a great job with this. Tabla jazz - yes!
I must agree with Savage. Wendy's background voice is wonderful and really makes this one drift. I just love that. Well done.
