@Bee: I believe that you are referring to the first 3 off-beats of the measure, which are played on a wood-block heavily distorted with "gated reverb"... but I've never heard a chicken that sounds like that! :)

Wonderful Norm just wonderful.....I feel blessed....I've got my headphones on and Sebastian asleep in his crib beside me.......and have too keep taking them of because I'm sure he's crying in time ....very effective
A 3 track improvisation on 7 congas roughly tuned by ear to a chromatic scale.
LYRICS:
I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne…

Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…

You're just kidding yourself if you thought I could resist the chance to add a bit of percussion to this wonderful song by Osckilo & Launched. I used Paiste Sound Discs to create a 3vs.4 polyrhythm against the delightful underlying 4/4 Spanish…

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 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…

Love that rhythm Norm! What's the 3 repeated, quiet scraping sounds made by? Sounds a bit like a chicken! Interesting!
Wonderful Norm just wonderful.....I feel blessed....I've got my headphones on and Sebastian asleep in his crib beside me.......and have too keep taking them of because I'm sure he's crying in time ....very effective
If I could play drums like this my rhythm tracks would be much better. Enjoy just sitting back and listening to the many tones and varied rhythms.
thanks Norm - I bet Francis would have loved the persistent introspection of this groove! "..illumina le tenebre de lo core mio...
Excellent organic percussion! Solid gold.
Very, very interesting and addictive pattern here Norm.
Thanks Norm!!
thanks for the listen and rating!
I hear that
Very cool! I can explain the beer being gone!!
Oooo, 2.30 ish the little bit of quiver comes in. Nice! And, gets louder. Like it!
"4" does it for me. I like the, "I mean business" beats.
Ive done a collab with Mark , but never Tharek , this is a dream team , your percussion fits like a glove with this amazing song , i love it
I don't understand the Math behind it but I know it sounds Amazing! It is impressive the story you are able to tell with beats bro.
Very cool groovin' man
This is great mate really cool.
Dandy beat...I sort of got lost in it.
I like this just as a rhythm, mellow
Lovely swaying rhythm, O King of Ze Beats!

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.
