Ha! Well, you have a point. In Reg's world, there is a woman named "Ilesa". But I have not been in the pantry with her. Most of the women in Reg's world scare me to death!

really nice,, listening to this in headphones i can almost feel/see the bending/vibrating of the drum skin,, your recordings are very rich it's kind of neat because on one hand,, one might think it's just a simple drum,, but as i listen i always hear so many sound textures/timbre from the way different parts of you hands touch/hit to the different parts of the drum being hit , it's a very rich experience, and that's not even mentioning the wonderful rhythms you show us,,,drums are a very sensual sound,,, very nicely done,,i always look forward to hearing from you Richard
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…
Instantaneously Yours is an internet collaboration between excellent percussionist Norm Harris and myself. I added 12 string, fretless bass and fretless ebowed guitar to Norm's Groove for Saint Ambrose. Since this was done for fun as a serial…

Great voice Reg.
Don't you know that you are supposed to watch that movie while listening to "Dark Side Of The Moon"?

This is a one guitar (Fender Mustang) improvisation leveraging my GR-20 into bass guitar, strings, synth wash + strumming and percussion. At 2:58 my low A string breaks and then my left forearm and hand cramps up. But it was fun as it lasted.
This is a cover of a wonderful song by Yoko Kanno, Steve Conte, & Shanti Snyder.

Just a rough version of a song I plan to record properly during this coming February's RPM Challenge.

I work with children every morning
Check their progress every night
I'm an expert with technology
And interactive…
I'm glad that it is day time here - this extraordinary sound seems to lend itself to the mysticism of the early hours. (Oh dear, I've become a blatant plagiarist.)
Lovely sounds. What a great memory of your dad.
Comments on Norm's stuff
It blows my mind how much expression you can make with pure drums -- awesome stuff!
I really like your style -- I normally don't go for pure percussion, but you definitely make it work!
Ha! Well, you have a point. In Reg's world, there is a woman named "Ilesa". But I have not been in the pantry with her. Most of the women in Reg's world scare me to death!
That's not the way Reg tells it...
"Ilesa" is a percussion pattern, not a woman! Otherwise I would have not taken the risk of being caught with her in the pantry!!
but I have to admit that my hot-chili tomato oatmeal-with-pickles pasta I made after this was pretty good. (The bottle of cabernet probably helped too).
I meant "Ilesa"! haha
2SS: Domestic? Yes. Barely. Goddess? Uh, no.

Way to work through the pain!
Simply beautiful.
Nice work!
Excellent.
"A good teacher is like a candle: it consumes itself to light the way for others."
How can I resist a bad monkey song? That devil has been in my trees too. Excellent! (Nice bump Reg)
Wow indeed!
