Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.

I must admit that those drums do rather make me want to get up and dance.
This is a great track guys!
Nope, I don't notice any warts, not even a little pimple!

Once again,, very fine,,, long ago,, people used to clear the floor also when i got up to dance,, but it wasn't because i was good, or they wanted to watch,, i think it was more out of a desire to get away from the strange guy,, ah well youth.. well done
In Argentina they say "in Argentina everything may change - except the tango", but I couldn't resist adding some percussion to this beautiful nuevo tango by Vincent Voois, composed in the style of Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla.

LYRICS
A cool wind brings the fall
And the season starts to change.
Outside the sky's steel grey.
Inside my heart is too.
And I don't know how to…
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…
For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom!

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…

Most enjoyable!
Faith? Much better than hindsight, when you know you should have taken the basket but didn't.

I used about half of the tones produced in my stop sign video as samples looped in Kontakt and improvised on an 88 key controller in 17 equal notes per octave. Not something you'd listen to for enjoyment.

Great drumming. Bass drum kicking "Son clave" pattern the entire time while he works on the snare/cymbals... this is very difficult (for me) to do - probably why I don't play trap-set.
I wanted to see how much "music" I could get out of one chord and four notes. Sorry that it has a sort of cheesy 80s sound at times, but that's when I started playing guitar and it's hard to reprogram your brain. The chord is Bsus2 and the solo…
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…
Daisy and I both know that as soon as you get far enough away from the perimeter, the pain inflicted by the shock collar ceases, and is only a bad memory. A small price to pay for the freedom to run over the hills all night with the other freed pups.

Alas, Richard is gone. But the remaining 3 briefly together in London at the O2 a few weeks ago: May 12. Lots of YouTube videos of it - I love the part where Waters hits the wall and it digitally disintegrates beneath Gilmour, playing the solo for "Comfortably Numb".

Comments on Norm's stuff
Norm's overdubing percussion is a tight add on to this sweet funky Rreggy track. love it!
A great job there Norm those skins are definitely helping Reg's dance...........
I must admit that those drums do rather make me want to get up and dance. This is a great track guys! Nope, I don't notice any warts, not even a little pimple!
@ Richard: Keep dancing Richard - I'm right behind you and it's not going to be pretty.
Once again,, very fine,,, long ago,, people used to clear the floor also when i got up to dance,, but it wasn't because i was good, or they wanted to watch,, i think it was more out of a desire to get away from the strange guy,, ah well youth.. well done
I don't know how i missed this .... now where did i put those dancing shoes?........
yep yep yep...
Thank you for your nice comments,let us say that you have a lot of very interesting ideas using you percussion,here and there!
Ah the rich flavorful sound of the Conga is super:) thank you for that Norm!
Yes, like the Reg's say, excellent.
Faith is a gift, not something you can independently improve.
My basket is always half full......
I need to fix my basket. Inspirational, Norm.
excellent
Improv or not, this is really awesome.
a refreshing change up. one of my favs. forget the metronome. really like the (gong)? in the beginning too
Most excellent! Love that bit where the downbeat gets hidden for a time and then returns. Very cool!
Took the advice and put on the headphones. Oh yeah! Most enjoyable! Faith? Much better than hindsight, when you know you should have taken the basket but didn't.
Brilliant mate top job Norm. This is excellent mate.
Awesome. check this out Norm! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpfYt7vRHuY&feature=player_embedded#!

Hair raising!
Nice playing Chris!
Diggin' out some of the older ones! Spring Cleaning? My how things have changed...
I remember that!
Beautiful Richard!
Lovely!
Very revealing!
If things start to look like that while one is driving, I would suggest pulling over and calling a cab!
Ha! I guessed it before seeing the video!
Are you actually bowing a stop sign??
Great drumming. Bass drum kicking "Son clave" pattern the entire time while he works on the snare/cymbals... this is very difficult (for me) to do - probably why I don't play trap-set.
Great club song.
Many times less is more. It's amazing how much you got out of so little. Sounds great.
Lovely!
Paulstretch?? Sounds like the sound was stretched. Cool!

I believe that Reefwalker is just demonstrating his mathmatical skills... but I'm sure that 52 miles of barbwire walking feels like 65. :)

Somno project?? No. Bien despierto ... y sonriendo.
Rage! (Oh, and I for one am very happy that you disregarded that dark advice.)
