As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
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…

Negative ghost rider, that polly rhythm pattern is full. Awww man, theres something about a 24 minute poly rhythm solo that makes conga stands fall apart !

Abakua refers to a secret, Afro-Cuban, male society of percussionists - as I understand it, one had to be initiated into this society before they would be taught how to play percussion in their style. One of their hallmarks is to impose what I…

Deep and raw....I FNG LOVE this, if i could fav it twice i would. It would be better if you could play this over very large speakers in an ampitheater. Low bass shakin your knee's.

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…
@Geas:
Uh, that would have freaked me out too. And how about when you have your headphones up loud, really focusing on the project, and you look up and somebody has (quietly, so as not to disturb you) walked into the studio to ask you a question or something? I've had to edit out a explicit derogatory once in awhile - but the adrenaline rush is awesome!
almost forgotten because while i did this in may of 2009, i forgot about it until just today may 2011,,i was walking out my studio door, when i noticed an old cd with a marking pen title,, brought it with me in the car and took a listen,, not…
Well, here's a quick stripped-down version of a song that I wrote a couple of weeks ago and needed to record just to get it out of my head... Also my first crack at harmonizing with myself (kinda cool, but a bit weird for me to hear me singing…

I heard this beat of Norms this morning bright and early an had to jump all over ilesa in my mind she was her instead of a town it was fun but it didn't last.....the same old story.....it was her fault she was too hot.......What can i say
"I'm dancin'! Ilesa I'm dancin'!". Come to Daddy!! Let's beat it down!
Love the Rhodes as always and Reg had me crackin' up with this one! Ilesa never saw him coming when she walked into that disco, but I doubt she will ever be able to forget his "classic moves".
Somewhere there is a big arena band that would just love to meet you - to handle the graphics for the show. I can remember when we were blown away by a simple liquid oil projection set-up, ala Iron Butterfly, Grateful Dead, et. al. But this really takes the cake. Well done.
Reg was out for a stroll in town and met Jed who was homeless sitting on the pavement with his hat out in front of him. Reg stopped to have a chat with him to see if he could help. Reg expected him to have a sad story but to his surprise he hadn…
Comments on Norm's stuff
Killer track!
Very incredibly super fine in every way. Monstrous good sound here guys. Norm your percussion is spot on the money, great, great drumming here.
I sometimes forget how good you are, bro. This one reminds me...
Excellent! I hate it when a nut falls off!
I can't help but chuckle when I read the title, but I guess I'm quite juvenile :) I think this is great work, Norm, and so pro as usual. Nothing like real beats - Period!
hey your time was utilized correctly. i love the beat!
excellent! I really like this one

What a treasure to find! I agree with Reefwalker: there's lots of good stuff in this one.
Chuckie! Nice work. Ominous.
Strong work!
Sweet!
I just love that growling fretless bass.
This is really cool Chris.
A great cover of a legendary song. More Ziggy!
Stay away from the mirrors Reg!
Much beauty can be cultivated in 80 years... and perhaps true beauty always forgets itself.
I like the reverb on this one Reg. Have you considered an exorcism?
WHOAA!
Now that's an impressive 5 minute gestation. How did the harp work as a ski?
Sidney is my kind of guy!
Excellent splash cymbal you have there Hojo! What kind is it?
Good question.

Good lesson here... nice to meet a non-addicted vagabond to refresh one's perspective.
