@Richard: Many thanks! The quick rapid tone was created by rapidly striking the mallets on the highest pitched (smallest)cabinet. Thanks for listening!

So nice. One of these days I am going to take one of your fantastic drum tracks and add something. I shoudl try a jam over this right now with the mandolin.
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!

@Sha-Pink: Thanks! I have a wide variety of different drums - you can get one view of my studio from the cover of my "collaborations" playlist. Various congas, bongos, djembes, bass drums, bells and effects instruments... but no trap-set.

Jeez, Norm, this is great stuff. This gives me the urge to start whacking stuff in the kitchen to see what sounds I can get. Now if I can just get everyone out of the house for a bit...

Seems a shame to finish those cabinets. Put doors on them and the wife will just fill them with dishes and useless stuff like food for the kids! They're such great instruments.

An experiment in minimalism ala 2004 inspired by the likes of Muslim Gauze. Dumped a Korg ES-1 drum track into Nuendo...cut it up...then added a sample of an ancient Greek song of Mourning...cut that sucker up too...and this is the result. I did…
I decided to take this classic Doors song in a totally different direction to the first one i put up......so here it is hope you enjoy it as much as i did doing it..........
The average person thinks as many as 50,000 thoughts a day. Many of these thoughts are negative and self-destructive. I believe that all of the inner tension in your life is created by your thoughts. Your thoughts make you ill and your thoughts…
Leaves everywhere today. Autumn has come late this year in London it seems.

I’ve used Norm’s Groove for all Hallows to create quite a dark track about the Serial Killer Peter William Sutcliffe
(born 2 June 1946) is a British serial killer who was dubbed "The Yorkshire Ripper". In 1981 Sutcliffe was convicted of murdering…

This track was made for collaborative purposes. Looking for a slow build of layers. If you hear anything that you would like to add...feel free to do so, and send it back to me...or post it and let me know that you did. TANKS!

Do it, Dave!
So nice. One of these days I am going to take one of your fantastic drum tracks and add something. I shoudl try a jam over this right now with the mandolin.
great, uplifting and fantastic.
Stunning stuff! Gotta love polyrhythms! And impressively tight as well - the man sure got rhythm! :D
Awe inspiring performance.
Time to mic up the kitchen sink.
I wish I was Donkey Cong!
nice, those are some great cabinets...
Very nice, love the "real deal."
@Sha-Pink: Thanks! I have a wide variety of different drums - you can get one view of my studio from the cover of my "collaborations" playlist. Various congas, bongos, djembes, bass drums, bells and effects instruments... but no trap-set.
Hi Norm, what kind of percussion set up do you have? You got the rhythm in you.
Wow. If I could add more I would, but this has me stuck at "wow"
i loved this tune, congrats!
Jeez, Norm, this is great stuff. This gives me the urge to start whacking stuff in the kitchen to see what sounds I can get. Now if I can just get everyone out of the house for a bit...
very very cool..

there is "rain forest" written all over this! simply excellent..
What the ? Is there anything that you won't strike rhythmically with a stick or something else.....don't let B+Q know( or whoever else sells DIY stuff over there if not B+Q )
Comments made by Norm
@Bee: *"I would like to hear it sung straight"* Do you think that is a reasonable request to ask of Reg? Personally, I prefer Igor's approach.
Is this stretched? It reminds me of jelly fish too. (You crack me up Bee!)
Awesome drum track! :)
@D: The vision of you dancing with your 4 month old to this delights me!
This is great fun!
Pro track.
This is wonderful.
Excellent work. Go team!
What a story! I agree with Chicken on the excellent base. Ok, uncle. What is the drum track?
Eegads Reg!
Yeah, this is great.
Excellent!
@ Vaisvil: *La clave es la llave, la llave es la clave*.
Ah! Don't look now, but your classical guitar training is showing - this is fantastic!
Dang those Greelies.
Excellent.
Now Reg, there is still a lot of truth in this one. Beautiful job!
America's going to love you Reg. Make sure to swing by the Blue Ridge Mountains when you get here.
Good grief! Reg, stop introducing her to your friends... if Bob gets mixed up with her he will change his tune to "Don't be Happy - Worry!"
I can't wait to hear what becomes of this...
