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

excellent!! very rich sound,, every few measures or so i hear a? quick rapid tone,, how are you making that?.. this is very neat

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..

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.

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 )

Great production! That cellar is an awesome place!!

Reggikins??? Good grief. A desperate fool. Predictible. Don't forget your credit card Reg - this one is going to cost you more ways than one. (Fantastic vocals)

@Vaisvil: You-know-who is more likely to break up a marriage than a band...

Still hating this one. Daily.

Still hating this one too.

This is still perfect. One of my favs. I kind of feel sorry for that coin... and other times envious of it.

Outstanding!

Oh boy. You keep insisting on crashing that same car over and over again. Can't you see that she collects broken hearts like butterflies - and pins each one into a cigar box she keeps under her big brass bed? The only time she feigns interest in you Reg is when you somehow manage to fly off again - pin and all!

Yeah, that will just happen to you once. Beth is right. Good one!

Uh, Reg, we have heard this before from you. I hope for your sake that you have finally learned your lesson.

Reg has some of the best advise regarding "hate" that I have heard for awhile. Don't be a hater!

Outstanding Zappa feel on the percussion. Vaisvil, you should be careful about whom you allow your children to play with. Reg: your love for Desiree does not come from above. I'm not even sure that she herself is of this world. Why does she always keep showing up at your most vulnerable moments, only to disappear almost immediately??

Clever.

Well done Clara!

Beautiful.

Yes, wonderful harmonies.

Excellent percussion & bass here!

Another great one.

KEEL-HAUL HIM!

@Bee: Yes, these traditional patterns frequently have a melody of their own, and while it can be varied to some degree, an audience familiar with the pattern (and the dancers) expect to hear that melody. Otherwise the percussionist had better be playing behind some protective chicken-wire!
