@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 )

You must have been hammered with snow! Nice work Dave!

Nothing like getting behind the skins when you are sentimental. Happens to me all the time. The skins don't mind tears. Nice skin work here (the pattern is "Tumbao").

Totally pro, Chris. Great, great work.

I just heard the Ramen #3 version of this and it totally blew me away! Furthermore, I sickenly realized that I have posted a piece by the same name, a long time after you posted this one. I apologize for this and have changed the name of my posting (but a similar story to yours... first recording in a new house!!) Strong work team. I'm a big fan!

Lovely.

This is a masterpiece!

Lovely!

Tragic!

Fabulous story.

Your vocals are too hot for covers.

Oh so funky.

To quote Dorthy Parker: "That poor SOB". Strong work Chris!

I had to read a bit about "modal", which I still don't understand. But I know this much: this rocks hard. Many thanks! Here's hoping for a blizzard!

It's always tough for the manager when a "walk-in" steals the show and the crowd clearly prefers him to the scheduled act! Well done! Very soulful bro!

I hate the fact that your percussionist is quite clever.

Love the Rhodes! Cool boat sounds too. What a horrible time in history.

Boom chickie dig-gity boom ba! Excellent collaboration!

Love the percussion pattern here.

**instantly stikes the bait, swallows deeply for the gut hook - can't help myself** Bethan: It is asking too much to expect either Reg to behave himself. Funkmasters, by definition, can't behave. Now this is just perfect. Funk is what you were born to do. Please provide much more like this.

I miss my Alister! :(
