Rumba Columbia is a traditional Cuban pattern in 6: the "go-to" pattern for 12/8 - if you have only heard one Afro-Cuban rhythm in 12/8, this is probably it. As an energetic Afro-Cuban dance, Rumba was often suppressed and restricted because it…

This is a 3/16 Bembe on tuned congas, played with mallets. I've arranged it (at the very kind suggestion of Vaisvil & ReefWalker) in a verse/chorus/bridge/capo fashion to get away from a straight pattern - I think this sort of arrangement…

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…

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…

since johnny's death experience on alonetone he has realised he has special powers not only can he recreate any song that's ever been made but he can now transcend consciousness and appear anywhere in the world that he wants too and tonight he…
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)
Reg will just not listen not only have Chris and Norm told him but Elvis Jim and Louie all had the same advice..Forget her....move on but he is going against all the advice. He just can't get Desirea out of his mind, he loves her. He's trying…
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!

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!
Peter bought the old grey wolf down the cellar and Humphrey had to go and chat to him and tell him about his day. This is the story he told him...................

Chris sent me the the track this afternoon and i took to it straight away and threw it down the cellar to see what would happen and Frankie Zee quickly scribbled the lyrics and Reg sang it or should i say spoke it straight in one take because…
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??
I've been asked to give a short talk on the book of Nahum from the Old Testament. This is my first response.
Around here the lower class young people are in to old style rave with MCs, so I felt led to make a track in that style to go with the…
Geas sent me this tune for National talk like a pirate a day so we took it down the cellar and luckily Robert Newton was down there so we got him up on the stage and got him to do this little number......Hoping Yee enjoy eye arrh…
There are 3 styles of the Rumba Guáguánco pattern: this one originates from the Cuban province of Matanzas (to the east of Havana).
“Rumba” is a Spanish term for a gathering of musicians, singers & dancers (what West Africans refer to…
@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!
Comments on Norm's stuff
Dude! You own this place!!
Ahhh, I really like this. technically, very well crafted with a subtle, smooth blend.
Awwww now I need a long iced drink with an umbrella innit !! gonna make one too...hot skins Norm,hot skins !
Now that is a Performance..... A lot from a Little.... You rule man!
Listened to Rumba columbia just before this. Leads on soooooo Well!! A Great Listen!
Does what it says on the tin.... And so much more! Really Meditative as well! Love it!
Bubbles along like a beaut!
That's some prime percussion. Real nifty playing.
Excellent job on everyone's part!

Put up the song. Let me know what you think! I had a blast jammin on it!!
Muy FN Bien!
Just listened to the BrianisedBassed up version of this ,good job by bothyas.....
I like the rhythm!
Beefy beats!
In yo FACE Tracy Partridge!!!
Wow! Very cool rhythms!!
very nice
Thats a groovy sound for sure, I can dig this. Who would have thought the lowly tambourine would hold my attentions for so long.
This is great! It takes a special kind of healthy crazy to let it all out in a tambourine solo!
Comments made by Norm
Great production! That cellar is an awesome place!!

@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!

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!

Clever.
Well done Clara!
Beautiful.
Yes, wonderful harmonies.
Excellent percussion & bass here!
Another great one.
KEEL-HAUL HIM!
