If you have the fever and the only cure is more tambourine, here it is.
MORE TAMBOURINE SOLOS!! (But you should probably wait until you have the house to yourself...)
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…

While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…

Yes - I love it. Pure, frustration relieving raw energy!! I'm being cleansed just from listening. Solid Dynomite!
(Oh, and the dirty sheet, ha! It was a dirty window that I hadn't cleaned in a while. I was going to use "filthy sheet of dirt" but it didn't fit in the song :) Either way I gotta wash that freakin' window!)

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…

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…

I’ve used Norm’s Groove for all Hallows to create quite a dark track about the Serial Killer Peter William Sutcliffe

Oh you just totally rule. I mean, for goodness sake. I have a tambourine...hmm.
Yes - I love it. Pure, frustration relieving raw energy!! I'm being cleansed just from listening. Solid Dynomite! (Oh, and the dirty sheet, ha! It was a dirty window that I hadn't cleaned in a while.

@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...
