I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
Merengues are fast arrangements with a 2/4 beat, originating from the Dominican Republic. The traditional instrumentation includes a "güira" (guiro), which is a percussion instrument that sounds like a scrapper. The Merengue güira is a cylinder…
The chorus of this groove is in 5/4 and the verse in 9/4. You can hear me fall apart at the very end… guess I got worried.

As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…

A cool wind brings the fall
And the season starts to change.
Outside the sky's steel grey.
Inside my heart is too.
And I don't know how to…
Whats going on Norm. I am missing out on some really great stuff lately.......damn work.......I need to spend some time with your grooves to sooth my soul..........................AHHHHHHHHH

Lyrics:
There’s a pound or two of flesh in my chest yet.
It sits next to the bag that brings me my breath, yes.
A knot of muscle that flex and flex and flexes,
It’s okay—no rest (unless time requests it).
In the bowl above my eyes a gelatinous…

I purchased a Simmons drum pad today - I'm not a real drummer - please be kind. It was on sale at Guitar Center $180 + extended warranty + sticks http://www.simmonsdrums.net/sdmp1/
The synth is my Fender Mustang + GR-20
I do have video of Jacob playing the udderbot with the band - but right now I'm still putting together my gear from storage and this was the best I could do with Windows Live movie maker on my laptop.
So for now - enjoy the sound of Jacob jamming…
Great bluegrass. Great video (you seem to be getting passed more than passing...), and, of course, I had to look up "udderbot". What a cool instrument! Make your own! I am!

"Winston's Black Dog"
I could have made a great Prime Minister
Just need a good reason to be sinister
Give me an army, an enemy,
a great war --
and I'll deliver
Put me in the middle of nowhere
In the wilderness I'll survive
But in an air-conditioned…
What You Forgot is an electronics / percussion piece that uses Absynth and Dimension Pro in two different harmonic series tuning (5 limit and 7 limit). The percussion is provided by Kontakt. The piece was preformed on an AXiS 49 in one pass…
his song is just an experiment or at least started that way. Based on an "Ultrabeat" groove ( the only loops ) I added parts and sang an "Off the cuff" vocal and mixed and tweaked. Mostly Midi parts played through my cheesy Midi controller but…
Comments on Norm's stuff
Taking me places. I'm with Bee on the percussion - it's wonderful :)
He was probably building a home studio. This is exactly what it sounded like when I built mine. Minus all that 5/4 stuff.
Really makes my imagination run wild. Nice going guys!
Great collab guys. Vox right on. The instrumental at the end especially makes the mind wonder, what the hell IS he building in there.
Wonderful, really interesting! Great performance Reg and delightful percussion! Bee
Fantastic guys......oh yeah
this is awesome, just awesome!
...and that the business is? Yeah! - and what's he building in there? ...what was built, finally? Knock-knocking, what they do - it is unclear. We have a rights to know! ;-)
Great stuff, but ya know- Maybe it's none of our business!

Comments made by Norm
Too much fun!
The closing round was delightful as was the udderbot in the final song. I should probably make an udderbot...
Awesome, Reg! Great collaboration betwixt a couple of AT giants!
Ah yes. 2 drummers at times! Wonderful stuff.
Superb drum work!
Excellent drummer! Totally pro.
Beautiful.
Totally pro!
This one soars.
It was only a matter of time... it pleases me that you are releasing your inner percussionist.
Love the street drumming busker!
Go Dave Go! Nice work.
Good for you! Be careful with such an addicting piece of gear!
Do it some more!

"Just give me a reason to be sinister..." Very clever.
It's great to hear that you are doing better! Cool piece.
I like the touch of Reg!
Awesome song.
