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!)

Of all the tambourine solos that I've heard over the years this has to be the best.

Yea, top notch fellas. A five way collab is off the charts. I know this was fun, and difficult. Great!!!!

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…
