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…

Richard thank you so much for your support. I don't have a problem with simple though it is not something I strive for. Talking to God is hampered more by my inability at the keybaord. However I could not have written that piece on my guitar. I have great respect and admiration for someone like yourself who has command of the keyboard. I have a heck of a time putting to hands together to make something. Chris
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…

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
I really like this one chris....i downloaded it and have been jammin it in my car. It's a good "end of the day" listener....driving home....just after dark.
Brilliant collab all round.
I thought that was absolutely incredible. A masterpiece.
I like the 15th century feel. That's lovely.
Mmm, maximus harmonicus! Very pretty and effective.
Love the unsettling intro riff - strange but kind of compelling sounds throughout.
Eerie...
Nice keys!!
Retro in all the best ways!
very pretty, Chris
Sweeeet even though I do not fully grasp the concept, I love how it comes across in the mix. Very diverse sounds.
Sonar- nice use of software with many related tones and sounds!
However you did it this is beautiful!
