WEIRD PERCUSSION TRIBE formed
tribes.tribe.net/weirdpercussion


Today in a hardware store, I found myself staring at a whole display full of magnets of different sizes
while waiting for some keys to be made for me. Because lately I"ve been on this kick to take normal
cymbals and gongs and extract new sounds out of them, I've been fascinated by putting chaing and
other rattles on them.

Anway, I have three sets of these super magnets that you throw in the air to make weird buzzing sounds as
they attract to each other when it occured to me that it might be really cool to put each one of these
magnets on opposite sides of a cymbal. Sure enough, you can cause some really cool faux distortion
sounds out of the cymbals.

Then I tried it on a small pitched wind gong. I struck the gong and then moved the magnets and got the
coolest sound to come out of it.

I just wanted to share it with someone and realized that there was no place to officially do so at Tribe,
so I decided to start the WEIRD PERCUSSION TRIBE.

Come join me if it sounds interesting. tribes.tribe.net/weirdpercussion
