Psychedelic Percussion
Hal Blaine
 

Amazing! The great LA rock/studio drummer Hal Blaine recorded this trippy batch of tracks during the late 60's -- and it's way wilder than anything else he ever did! Blaine plays drums at the base of the whole thing, but they're processed with super heavy electronics (courtesy of Paul Beaver), which makes them sound very distorted, and very very out to lunch.

Emil Richards adds a lot of other percussion, as well as some weird electronic effects on the vibes.

The whole thing's amazing -- a psyched-out blend of heavy drums, electronics, and other assorted percussion -- with great tracks that include "Wiggy", "Inner-Space", "Trippin' Out", and "Vibrations".
