'A Moth Goes Into A Podiatrists Office..'

A humble tribute to one of my comedic heroes: Norm MacDonald.
I originally just recorded a short clip of me playing because I was bored, and then when I was mixing it, I felt it needed some sort of spoken word element. Adding a clip from Norm's infamous Moth Joke from Late Night With Conan O'Brien was my first choice & pertinent to me because of Norm's recent passing.
Although it was added after the fact, I was surprised at how well my playing fit around the dialogue. I only had to edit one or two sections slightly in order to get the final result.
I did think about going back & recording drums to the whole joke but decided against it because I felt there was no way I would be able to do it any better.
Norm had a truly unique artistic voice & was a fearless artist - both attributes all artists aspire to, and very few achieve. RIP Norm.

Gear used includes: Sonor drums, Zildjian cymbals, Remo drumheads & Vic Firth sticks. Scrabble tile cluster was bought from Revival Drum Shop in Portland, OR.

This is awesome Chris. I actually found this really inspiring. It would make for a really good interlude track on an album or something. Keep posting, we love it dude 🤘🏻 RIP to the legend Norm McDonald.
