We ended up using an African drum called a Djembe - transposed to the keyboard - and I played the bass part with that! It made me laugh - a new definition of 'bass drum'! The piece is entitled 'Pieces Of Eight' because of all the different time signatures it ended up meandering through. The bass marimba didn't provide the power in the bottom end that I was looking for, so we experimented with some other things. (All of this was played with mallets on the KAT unit.) I did use one of Geddy's keyboard sounds, but since it consisted of a marimba with a human voice mixed in, I decided that was close enough! The biggest difficulty was finding a good bass instrument in the percussion library. I began experimenting with overdubbing different vibe sounds, a bass marimba, a cabasa, castanets, concert toms, metal sheets, African toms, and some highly tuned bongos. I began with the marimba part, double-tracked it, and then overdubbed my acoustic drums on top (yes, the new Ludwigs!).

I decided on a three- octave range, and since the KAT is also a programmable MIDI controller, compatible with the Akai unit, I started collecting samples of marimbas, vibes, tubular bells, glockenspiel, tuned African percussion, harp arpeggios - again, you name it! Like many percussionists, I had long harbored a secret wish to create a piece of music using only percussion instruments, and this looked like the key to that dream! I practiced with the KAT for a few days and then, when I had a free day, recorded a 'demo' of a marimba piece I had been working on over the summer. It is available in modules of one octave and up, and basically consists of a set of soft rubber pads laid out as a keyboard. Once again, Jim did some research and came up with a unit made by the KAT company in Massachusetts.

I had been playing a marimba quite a lot and really wanted some kind of more portable instrument to use live and (hopefully) in the studio. "Another thing I have been seeking for quite a while is a keyboard percussion synthesizer. This instrumental percussion piece is included as a bonus track on the Anatomy Of A Drum SoloDVD, and parts of this song are incorporated into Neil's live drum solo. Neil Peart on a 45rpm flexi-disk included as a sound supplement to "The Quest For New Drums", Modern Drummer, May 1987. It even sold a million copies in the States." - Pegi Cecconi, SRO/Anthem, FYIMusicNews, August 3, 2016 We can afford it.' And the thing went fuckin crazy. I didn't think it'd sell anything, but I said to Ray, 'let's do it, so I can hang out with Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas for a couple of weeks. I've seen him subsequently a number of times and he always says, 'That's the only number one record I've ever had!' Which is insane to me because those guys have sold about a 150 zillion records." -, J"I remember it was my decision to go with that one. So when we did the album we wound up having Geddy sing the vocal lead for the first single, 'Take Off.' That was the first time I had seen him since we were kids and the first time he had this enormous success. Then in 1982 Dave Thomas and I were approached to do a record as the McKenzie Brothers on Anthem Records, the same label that Rush was on. He moved away when we were still young but I remember him like I do all my friends from back then. So why don't we ask Geddy?'" - Dave Thomas,, Octo"Geddy Lee and I went to the same grade school. Rick went to school with him, which is why he appeared on that album. Nobody had any idea it would get as big as it did." - Geddy Lee, Success Under Pressure "He's a really nice guy. It was fun strictly a fun thing to do with some pals. So I went down and it took me all of half an hour to do. When they were doing the album, they called me up and asked me if I'd sing on one of the tracks. telling me what to do.'" - Visions "I went to school with Rick Moranis, and basically grew up with him. It was different from any session I've ever done. I just came in, they paid me my 10 bucks to come in and sing a few words. He came in, put on his toque and sang it.' Geddy commented on the record. 'We were friends in school, and we were doing the record, so I called him up. In 1983 the McKenzie Brothers drove a van with a Rush bumper sticker in the motion picture Strange Brew. "Take Off" was also a top 20 single, edited to remove the playful banter before and after the musical section, while the album made the US Top 10, higher than any Rush record. Released on Anthem Records, this song was originally to have been included on Rush's Chronicles compilation album.
