Any drummers want to record a few minutes of improv for a cd?

I'm making this experimental record, and I thought it'd be cool to involve the community.

Would any drummers be interested in recording a few minutes (or more) of creative improvisation?

The longer the better (extra points for anything over 6 minutes). A large dynamic range would be awesome too. Anything goes: soft brushes, beatblasting mayhem, free jazz, polyrhythms, spastic moments of avant garde randomness, sounds that have never been wrangled out of a kit before, whatever moves you. Surprise me.

If you're interested, just record yourself however you want (multiple mics would be cool, but not necessary). Send it to me however you want in whatever format you want. And I'll work it in. And give you credit in the liner/torrent notes. And you'll be totally famous.

Multiple submissions are welcomed. I might try to work everybody in, but it depends on how awesome the recordings are.

Hi there... Just a quick question: how much do you care about the recording quality? I've only got 4 mics to record my kit (2 superlux overheads, a SM57 for my snare and a kind of nameless 'vocal' mic for the kick...)

Whatever you can do is cool. 4 mics is great, better than I would expect. It's all an experiment anyway :o
