drumFunny – percussive comedy & music humor

I’d trade the increased portability for the decreased sex appeal …

Thanks, Steve!

This guy is all I’d ever want in a household pet and a little more.

Here’s his basic thought process:
Crawl around, scout for an area with a playable surface (preferably flat), scoot into place, play a basic beat checking to see if it has a “good sound,” then make a sample he can then play over top of.

R2-D2 eat your heart out.

By deconstructing a perfectly normal marimba, rigging a circular 3 octave marimba, and hooking up a labyrinth of MD24 MIDI decoders, Larry Cotton has managed to create the first MIDI programmed instrument that actually sounds like, well, an instrument.

Thanks, Keith

[UPDATE} Our friend Nick (dude who passed out) has come forward in the comments to provide us the backstory of this incident. This video just gets sweeter knowing it was on a live webcast being viewed around the country.

"[I] stayed up a little too late the night before and kinda locked my knees. I put my sticks down and tried to walk out of the shot (since it was on a live webcast for band directors across the country), because I knew I was going to pass out. Then my sticks started to fall off and I didn’t want them to be falling off in the video. Well right as I go back to fix the sticks, I black out and that was all she wrote. Next thing I remember I see the entire drumline and 3 paramedics staring down at me.

Thanks, Jimmy and Nick!
