drumFunny – percussive comedy & music humor

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

Thanks, Steve!

Hey guys – sorry posts have been slow this week. I should have mentioned I’m on vacation in New York through New Years. Regular posts will be starting up again next week.

Have a great rest of the week and an awesome New Years!

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.

Think this is just the result of a numb nut band director who can’t assemble a set of tenors? Guess again. This is being sold by Trixon’s (the manufacturer’s) own Ebay account.

Thanks, Keith!

drumFunny is ONE YEAR OLD. Happy Birthday drumFunny!

I remember starting this blog that my goal was to “survive” for three months. And here we are, one year, 369 posts, and hundreds of thousands of views later.

For anyone that has or is operating a blog, you know how much work it is on a day to day basis to keep updates coming. There’s no way I would have kept this up if it wasn’t for the community that has grown around the site. Because the content comes from our viewers and fans, I have you to thank for helping make this site a success.

Keep submitting, keep commenting, keep spreading/linking our content and we should have a healthy and happy 2010.

Good luck to all those in the middle of tryouts and have a freaking’ awesome Holiday!

Thanks, Keith
