Nice.

Don't let LibraryBoy hijack a perfectly good thread, gang.

He's just jealous.

His threads contain crickets and cobwebs.

Didj-Bass Combo
NeaL Brooks is a multi-instrumentalist who has combined two of his favorite instruments: bass and didjeridoo. He had tried a variety of ways to do both at once, but all with unsatisfactory results. In September of 2003, he attended Victor Wooten’s Bass/Nature Camp in Tennessee.
NeaL says, “Victor has a music lesson known as Two Through Ten which helped me realize that the didjeridoo is more than just a musical instrument. It’s also a great tool for developing those musical skills and senses which cannot be effectively taught through books. With didj, you mainly have one note to work with. How can you make that one note more interesting?”
At Victor’s camp, NeaL met another musician who also shared his interest in unusual instruments; one of Victor’s brothers, Roy “Futureman” Wooten. When NeaL mentioned his efforts to play didjeridoo and bass at the same time, Roy said, “Maybe if you found some way to mount the didjeridoo onto the bass?”

If you'd like to hear what one of those monster kits sounds like in the hands of a skilled percussionist, check out the following. The fellow's name is Jacob Armen, who made his professional debut on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show at the age of seven. The first clip is from his forthcoming solo album, the second is a jazz/rock performance from the Armenian Music Awards in 2007, held in California.

Speaking of bugs, why didn't the guy simply use a GM over the axle pipe and some components from a VW Bug Stinger exhaust assembly to make this thing? It appears he used rolled up cardboard and paper mache.

Methinks you speak from experience, oh wise one not accusing, just saying.

Nearly 14 years in the auto parts trade, my man. In fact, I once fixed the pipe under the kitchen sink by replacing it with a flexi-radiator hose, made of course by Goodyear. It made sense, as it was designed to carry hot water, far hotter than the average faucet could muster.
