I think it's interesting, figured I'd pass it along.

    This could be something better in the right hands, but these dudes are just noodling in the worst jam band kind of way.

    What I mean is, I want to hear "Get It Girl" in analogue.

    Pretty sweet setup.


    But yeah I'd like to hear something that didn't sound like music I would expect to be played by the type of guys who would build such a contraption (as seen in the vid).

    I'm thinking the Funky Drummer. Can it do that?

    Looking at the contraption that looks like a wheel, I'm sure if it's programmed that way, it would work.

    OH! Now that's nice. I wish there were some circuit bending courses here. On the Drum Buddy, the concept looks as if they got those utensil holders you find in cafeterias, but each hole represents a pattern in the loop. I would assume that you can play with the tone by widening the holes.

    supposedly when you buy a drum buddy, you get to go to the inventors house (which supposedly is a castle) to learn how to use it.

    it used to say it one his site somewhere back when you could buy it, that he lived in a castle that is...

    I was actually looking for where you can purchase it. I guess that's gone. I remember it being super expensive like 10000 or something.

    It looks like he's actually sold a couple.

    I remember seeing the original demo in a bar in SF and thinking it was a joke.

    Well, I guess if I could afford something like that, I would consider. Or I could push on and try to make my own. I like the sounds it's able to create, reminds me of some of those Radio Shack kits, but with a turntable and a utensil bucket.
