These are great. I never thought I'd see/hear Ra Ra Rasputin on a Tesla coil ... I was wrong!!

I have contemplated building a yaybahar on a number of occasions but it never really makes it up the project list. Possibly because I have nowhere large enough to actually set it up and play it.

Ignore the post count, I have no idea what I'm doing...

And why use such small drum heads? Imagine using the biggest orchestral bass drum heads money could buy!

Re: Unusual and Strange Musical Instruments Compilation - Part 3
Last lockdown I finally got around to building a 'Joe Bass' (named for the percussionist mate who came up with the idea*), it's basically (sorry...) a bass banjo built (I resisted the temptation to say 'based') on a kick drum. It works remarkably well and sounds pretty good, surprisingly bright but I'm about to fit flat wound strings which should sort that out.
* I know bass banjos have existed for a long time but my other mate who built the original named his version for Joe so I'm acknowledging the inspiration.

Still taking this recording lark seriously (and trying to record my Gypsy Jazz CD)........

Loving these videos, very inspiring! Not a lot of synthesis going on, however. :)
