This is a combination bass drum, bass guitar, guitar and microphone that everyone in a band can be playing one of, so that it is possible to switch instruments without switching places. Would make great drum "solos" and 4 part string pieces possible too.

The bass drum would have a foot pedal and a snare on the side, and double as the sound chamber for the four bass strings which would be strung over the front of the bass drum and over a fret board that would rise from the top of the bass drum. Next to the four bass strings and against a regular guitar fret board would be strung 6 regular guitar strings, secured at machine heads that surround a microphone. There is also a mic in the bass drum. The whole thing is of course electric.

There is a bow/drum stick that fits into a pocket on the drum.

       Yes otherwise you could add wheels to use it as a van to drive to gigs, and add taps and a plug hole for use in washing up afterwards.

       There was an episode of some children's cartoon show (MSB? Arnold?) years ago where a character built a ridiculously complex musical instrument, and it made a horrible sound. Then a bunch of the parts fell off (on the way to a concert, maybe?) and it sounded great afterward.   

       If this bothers me enough, I'll ask /r/tipofmytongue what I'm remembering.
