A simple idea to encourage young people into taking up percussive instruments. Bongos shaped like bums. What could be more humourous and satisfying than tapping out a beat on a bum?

Bum... it has two meanings...

Are we talking hobo?

Or are we talking derrier?

[yrx] has a point... bun removed pending clarification.

Whoa... Serious deja vu...

Derrier. Bum, en Anglais.

What degree of realism are we talking about here?
-- Alterother, Aug 17 2011


Can't use bums for percussion -- everybody knows they're wind instruments.

[mouseposture] you have a point. [Alterother] more concept than product perhaps. A real bum can vary in tone depending on the physical state of the owner which could be interesting. Fake bums might not be so satisfying but probably more suitable for a younger audience. Actually, maybe I should edit the young part of this....

Well, I guess we've sorted out the "Bum" part, but what are we gonna do when we get to the "Bum Titty Bum" part?

Breast membranophones.

These should be worn on the bum, not shaped like a bum.
