Take average drumset. Install flat plasma globe-like form-fitting chambers inside near the head surface that will respond to electro-static disturbances created by the sticks. Replace drumset heads with clear ones. Proceed thrashing about.
As you were.-- RayfordSteele, Mar 20 2003 These things http://cheapnovelty...nglas_sunburst.html [RayfordSteele, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004] The Lumindisk http://www.amazon.c...-Disk/dp/B000Z9FRCM [RayfordSteele, Jul 30 2009] By plasma globe you mean...what, exactly? Neon lights, the cool things you touch and the electricity follows your fingers, or what?-- DrOuD, Mar 20 2003 RT, that option's only for Black Sabbath.
I could swear I've seen flat screen plasma-storm displays of some sort that you could touch and yield a similar effect, but have no idea what to search under.-- RayfordSteele, Mar 20 2003 This rocks!-- roby, Mar 20 2003 I like it. There's a plasma plate that HAS TO be built into a bass drum or electric guitar.-- FloridaManatee, Mar 20 2003 Yeah, that's where I saw it. The Borg thing. Where's 8th of 7 when you need 'im?-- RayfordSteele, Mar 21 2003 Regenerating ..... I was kept awake all last night by somebody improvising drum solos and then breaking off to say, "Oh wow ! Cool !".....-- 8th of 7, Mar 21 2003 Perfect segue into a Borg Band.-- RayfordSteele, Mar 21 2003 Would you even need a drummer in a Borg Band?-- krelnik, Mar 21 2003 Isn't this just a Theremin?-- hippo, Mar 21 2003 Good Idea. They already make those plasma balls that react to sound. One basically would just have to mount it into a Drum and Viola!-- jonman, Mar 21 2003 [krelnik] Yes you would, for the boom-boom-crash, boom-boom-crash preceding, "We will / we will / assimilate you / Buddy, you're a Borg / make a big cube / up in outer space / gonna be a Borg Queen some day" etc.-- friendlyfire, Mar 21 2003 Oh come on, friendly, finish it out... if you don't, I will...
A much better usage of bio-electronic 'wet' brain uplinky type communications devices in the movies. Band members with musical instruments grafted in, playing whole concertos of electronic music at a thought.-- RayfordSteele, Mar 21 2003 Darn swiss cheese. I miss Rod.-- RayfordSteele, Jul 30 2009 random, halfbakery
