"Everybody" plays a guitar, bass, drum, piano, trumpet, etc... But what do you play on the side that wouldnt be a regular instrument in a band.? And I DONT mean a skin flute neither. *scoff*

I seriously doubt this thread is going to be useful or used.. prove me wrong, and show what you think it is and might be.

I have rubber bands for my braces, and when I flick them with my fingers, they can sound different.

Does that count? :D

The meat tenderizing mallet makes an awesome "thud".

I have never learned to play any instrument, but as a kid we use to play with **** harps or "juice harp", do you remember those?

To Prime: On your teeth.? Im sure it makes a boing..boing boing sound in your head and listen real carefully might hear it as well, but doesnt that hurt.? Altho basically you and Magic are basically talking of the same kind of instrument.

I know this instrument very well Magic, use to live in southern Mo. and knew this guy who played in a progressive blue grass band and he use to play it and as a trombone player uses a toilet plunger stopper, he use to use different types of cans.. ie. tin, plastic in different sizes while they payed and he could get some of the weirdest sounds between the two that actually worked.



And I must say this kid is a bit twisted... I wonder what he would sound like in the studio... I bet pretty cool.

I can play the "spoons" a bit and used to play a comb with a thin piece of paper wrapped around it (sounds kinda like a kazoo).

I can play my tongue. Popping it on the roof of my mouth. I can play just about any tune as long as the melody is not too fast. :****:

I used to freak everyone out in school playing "Popcorn"
