The Drumkit Meme

The other day I chatted through Skype with a few long-time friends and one of them, former bandmember now playing drums in a band called Ethereal Genocide, brought up that he was getting new cymbals, hihats and whatnot. He showed us a cool little program in the Sabian website that allows you to build your own drumkit, making things as wild as your imagination. We all three gave it a try and soon it devolved into a 'insane set' contest.

Of course it was gonna get silly anyway, why does the program let you add more than one chair, or as my friend calls it (he's drum-savvy), a ''throne''? So for the kicks, here's a drumkit where one has to spread his/her legs 180 degrees so be able to use both kick drums. Oh, and there's a seat on the other side, in case you get tired:

The Spreader:

My other friend made this rather hilarious literal interpretation of the drumset (don't ask how it's played):

Drumworld:

He was spewing ideas like crazy. He mentioned that it would be funny if this kind of silly crap caught on and became a meme. Although I doubt it ever will, it would be funny. His next idea was priceless:

Mr. Drums:

Feeling left behind, I cheated. Teehee, I did this. Of course, Sabian will never make a 4 feet hat like this... or maybe if you call them gay, they'll push up the ante. ''No we're not gay! Fine we'll do it!''

Uh, a Satellite Dish:

My now rival-in-drumkits came up with the temple of drums. He told me that it's no longer an aerial-view design, it's seen frontally (note: there aren't actual drums there but still):

Temple of Drums:

This will of course not catch on, but I asked my buddies what a 'snat' was... and then surprised them with this stupidity:

Yeah... ooh yeah:

Added features, a throne that covers both asscheeks for extra large people and a massive trigger pad that plays like a billion samples. I like the snats though, cutting a drum and a hat in half and glueing them together...
