Sasha this is pure art!  Awesome!

You should throw in some sequenced computer fans of various sizes, and a cd drive opening and closing!

I made something similar, using a HDD as a speaker that is driven by a small transistor amp and my mp3-player.

Thanks Robert.

Check the Youtube. There are zillion HDD speaker videos. I personally don`t find it much interesting.

Here are some more old pix. The beater is actually knitting needle i stole from my mother. I find out bamboo sticks for barbecue is much better as they are light strong and elastic so all 6 HDDs are using it. I dont have any pic right now. Ill took few some time.

That’s a new level.. I would love to hear the small drum

BTW, it reminds me of http://createdigitalmusic.com/2008/03/16/weekend-inspiration-coke-bottle-as-tribal-percussion-and-the-future-of-adaptive-music/#more-3156

Small drum is actually more souvenir than instrument. It can make sound but not very impressive.

About link you send… I saw that before. It is much more serious editing than playing. Anyway, I liked it alot.

Sasha, you should submit this to hackaday

I don`t feel like submitting to hackaday. I tried to contact them before about some cool ideas and they never even replied. If they find it interesting they will do it anyway without even asking me.
