Mushroom Plays The Drums

US Yes, it's a mushroom playing the drums      18/12/24

It started with the carrot audio adapter, then the soil eurorack module...  and now we have a mushroom playing the drums! I kid you not, as we can see in the video; this mushroom has little bionic arms which are being fed electrical pulses emanating from the skin of the fungi. It's no Phil Collins but it's certainly impressive to see data being converted in this way - perhaps one day we'll see a full band. It appears to be playing a Yamaha DD-55C Digital Drum Kit - good choice, although it might struggle to reach the bass drum and hi hat foot pedals. Go forth and forage for new band members!

If you're interested in mushrooms, I recommend checking out the work of MAPS

Here's a video of an apple tree playing a guitar and hand pan from the same channel...
