Rowan Atkinson - Invisible Drum Kit

This is real good. I Like drumming and I like Rowan, so this is brilliant ;)

The Contrabass Saxophone

I never thought that such a thing exists. It is larger than most men on earth, 1.90 meter tall, and very heavy (aprox 20 kg.)

It does not require an air compressor to play it, yet it does require big lungs and pretty strong arms to hold it.

If you want to know how it sounds just play the video below. I thought it was the sound of a man farting at the beginning, but after a few seconds I realized that it was just a different "music style"

Fligh of the bumblebee

Picture on the left: Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening (1944) - By Salvador Dalí


"Flight of the Bumblebee" is an orchestral interlude written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov for his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, composed in 1899–1900. The piece closes Act III, Tableau 1, during the magic Swan-Bird changes Prince Gvidon Saltanovich (the Tsar's son) into an insect so that he can fly away to visit his father (who does not know that he is alive). Although in the opera the Swan-Bird sings during the first part of the "Flight", her vocal line is melodically uninvolved and easily omitted; this feature, combined with the fact that the number decisively closes the scene, made easy extraction as an orchestral concert piece possible.
