This is a combination bass drum, bass guitar, guitar and
microphone
that everyone in a band can be playing one of, so that it is
possible
to switch instruments without switching places. Would make great
drum "solos" and 4 part string pieces possible too.
The bass drum would have a foot
pedal and a snare on the side,
and
double as the sound chamber for the four bass strings which would
be strung over the front of the bass drum and over a fret board
that
would rise from the top of the bass drum. Next to the four bass
strings and against a regular guitar fret board would be strung 6
regular guitar strings, secured at machine heads that surround a
microphone. There is also a mic in the bass drum. The whole
thing
is of course electric.
There is a bow/drum stick that fits into a pocket on the drum.

Trying to make something produce the quality of each
individual component, sometimes suffers in the attempt to
consolidate. This might be one of those times. Perhaps. |

Yes otherwise you could add wheels to use it as a van to drive to gigs, and add taps and a plug hole for use in washing up afterwards. |

There was an episode of some children's cartoon show (MSB?
Arnold?) years ago where a character built a ridiculously
complex musical instrument, and it made a horrible sound.
Then a bunch of the parts fell off (on the way to a concert,
maybe?) and it sounded great afterward. |

If this bothers me enough, I'll ask /r/tipofmytongue what I'm
remembering. |
