    i asked my ethnomusicology instructor, who knows every asian, african, latin american drum there is. and he has no idea what it is, or where it may come from…. he thinks it might be something homemade

  • Jon

    Nice to see Radiohead fans rising to the occasion with responses we’d expect like balls, ball-busters, cocks and testicles. And Ball-kabobs. Right. Sorry.

    They are very clearly dehydrated monkey breasts, c’mon.

    you see a post by that girl who told about her ethnomusicology instructor? well, i am that instructor and i can see that it is (as she did mention) homemade. i know this because i have travelled african countries for my entire life and i became hostile with a primitive tribe that lived by making drums like these. they became so furious at me that they threw all their drums at my plane. now, i don’t recall getting this kind of drum thrown at me. i made drawings. stashed in my secret vault.

    It’s either the unfortunate remains of a shy Okapi from the South American jungle, a rejected part from an M&M making machine and or a magnificent new instrument manufactured from jaffa cake and kendal mint cake paste fired inside an Ondes Martenot.

    either way, give jonny greenwood a vacuum cleaner, a tennis racket and a dead cat, and he can make music that will blow you away… : D

    I’m ashamed that so many of my fellow Radiohead fans would guess at such ludicrous devices. Would the band you revere so much really ever play on dried elephant testicles with coconut rims? oh, and of course evans heads. Sorry to thom and jonny

  • Allen

    I think they may be a double sided gourd rattle from Africa, but I might be wrong.

  • sheerdrop

    jonny’s new instrument to wake thom up with because thom hides all the instruments in the house, but jonny prevails with his mongolian-thai connect who interbreeds grizzlie bears with polar bears to make a savage beast that lurks in the woods of new england and maine. But has time to slip jonny some new toys through his window at night and give him a bed time story.
