PROJECT: THE POWER TOOL DRUMSET

The drumset would be a customized rig, engineered to house and operate powertools in a way that one could play them with ease. It would be set up like a standard drum set, but instead of tom-toms, cymbals, and all that, it would be nailguns, saws, crowbars, all set up to be played with bare hands. The nailguns would be set up in a rig facing away from the player, and you would activate it by pushing on the back, activating the trigger system through a special rig, and making the sound. Pedals on the ground would power saws of different types, crowbars would be set up in a way that you could push a pedal or a button to make them clang against one another. The end effect would be like the following song, the percussion of which was made using only power tools, and would otherwise be impossible to make without computers. Schematics soon to follow. http://www.ironhandonline.com/mp3s/ironhand-tsk-05-wheremachinesmakemen-...

How the prize money will be used: To purchase hardware and parts to assemble the rig, including used power tools.
