These instruments are not played exactly the way they normally are.
But, hey, this is Psychedelic Zen Guitar, and there has been an intention to show the madness in normality here as well as the normality in madness right from the start…
There are four Garys here, playing different instruments like crazy, and maybe they are…
(I’ve been doing experiments like this since I was around 15 years old – for more than three decades now! I hope I have improved in musical insanity since then…)
The pictures show cymbals in my friend Markus’ drum studio.
guitar& gear: ’71 Ibanez SG, Vox ToneLab SE, Tube Reverb, cymbals, Gibson EB-3 bass played with violin bow
I like the creative use of traditional instruments. One of the best jam sessions I ever was blessed enough to witness involved a cello being played with strange objects found in the room. At one point, the cello was turned over and drummed. Heee!
