Tonehammer Waterphone

[yackon4game]

I don't like this because It's pretty obvious that it wasn't making the sounds you heard. It made some. But it was obvious you had waterphone music playing in the background. It didn't sync up or even make sense for most of what you did.

[maztercheese18]

but can it blend?

[kezadrone]

You could do a whole film score with this puppy. Awesome.

[vishaal143]

this shivers ur spine.

[steveperryteamo]

jajajajaja que diabolico xD

[XxMuRD3RFaCExX]

So when you boil it, it makes a cool little beat?

[kelvisparsley64]

Think: Beginning of 'Janie's Got A Gun' by Aerosmith.

[wadawut]

Those slippers are like "From where the wild things are" Where did you get them?

[ciber600f41]

when he is boiling the water it looks like a bong

[DanUpLives]

Amazing

[Swampax]

"The Official Instrument of Hell"

[woodesroger]

thumbs up for the fuzzy slippers?

[lMonopolyguy]

Left 4 Dead :D

[ChrisieGrl1997]

I like his slippers;-) Does anyone else?

[MNRsq]

Cool.. you can make music and have tea. And I love his slippers. Anybody with that sense of humour has to be cool.

[DatafoxStudios]

What's with his feet?

[shponglefan]

@DatafoxStudios To mask the noise of footsteps when recording?

[DatafoxStudios]

@shponglefan Ah, okay. Makes sense now.

[pajenja]

entering in a zelda temple :D

[ziriak]

@pajenja ...hahaha like forest temple or spirit temple? :D

[IMartnN]

remind me of a bong

[unit781x]

reminds me alot of mortal kombat

[gary9894]

the first part gives me chills down my back

[vladycrew]

in order to play like that i need some dinosaur slippers like yours?

[SurgeCess]

That's awesome! I've heard Lalo Schifrin use this instrument numerous times without knowing the name. I love the slippers too, I need those!

[UpcomingJedi]

This is very poor quality. Whats is that...a cooking pot, a peice of lavatory drain pipe, some random peices of soft steel for the rods....ugh. It would make a better bong than an 'instrument'.

[samisyosam]

@UpcomingJedi If you want to see someone use a waterphone used in a really tasteful fashion, listen to "The Comet" by Tin Hat. You can't really make melodies out of it, but you can't deny that it has a useful application.

[LyncaraBeshirs]

Is this the knockoff version of Richard Waters waterphone? I am trying to find one that is affordable and high quality sound to it. Help me!

[professorlamp]

I saw you were recording it with a portable recorded, were the final samples from that or did you use actual mics?

Also what recorded was it? I'm looking at getting one for ambient recordings

[Spartan043]

Whoah, love the samples but... what portable recorder is that? I might wanna get one!

[yellowdart6666]

@Spartan043 get a zoom man or woman i assume your a man cause your name is spartan. but i digress anyway get a zoom their badass only 90 bucks

[ilmatteo95]

this is creepy :S

[youmilkpack]

I just love you guys

[jairosalguero]

nice slippers!! hahaah

[oromuisca]

at 1st sounded like theme to "Night Gallery" trippy sound!! I likes!

[yahoma1]

That is very queer. 

[acidfriend47]

I think that beat would go great if a Didgeridoo tags a long.

[waterphoneman]

This poor Standard Waterphone appears to have been in an accident. And using non distilled water will shorten its life as will cooking it on a stove. 

[AntiMusick]

that would make a great Bong

[NotNamedJones]

that thing is gnarly! it sounds like an awesome horror movie soundrack and looks like something they'd kill you with in one of the saw movies.

[Slntpsych]

Amazing sounds and amazing slippers.

[acidfriend47]

what are the metal strings called?

[waterphoneman]

@acidfriend47 Tonal rods.

[warriorbysword2]

lmao at 10-14 seconds

[foxyb69]

This sounds like its been used in a lot of horror movies

[TKcmcbTD]

Bears are developing instruments.. :O

[N0TKA]

awesome! and i loved the slippers as well :D

[iamjeeves]

i want to make this into one trippy ass bong.

[tetilt]

@iamjeeves Hell yeah bow your bong!

[pulseforce]

One hell of a good job sampling! This is used in so many sci-fi/horror/grandiose movies, that anyone working in scoring should have the sounds at their disposal! Think "The Matrix" (which used the Waterphone).

[KwakeDesign]

sounds like a track from 'Druqks' - Aphex Twin

[mkalorkoti]

Heya, any idea what diameter this waterphone is?

[waterphoneman]

@mkalorkoti 7.5 inches

[esmith1335]

C'mon, who hasn't boiled their waterphone?

[homebilly88]

i dig the slippers

[paulsureno]

you guys are nuts.lol

that thing sounds great though so much respect to you guys

[zenmachinefilms]

Way, way, way, way, way cool!
