Smashing Pumpkins - Zero cover, played on the Electric Tennis Racket ;)

A little cover of 'Zero' by the Smashing Pumpkins, played on an electric tennis racket :D
The instrument itself was put together by me last night, and consists of a tennis racket, some plywood, a paintbrush, a battery, part of a screwdriver and some guitar tuners, in addition to obligatory Piezo pickup!

The entire thing is held together by a grand total of 4 carpet tacks and lots of phsyics.

I must apologise for the quality of the playing and attempted vocalisation!

I haven't heard this song in years, so it's pretty much from memory, implying a large possibility that i've murdered it a bit :s :p

i know it's not great, but please remember to savour the novelty value :p :D
anyhow, enjoy :D
