Personally I prefer the percussion qualities of an old tractor:

Wow, 950K views on some, eh, amateurish guitar and singing. Prefer Grammy Nominee Sierra Hull's take sitting close to 800K views.

That washing machine's got great stage presence ... sort of a contained fury. :))

943,000 views in 17 days - how does that work? Approx. 55,500 a day?

I'd like to see someone play along with this washing machine:

At least, that one would qualify for dancing to the music.
But the OP machine is not far away from that either - see the bulge throbbing in the front panel? The mere noise level indicates something destructive going on in there. Don't tell me that is a normal operation mode.

As someone that has done battle with an HE washing machine only moments ago, i'll say TNT is too good for them.

Wasn't there a major rock band that had a washer and dryer on stage during one of their tours? Thinking it might have been Rush. You could throw a load in and sit back and take in the show.

Yes, it was Rush. They've used a variety of devices in place of amps (since Geddy Lee's bass was going direct) for visual effect, also including vending machines and rotisserie chicken ovens.

That's a good one! :)

I also like these fellows in Sweden playing along with a water-powered "hydraulic ram" water pump (not electric though), they're playing resonator mandolin :mandosmiley: and resonator guitar and banjo: :grin: :mandosmiley:

Seems the guitar player is a MandolinCafe member (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?58453-The-mandolin-jam-a-demo-of-old-mandolins!) who also occasionally plays mandolin (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?111414-Swedish-made-LEVIN-mando-s&p=1348633) too. :mandosmiley:

Another very cool giant old engine sound below, no music yet but I see potential, fast-forward to 2:35:

To get an idea how big the above engine is, see 1:46-2:10 where a guy is adjusting the valves, wow! :disbelief: :cool: :)

This whole thread made me think of this John Hartford song...

These (https://youtu.be/0dKmSf2jHRQ?t=298)are what every band needs.

:grin: :)) Although his "good old electric washing machine" was probably quieter than this 1927 gas-powered Maytag washing machine:

And yeah I agree with one of that video's commenters that it's a bad idea to wear a necktie :disbelief: or anything else that could catch in the rollers. According to this paper (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1254864/pdf/amjphnation00172-0114.pdf), wringer-washer safety-protocol problems were still an issue as late as 1964... Personally, way before 1964 we'd quit using our electric wringer washer although it still sat there on the porch for a number of years before it finally got carted off to the scrap-metal pit in the back field.

Even electronic music can be done on acoustic instruments.
