The Drum Machine
Posted by Qais Fulton
Imagine my sopping wet glee, when going through the rigmarole of avoiding accomplishing anything of merit at my job, that I discovered a vinyl toy version of my favorite tiny rhythmic geisha.
It’s obscenely easy to justify purchasing a lump of injection molded plastic when simply gazing upon it’s shiny visage induces excitement to the point of micturation. I first discovered my beloved geisha several months ago during an evening of drunken internauting and was immediately enamored. It’s difficult to quantify why I find myself revisiting this strange animation so often, yet every time I do I am once again transfixed by pint sized geisha braining themselves on equally miniscule drums as their overlord weaves back in forth from the safety of her toothy orb. While the above video is relatively good, the animation is best seen in it’s original table breaking form here.

You can see the entire flash animation in all its heavenly glory.
In the upper left corner you’ll see the link to enter the flash animation. A popup will appear and begin the flash which is somewhat interactive, like clicking on the boxes to activate them. You’ll watch a couple different forms move around as they convey a visual soundscape then lead into the actual drum machine skit you posted. It’s cool all around.

This kind of thing is what Flash and broadband speeds were made for.
