Fibra from Belgrade has created an interesting drum system. It uses old hard drive read/write arms as drum hammers. The original hard drive voice coils are used to move the arms. The picture above is the new system which doesn’t seem to be documented yet, have a look at the video for a demonstration of the first version. If you need a larger hard drive project fix have a look at these hard drive projects.

Nice. Bonus points for the Commodore 128 PSU brick powering the whole thing.

Can the hard drive simultaneously be used as a speaker?
