Best instrument to play while drunk?
Which is your choice for enjoyment with a low self harm form factor?
I slapped butter all over keys, knobs, cords, smeared screens with Coleslaw, pelted with Reese's Pieces, broke a Twix in half, stuck in... and after... I swung them all over above my head, pirouetted on their corners on top of a shaky rattan diner table spun like tops, but made sure nothing dropped. Toasted coconut n tested for salmonella were found in surprising places weeks after. I had so much fun.

Nothing that you put in or near your face. Nothing delicate. Nothing requiring particularly fine motor control.
Maybe a novation circuit?

Theremin could be a hoot... would probably make that sound as well.

Electronic wise, the lyra 8. Fun sober but damn more fun to explore quite inebriated. Some of the sounds might need liquid courage to explore anyway.
Physically. Come on, drums of course, preferably taiko and preferably naked.

Nope. Way too easy to fall over and damage the antennas. Don't ask me how I know.wiperactive wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 8:41 pm Theremin could be a hoot... would probably make that sound as well.![]()
When I'm totally blasted, I like to play my musical saw. Out in the garage, so I don't get divorced.

Ive played guitar very drunk(or worse) on stage in front of many thousands of people and survived, so I guess guitar?

Re: Best instrument to play while drunk?
Quick agree here. Nothing more fun to bang on drunk than a good (old and out of tune) piano. They're built for it!

Re: Best instrument to play while drunk?
I love doing impromptu acid jams with just the Roland TR09, and the Behringer TD3. I’ve got a 606 on loan at the moment so I’m using that as well, using an old Roland MSQ as the midi and din sync source. Super fun!
Gum is fun, but not on a cat.

Maybe try a gong - it might tell you the time as well (if you live in an apartment):
"Friggin' hell, what's that noise at half past three in the morning?"
Cheers,

Shit, I could relate to almost all of that (never pawned).

What about pcp? Maybe that would be something like playing a chainlink fence with your face.
