Don't try this at home.
We're what you call "experts."
Really?
Yeah!
What's up, everyone? We are Ahmir.
And we're your guest host for today's episode of "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?"
Today, the guys are planning on microwaving drum heads and drum skins.
Who'd want their head and their skin microwaved?
Well, actually, that could have been a good idea to use for Halloween.
You know, I was working with the Freddy Krueger thing, with the melted face and the...
No, not a good idea.
No, that burns you!
I'll tell you what IS a good idea. I think we should sing a farewell tribute song to the instruments.
(singing) 'Cause it's so hard to say "goodbye" to instruments...
Goodbye, drums!
*theme song plays*
Jory: It smells like victory!
Jory: All hands to the deck!
Jory: Nobody likes roasted nuts!
Jory: Let's get outta here!
Jory: Ventilation is key!
Jon: What're you doing?! Put that out!
Jory: Stopping, stopping!
Jory: The masks- they do nothing!
Riley: The tin foil shield- it actually works!
Jon: Does it still work?
Jory: You're dumb!
Jory and Riley: 2.6!
Jory: Is it a good idea to microwave this?
Jon: 1, 2, 3!
Jory: (singing) Let's find out! It's the Jory Caron Laboratory!
Jory: (in falsetto) 2.6!
Jory: (singing) Who donated these?
Jon: (singing) Tom Chittock!
Jory: (singing) Tom Chittock!
Jory: (singing) It's the laboratory, tin foil shield, I lost the beat! It's to protect our nuts, 'cause nobody likes roasted nuts!
Jory: (singing) That was the breakdown right there! Let's go and find out what these do in the microwave!
Riley: (pounding on drum skin)
*drums and cymbals*
We also have these fans, to circulate the air, and, as always, our Panasonic microwave, Penny.
And will she be up to the task of, you know, f'ing these up?
Jon: Taking the skins off my drum!
Riley: Alright, ready? I think this'll be cool! Ready?
*drum solo plays*
Jon: I think he wanted us to put it in there for 4 minutes and 19 seconds...
Jory: I think that's what he said, but I didn't really hear him over his drum solo! (laughs)
Jon and Riley: Oh!
Jory: I really have to clean out whatever is right there!
Jon: (laughs)
Jory: 'Cause it gets everything going every time!
Jory: Wow, those drum skins really cook!
Jon: Man, this guy can really cook!
Jon: Alright, folks, this next one's a blues-rhythm beat! Watch me for the changes! And try to keep up!
Riley: In case you guys aren't ready for that yet...
Jon: But your drum skins are gonna love it! 56 00:02:50,604 --> 00:02:01,60 Jory: (singing, impersonating Johnny Cash) "I fell into a burnin' ring of fire! I went down, down, down, the flames went higher. Burn, burn, burn, the ring of fire!"
Jon: That's exactly what we're looking at, isn't it?
Jory: It's exactly, yeah!
Jon: This is what Johnny Cash was singin' about!
Jory: He was! He was singing about drum skins in a microwave!
Jory: Oh! Plasma!
Jory: This is one of the most spread-out fires, low-lying, spread-out fires I've ever seen.
Jon: Just like Los Angeles!
Jon: The fan is activated!
Jory: I think it's just gonna keep doin' what it's doin' right now.
Riley: Yeah, so do I...
Jory: Yeah, let's stop it...
Jon: Alright, let's kill it and see what's goin' on inside the drum skins.
Jon: Oh! That drum is not gonna be doin' solos anymore!
Jon: I'm noticing the drum skin underneath doesn't have much damage, but the one on top is totally, totally ha bisky-ed!
Jon: Yup, that's what that is! Yeah, that's what you get!
Yeah, in this case, the drumline sort of turned into a death march... It's great- it kinda melted this plastic, but it transferred most of the plastic further on.
So, now, it becomes, like, stronger than it was before.
Jon: But you can't play any music with it, right?
Jory: Well, no, but, I mean...
Jon: Can you play it as a tambourine?
Jory: (singing) "Hey, Mr. Tambourine man..."
Jon: (laughs) And [beep] off!
So, you might possibly be wondering if it's a good idea to microwave drum skins. What do you think?
Riley: Everyone loves drummers, so, I mean, why would you ever want to ruin a drum skin?
I don't think anyone loves drummers!
Why wouldn't they love drummers?!
Drummers are, by far, like, the least-liked of all the musicians. You know, even the bassist gets more head than the drummer!
No, they don't! Are you kidding me?!
Jory: (incredulously) The drummer?!
Yeah! The driving force of the band?!
No! The singer or the guitarist! When have you ever seen the lead man of a band be the DRUMMER?!
No one's ever the lead man...
Jon: What about The Foo Fighters?
Whatever! All I'm sayin'... Let's get back to the episode!
Jon: So, Jory, is it a good idea to microwave drum skins?
Uh, no. I'm goin' to go ahead and say no, it's not a good idea to microwave drum skins, because...
Everyone likes drummers, 'bye!
Jory: I mean, look at this! What're you gonna do with this?!
Jory: Okay, that's probably good.
And that's about it for this episode of "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" I'm your host, Jory Caron.
Maybe I'll see you next episode, maybe I won't, I don't know, let's find out!
*end credits play*
Jory and Riley: (singing to the tune of the "Can-Can") Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-let's-just-microwave-it! Hey!
Today, we're gonna be microwaving these guitar... Not guitar!
Drums!
Drum skins!
Red skins, blue skins!
We all scream for foreskins! (laughs)
