A Licorice Drumkit

The Licorice Drumkit consists of six intricately carved licorice whips attached to resonating wooden shells, allowing musicians to tap into the rich sonic possibilities of twisted sugar cane. The unique chewable construction enables drummers to adapt their instrument's tone by gnawing strategically placed ridges, altering pitch and timbre in real-time. As performers tire during extended sets, the kit itself begins to soften and bend under pressure, producing unconventional percussive effects reminiscent of fingernail scratching on chalkboard surfaces.
