Google Translator

if you haven’t check out Google Translator in a while, you should return and be amazed. Now google translator can speak perfectly in almost every language, including the best synthesized Mandarin I’ve every hear in my life (spoken with a silly Chinese accent, but still decent). I am amazed by how accurate the Chinese to English translation can be.

The German is also pretty amazing.

But further more, you can turn it into a beat box.

Someone made a table of what letters forms what part of a drum set:

Here’s your rudiment/instrument notation
zk = suspended cymbal
bschk = snare
pv = brush
bk = bass
tk = flam1
vk = roll tap
kt = flam2
kttp = flam tap
krp = hi hat tap
pv = short roll
th = better hi hat
thp, ds = instant rimshot.

Pretty funny stuff.
