A funny one that comes to mind is from probably 12-15 years ago when I was visiting Vegas. I stopped by the local Guitar Center and saw they had a Yamaha DJ controller with two discs that you can spin to simulate scratching vinyl records. I started playing around with it, scratching multiple polyrhythms and creating complex patterns by going back and forth from triplets to 16th notes, 8th notes, etc.
After a while, a guy came up to me and asked what club I was DJ'ing at. I told him I'd never done this before! He looked at me quizzically for a second, then asked "Are you a drummer?" I said yes, then he nodded and walked off. I'll take that as a compliment!
EDIT: rereading the title of this thread, I guess this one wasn't recent. Oh well!
