DRUM TO GO

Make one drum portable, and happy musicians can keep the concert going outside! Simply duct-tape a ribbon strap to the sides of a medium-size box, then decorate the box with wrapping paper.

PLASTIC WASHBOARD

Duct-tape a piece of plastic packaging (we used some from a 5-pack of Hot Wheels) to the side of a box so your musician can run his drumstick up and down it for a zydeco beat.

DRUMSTICKS

These easy-to-grip drumsticks beat out a terrific sound! To make them, wrap the end of each wooden spoon with about 10 to 15 rubber bands.
