This is probably the easiest way to make a simple drum for you to spend time with.
Steps
-
Get a balloon and a roll of sticky tape and a rubber band.
-
Make sure the balloon is really big, or really stretched out.
-
Cut the neck of the balloon with scissors and throw it away, you won't need the neck.
-
Stretch the balloon's body on the roll of tape. You might fail the few first times, so don't worry. Though if it doesn't fit, get a bigger balloon.
-
If you want a high pitch, make the balloon stretched really tight. If you want a lower one, make it looser.
-
For safety, stretch a rubber band on the tape too to keep the balloon safely on the roll.
-
Use whatever you have for the drumsticks: pencils, pens and other stuff. Just whatever sounds right to you.
-
Have fun.
Tips
- If you may do the same on other things, like cups, or even pots. It depends on the balloon's size.
Warnings
- Do not touch it with sharp things.
- Sometimes the balloon might slip and hurt your face and your eyes, be careful.
Things You'll Need
- Balloon.
- Scissors.
- Roll of sticky tape.
- A pencil or a pen or anything long and thin for drumsticks.
