How to make bronze drums by hand

Tools to be prepared in advance: a cylindrical container, electrical tape or sealing tape, 2 pencils, paper towels, drawing, crayons or colored lead (optional), glue sticks and drums.

1. Take a cylindrical container (make sure it is empty), such as oatmeal jar, popcorn jar, raisin jar or aluminum jar, and take off the lid.

2. Stick a lot of electrical tape or even sealant tape on the jar mouth crisscross until the jar is completely closed.

Step 3 measure the size. Cut a piece of drawing paper, wrap it around the container, stick it tightly on the jar, and then stick it with tape.

If you want to look good, you can decorate your drum. Cut out various shapes with other drawing paper and stick them on the side of the drum. You can also draw pictures on it if you like.

5. Try to make some drums that sound better. Make a pair of drum sticks, crumple a pile of paper towels at the end of the pencil, stick sealant tape or electrical tape on the surface, and make another drum stick in the same way.

6. Try playing drums. Now you can play with your drum. You can play according to your favorite music rhythm.
