Materials You'll Need

• Cardboard boxes (different sizes)
• Duct tape
• Scissors
• Markers or paint
• Plastic wrap or aluminum foil
• Rice or beans (for filling)
• Sticks or pencils (for drumsticks)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Drum Base

Start by cutting the bottom off of a cardboard box. The size of the box will determine the size of your drum.

2. Attach the Drumhead

Cut a circle out of plastic wrap or aluminum foil that is slightly larger than the opening of the drum base. Stretch the plastic wrap or aluminum foil over the opening and secure it with duct tape.

3. Fill the Drum

Fill the drum with rice or beans. The amount of filling will determine the sound of the drum. More filling will make a higher-pitched sound, while less filling will make a lower-pitched sound.

4. Create the Drumsticks

Use sticks or pencils as drumsticks. You can decorate the drumsticks with markers or paint.

5. Play Your Drum

Now that your drum is complete, it's time to play it! Hit the drumhead with the drumsticks to create your own music.

Tips for Making Your Drums Sound Better

• Use different sizes of cardboard boxes to create drums with different pitches.
• Experiment with different materials for the drumhead, such as plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or paper.
• Adjust the amount of filling in the drum to change the sound.
• Decorate your drums with markers, paint, or other materials to make them unique.

Creating your own drums from simple materials is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little creativity, you can make a drum that sounds great and looks amazing. So what are you waiting for? Get started today and make some music!
