One of my "fun activities" is playing percussion (congas, bongos, djembe's ,etc.). Some time back, the church worship band I played in needed another drummer. I was encouraged to give it a try. Rather than waste a bunch of time and money buying a "real" drum kit, I decided to see if I could build my own to practice at home with.
I put this "bucket drum kit" together after a trip to the local hardware store. (Okay, I bought the hi-hat and kickdrum pedal, but I got 'em real cheap.) I found out really quickly that I wasn't coordinated enough to make my feet cooperate! Eventually, I disassembled my "PVC Special"...except for the snare drum...you never know when you might need a plastic bucket snare drum.
Til next time...

You are a rock star! Glad you are enjoying all sides of your creativity. You definitely enrich my life:)
You could join the Fat Albert band with that thing. Or sue Rockband/Guitar Hero folks. Just sayin'.
Makes me sad for poor Cathy that I gave you that snare drum for Christmas when you were about, what, 10 or 12 years old? Big mistake! Mom
Cool !
