The World Is Your Drum Kit

A ping pong ball as a guiro? A trash can as a bass drum? In this video, watch Reuben Spyker turn a bottle of toothpicks into a shaker and make the world into a percussive paradise.

Anyone can incorporate out-of-the-box drumming into their vocabulary by trying creative techniques and sound sources. You can drum on (or with) virtually anything! And you can drum pretty much anywhere.

So we want you to help us prove it.
