Neither had we&#8230;but we&#8217;re glad we&#8217;ve seen it now.<\/p>\n<p>David Raouf (aka <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNQQY5Ro8Lk6gssOQSSDcfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rdavidr on YouTube<\/a>) wants to challenge you to create some unusual and awesome sounds using only items you found at a thrift store.<\/p>\n<p>You can buy whatever you want at a music store, but at the end of the day, a shaker is a shaker and a tambourine is a tambourine. At a thrift store, you can find knick knacks or unconventional &#8216;non instruments&#8217; to become percussive sound sources. Whether you mount something to a stand as its own piece or you add it to a cymbal or tom to give it some new flair, you never know what kind of new sounds might inspire your playing.<\/p>\n<p>David recommends looking for random metal objects (like dog bowls, pot lids, or even a door handle) or wood pieces (like cutting boards, an abacus, or a random wooden alligator), but you can choose whatever you want. If it doesn&#8217;t already have a hole in it, make sure you have a drill with a 1 inch bit handy.<\/p>\n<p>For more awesome DIY drum experiments, hacks and projects, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNQQY5Ro8Lk6gssOQSSDcfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David&#8217;s YouTube channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"email-form-include-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/weeklyemail\" frameborder=\"none\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever seen a grown man play an abacus like a shaker?
