Making shakers from empty containers with coffee beans or rice then painting and decorating them for a performance is a great activity for the child and inner child in everyone.
But using a wide variety of unused items it's possible to create a low cost and great sounding drum group... we call it drumcycling! (Instead of recycling and drum circles)
These workshops can happen at school, festivals, the weekly Drumojo session and are great for all the family to be involved with.
With some imagination its possible to create all the sounds, pitches and timbres we need to make, a real racket, we mean lovely sounding performance.
