"Drum" by Andy

My mother and I started out with a coffee can. We cut off both ends and wrapped white paper around it. We cut two circular pieces of vinyl to fit over both ends. After punching holes in the vinyl with eyelets, we stretched it over the ends of the coffee can. We used twine to thread through the eyelets and draw it tight. We finished the drum in about two hours. Sound is produced : Skin (vinyl) that is stretched across a hollow object. The dynamics change depending on how hard or how soft you hit it. When you tighten the drum skin the pitch is higher. When you loosen the drum skin the pitch is lower. The timbre is airy.
