Nicholas' Ticka-Tang My outstanding instrument is the Ticka-Tang. This is a fabulous drum set. I came up with this nice idea because I like beats and I also like the drums. I built it by collecting junk around the house that I could strike. What I first tried was an ice cream pail, then that turned into 2 pie tins stuck together as my snare. Another pie tin was used as the cymbal and empty coffee cans were used as the backup drums.   To make the snare sound more like a snare, I put rice inside to make it sound like the jazzy drum it is.  To play it you just hit it with sticks or something else.  Thank you for learning how to play and how I made the Ticka-Tang!
