RHYTHM STICKS By:  Travis T. My instrument is called Rhythm Sticks.  To get my idea, I looked on the Internet for making homemade instruments.  I used four paint stirring sticks, glue, paint and paintbrushes.  I got the materials at a hardware store.  I didn't need any tools, just the materials. First, I glued two sticks together and then I glued the other two sticks together.  I let them dry overnight.  After the glue was dry, I painted the sticks different colors. My instrument is a percussion instrument.  The tone quality is a tapping sound.  Tap the sticks together to make sound.  The sound gets louder the harder you tap.
