improvised drumkit with knex

got knex? so do i!cant afford drums? well neither can i.
so i made thos
this works for me until i actually get some drums
u will have to do a little bit of scavenging for things
but after that the knex part is easy

Step 1: Find stuff to use as drums and cymbals

i use a tin, some bowls and a big bucket for a bass
i use a keyboard stand as a cymbalstand
and dome metal cups as cymbals

i have a metal cart ting that i use as a hi hat

My friend and I made a complete drum set completely out of knex including a bass with pedal, tom, snare, two cymbals and a hi-hat with a pedal.

[smattman22]

double bass is a large stringed instrument. Double bass pedal now thats a different story

[The Jamalam]

a doube bass is a string instrument that you have to stand up to play btw...

[DrWeird117]

No it isn't.

[Wafflicious]

[Flumpkins]

[DrWeird117]

A Doube Bass isn't a string instrument you stand up and play; a double bass is.

[Flumpkins]

OMG!!! That is the funniest thing I have seen all day!

[DrWeird117]

[Flumpkins]

[bannana inventor]

[iforgot345]

[dance1212]

[iforgot345]

[knexfreak95]

[pls]

you should start a band

[barrax]

Join my new group: Knex band!

[barrax]

yeah! i will add this to my new group (when it comes) Knex instruments.

[PineapplebobTheGreat]

Cool. I made one a little while back as well, but I used knex for everything. The drums were made in the shape and size as normal drums and had 30 - 50 rubberbands stretched across each one to make it so that after you hit it, the drum sound would be produced. I stretched each rubberband differently, so I was able to get pretty close to the normal sounds of drums. I never made symbals, though.b

[iforgot345]

i rebuilt and remnofated it today , i posting pics soon

[iforgot345]

lol i forgot to say that i had pennies taped to the underside of the tin

[Oompa-Loompa]

I like the idea behind the bass pedal.

[Bartboy]

I might just steal this idea, as I already made one once, but it did not have symbals.....
