Homemade packing tape drum - Child's Play Music

- childsplaymusic.com.au/ & / childsplaymusicperth . A very easy way to make a drum that sounds quite good. Using ordinary packing tape for the drum skin, you can make this drum in around ten minutes. This project is suitable for young children, and a 4 year old could make one with a little assistance from an adult.
For the drum shell you can use anything that is round, fairly rigid, and about 150mm or larger in diameter. A coffee can or a baby formula can works well, but for larger drums paint cans, PVC pipe, PVC containers, heavy cardboard tube (the stuff sold in hardware stores for forming concrete footings) all work well. You can even use an old car tyre to make a Taiko-style drum. Don't use a light plastic bucket - it must be fairly strong.
I would suggest making a number of these drums in different sizes so you have a good variety of drum sounds. The smaller drums (up to around 250mm) can be suspended on a loop of rope so children can play them while standing - instant marching band!
The drum skin will last a week or two of playing, less if you play hard (it doesn't sound any better if you whack it, so just go easy and it will hold up fine). Ordinary drumsticks are fine, as are chopsticks or hardwood dowel with the ends rounded off. You can also play it by hand.
Have fun!

Even tho this was made 8 years ago this guy is a legend he just helped me with a science project
Same
same
Yes
Frr
This man is helping me with my VIA project and I'm living for it
Thanks for explaining this project so thoroughly. I'm an patient in a nursing home who is starting to make homemade musical instruments out of recyclables with my occupational therapist as part of my therapies and will be keeping some of my instruments I mske and giving others to other patients so they can have some musical fun. These drums are probably going to be the second project I take on, thank you in advance for what will hopefully be a lot of fun.
My daughter has to do a drum for a school project, I love this more than the balloon one. Thank you for making this video.
Your video saved our day in science project where my child was asked to create a musical instrument and we followed your instructions. Thank u so much
This is amazing, was looking for a cheap alternative to a real drum/drumkit. thanks for this tutorial it's awesome :D and it sounds alright too.
I made the Drum my self and it sounds really good keep it up
Super quick and easy to make, I'm using it for a baby class I teach. Thanks for posting!
12 years later, and thus tutorial still is helpful
Thank you for this awesome tutorial!! It has helped me so much with my music project😁. The drum sounds amazing and it is super easy to make.
I started a band with 5 people today. The names of the people I started the band was Max(me),Madilyn,Audrey,Breighton,Brooklyn. Madilyn and Audrey left the birthday party. So we weren't able to fake record music
@FootBall432221 You're welcome! Thanks for being the first person to make a comment on my little video - I will be uploading more videos soon.
Your method seems to be very easy. I'm a pre-school teacher, teacher in a project-based school. Shall try out this method with my 2 to 3 year olds for their coming exhibition on this May.

Thanks a lot Alex... Very helpful... You helped in my physics project
I love ur idea very much!!
It's simple n inspiring!!
Thx for sharing!!
You would be surprised how hard you can hit this without it breaking. It's certainly not as durable as real drum skins, but mainly because over time it stretches rather than breaks. I use drumsticks made out of 12mm dowel (1/2 inch) and I can hit it just as hard as I hit my drums with Remo skins without it breaking. I don't demonstrate that in the video only because it would have caused the audio track to clip and distort really unpleasantly.
So the profacy has came true
......
Mayonase is an instrument
Prophecy* Mayonaise* come*
But when will the horseradish become an instrument? that prophecy is yet to come
Holly moly this is perfect!!!!
Well, If the drum is open at the bottom it will be more resonant and louder, with a longer sustain. It will still work if you don't cut the bottom out, but it definitely sounds better if it's open. Alternatively, if you've got a hole-saw you can cut a large-ish hole in the side of the drum - say 1 to 2 inches in diameter. That will help, because what you are trying to do is stop the air that is trapped inside a closed drum from acting like a spring that damps the skin's vibrations.
i'll make it for me !
The "skin" was the last trick i didn't know how to get. Now i know. thx
this man is a genious why isn't he famous...
Hola guapa😝😝
That is a good drum ever .
I love it.
I`m also building instruments with simple materials (and a lot of fun:) - great work, keep it up!
Brian post them mate share your knowledge it will help a lot of people
the sound is good!!
sounds really good
Thank You So Much It sounds so good
Beautiful 😍😍😍
Depends on the drum shell and the size of the drum - but yes, they can be very loud. Not as loud as a real drum, but much louder than your average toy kid's drum.
Extraordinary Thanks for share.
Very nice and hard working nice cute man best home made drum well done

would it last longer if you run a piece of tape all they way around the drum over the ends of the tape you criss crossed , or does it just break on the top ?

Very useful. I've always loved the drums but couldn't afford to buy myself one. Now I can at least get something. Thanks!
very cool dude
Is it possible to make a bass drum with tape?Also,could you post a tutorial on how to make the bugle?Thank you sir.
This is very helpful because I am making an instrument for Music Class and I have no idea what to make because I can't go to the store yet and I am really impatient. Thanks! :]

hey can u plss tell me how much big pipe i should use or wat length and breadth pipe did u use
i dont know a lot about drums, but what makes the drum the key? like the snare is a higher one. the bass is lower. is it the diameter or the length of the sides of the bucket?
Do you think you could find a way to make cymbals
Thanks, this is exactly what I needed.
Good, but will it blend?
I'm your 1000th subscriber!
nice
ขอบคุณสำหรับวิดีโอนี้มากครับ ผมอยากทำมานานแล้ว :)
Possibly - try it and see. If it works, great! If not, find something cylindrical :)
Ever heard of "clubs" or a normal pair of drum sticks with the tips sawed off and then you flip them over? I also continually do a rim shot in the exact spot when I play, so after 45 minutes has lapsed, there will be an indent almost exactly at the center of the black dot. If you're still following, I'll let you do the rest of the math (e.g.; "beating the shit out of my drum set" would probably be irrelevant at this juncture).
I fund this video interesting. It gave me an idea
siiiii gracias suena muy lindo
Very good
Good video) Thanks for idea...))
I think it is cool.
What materyuls did you use
what kind of drum is this?
Great idea man you could use more tape and make it more resistent and olso the can or the bail can be bigger and deeper to change the sound :-)
Yeah! It'll make a cool drum set if you put them in some kid of homemade stand!!!!,
AWESOME TX !!!!!A LOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it
Very nice and good
Valeu tio pela dica vou fazer

How do you make a bass pedal
eeyy that sound is decent for a DIY recycled mats drum. Thank you! I'm gonna make one right now hehe You just saved me $100 dollars!
Very very nice
hello where can i find a wood drum shell like yours?
It is cardboard i think.
@JerryTheSpartan a drum will have a lower pitch if it is larger in diameter, and/or the drum skin is more massive (heavier per unit area), and/or the skin is under lower tension. A small drum with a light, tight skin has a higher pitch than a large drum with a heavy, loose skin. A longer drum shell with a large volume affects the perceived tone (more bassy), but not the actual pitch. A snare makes the drum brighter in tone, but the pitch is unchanged. Hope this helps :)
thank you so much
omg i love love love it
Not really an issue - it's so quick and cheap to put a new skin on. Many "real" drums can't be tuned - most frame drums like like Irish bodhrans have no tuning mechanism (some modern bodhrans do, but traditionally if you wanted to tune one you stood it in front of a fire or heater - that temporarily raised the pitch of the drum). Won't work with this design - it would lower the pitch, since plastic gets softer and stretchier with heat. Worst case - plastic burns! Black smoke, toxins ...
Very good your drun pad
I need this for a project
Just buy a pair!
Yhis gave me a 100% on my music
