Ready to turn a home-grown gourd into a rattle? Mambo to the sound of Latin maracas you made yourself from toilet tank floats? If you dance to the beat of a different drum, SOUND DESIGNS will teach you how to build truly unique musical instruments, including oil drum gongs, thumb pianos, cowbells, tube drums, and willow whistles. Sources for these and many other designs are drawn from cultures worldwide – from the Stone Age to the Space Age. The necessary materials can be purchased easily, or simply found in nature or a junkyard. This revised edition includes a preface by drum circle leader Arthur Hull. Composer and teacher Jon Scoville has performed the music of Brazil, Latin America, India, Appalachia, Detroit, and the Balkans. Reinhold Banek is a woodworker and pumpkin grower who will build almost anything for fun.
