Jonathan's Rhythms From Found Objects

In this episode, I demonstrate four drums I made from cardboard tubes typically used in work with concrete. They are all four feet long and nine inches wide. The drum heads consist of painter's tape, aluminum foil, clear packaging tape and brown packaging tape, respectively.

In this episode, I demonstrate how I play tube drums I made from sheets of cardboard, each 8.5 by 11 inches. These rhythm instruments have drum heads made from painter's tape. First, I demonstrate each drum separately. Then I play them together, as if they were bongo drums.

This episode includes a mix of tracks featuring drums made from a mixture of torn up paper mixed with flour, salt and water. The drum heads consist of masking tape. I used paper cups to form the shapes of the drum shells and removed the cups once the papiermache' had dried completely.

In this episode, I demonstrate how I use pens and pencils as rhythm instruments. The metal part of a #2 pencil itself may serve as a scraper (in the manner of a Latin American guiro), for example. Pens and pencils may be struck together as if they were clapping sticks or claves. In addition, you can rub two pencils, two pens or even one of each together for some interesting sounds. Furthermore, a pen cap may serve as a simple whistle if you blow gently across the open end.

This episode features a mix of tracks including two small goblet drums called djembes. One is a gift from a close friend and the other is an item I bought at a local gift shop.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/jonathans-rhythms-from-found-objects/exclusive-content

In this episode, I demonstrate how I play two saucepans as if they were bongos. For the purpose of the demonstration, I placed both pans upside down on my lap. Perhaps there are alternative methods where there is a minimal risk of the pans knocking together or falling to the floor.
