My musical Instrument
We as a group were asked to create our own musical instrument. This instrument could be a replica of anything that we had seen or played before or it could have been our own creation. It then had to be made out of any material of our choosing. I decided to create a drum set but with a unique twist. I made the drum set, purely out of buckets.
My inspiration
My inspiration for creating the drum set entirely out of buckets, came from a video which I had seen on YouTube, taken from the MTV2 in March 2006. During this time, 'Foo Fighters' were on the channel for the "24 hours of Foo" special.
In Times Square, band front-man, Dave Grohl, and drummer, Taylor Hawkins, went outside and saw three guys drumming away using nothing but different sized buckets. Grohl and Hawkins joined in with them. Each drummer was playing their own rhythm section, but none of them were out of sync or out of time with each other.
Here's the video of them in action:
