Anybody ever try making their own set of drums out of other objects? I remember an episode of "Home Improvement" where Tim and Al had "The Original Garage Band" on their "Tool Time" show. The drummer had made his kit out of a fifty-gallon plastic waste container for the bass drum, the snare was a 1-gallon plastic gas container, the tom was a 2-gallon container and the floor tom was a 5-gallon plastic bucket. The cymbal was a metal waste basket lid.
The only "conventional" hardware was the kick pedal.
