Does anyone know of any guides, or have any tips regarding building one's own unique original percussion pieces? Particularly, if you have any advice about creating tuned pieces . . .
 
try messing around with PVC pipes! i have seen blue man group use those. they are cool until "metallica" steps in to play with them.

Metallica played with BMG?
 
The newest issue of Modern Drummer has Jeff Tweedy (I think) from Wilco. He talks about building your own percussion pieces. Specifically, he gives instructions on how to modify a floor tom so that you can use your voice through a tube or something like that.

Check it out.
