Creative

I know that stainless steel drums have many uses, such as storage for food and beverage, or on the other extreme, waste! I will say that my favorite use of a steel drum would be when they are played! I remember going to the parades as young child and waiting for the Shriner's to come floating by. They would always have a steel drum band that made a beautiful sound in my ears! I suppose people all over the world take items and create instruments. My uncle has a bass made out of a washtub! Have you ever seen or heard a washtub bass? They sound great and they look fun! I also remember playing a comb as a child. You take a comb and put wax paper on it and play it like a harmonica. Too fun. Being creative has it's perks, but you have to admit the more creative you are the more funny looks you will receive!
