We've been looking for instructions for a drum project suitable for my son's homework. Naturally, he doesn't want to make shakers or anything simple, but a bass drum. Any suggestions? It's got to not involve too many special tools or materials!
Many thanks,

1. To make the base drum, trace the outline of a hula hoop onto Fome-Cor and cut it out with a utility knife. Tape the cardboard sheet to the hula hoop, spacing the strips of duct tape about 7 inches apart. (To make the cardboard more flexible, try rolling it up lengthwise first.) Insert the Fome-Cor circle into the hula hoop and adjust it until it sits approximately 2 1/2 inches in from the rim. Secure the Fome-Cor with thumbtacks set along the outside of the cardboard, then cover the cardboard with gift wrap.

A hoola-hoop might be too big. See if you can come across a 5gal bucket and cut off both ends so its not too wide for your child.
