The creative people at darts have teamed up with percussionist Gary Hammond to help everyone create simple percussion instruments at home.

Make new beats, rhythms and sounds with everyday things around your home. Anything goes as long as you don’t break it!

Here are some ideas:

• Saucepans
• Pasa or rice in jars or tins for shakers
• Straws to blow water in cups, bowls or buckets for gurgling waterfalls
• Whistling or blowing for the wind
• Frying pans,
• Cheese graters…

…..there are LOTS more ideas in the resource packs here. 

There are also some videos to watch some of the sounds Gary discovered.
