Idiophone

When first presented with this assignment, I had no idea what do use for my idiophone. Once I started to think about it, I discovered that there are quite a few things at my disposal in everyday life to use as an idiophone. I am a big drinker of gatorade, and had several empty bottles laying around my room. I decided to fill one of the to the top, the other about halfway down, and the other almost completely empty. I then adjusted each one to how I saw fight so as to create a better sound. I used a pencil as the device to strike the bottles. I fooled around with it for quite a while, and actually came up with some pretty good beats that I enjoyed.
