Membranophone

I decided to make a membranophone for this blog assignment. I discovered the perfect item to use, my roommates partially finished can of pringles. I took the top off and put some wax paper that we have on top of it and taped it down with some duct tape. It actually sounded better than I anticipated. I then decided to see what would happen if all of the chips were out of the container, so I emptied them, and the sound was distinctly different, sounding more hollow and somewhat bigger. I decided to make a little beat out of it using a pencil from my desk. Unfortunately, since I am technologically inept, I was unable to upload video of this.
