Making music with only tin can lids - Homemade Instruments

Hi everyone! Today we will explore  the sounds of this. Don't leave! You understood, we will talk about  percussions. The tin can lead is a metal plate,   and to make a sound with a metal plate you have  two main options: cymbal style or gong style.   The difference: vibration nodes. Vibration  nodes are the points where the material   does not vibrate, so the right place to hold or  drill. Held like a gong the center will vibrate   and favor a low tuned fundamental note,  and like a cymbal the edge is vibrating,   we will hear a lot more high harmonics. There  is another way to play it: bouncing plates. I love it, but to take on stage or in studio  it's not very convenient, so, two holes, a board,   two nails, it works with all sizes. We bend a  little the lid and the bouncing is controlled. To play these lids like gongs, we only use  the large diameters: two holes, a string,   each lid will have a note. The sound will  also change depending on the tin can type,   yes there is tin can types, with or  without the bump. You will have to   try a lot of lids to find a complete  scale. You can also tune the lids   by cutting the edges and put some resonators  to make a gamelan style instrument. To play those like cymbals we  are going to drill in the middle   and bolt it tight. Here again  we have a note for each lid,   also tunable, you can make a tuned set  or a cymbal added to the other sound. Let's try! Thanks for watching this video. To learn more  about tin can instruments you can take a look at   my TEDx talk on the subject. I prepared a sample  pack for you with the instruments of this video,   available exclusively on my Patreon.  Support me on Patreon. See you soon bye you
