Your own drum
Your drum would not be like the real one, it is bit delicate so do not hit it too hard. Different sounds can be produced by hitting the different parts of the drumskin. Sound will be best if you hit it close to the edge. You can play the drum with your hands/Kulfi sticks or chopsticks.

Children may need the help of elders to cut the cork in half with a knife and pushing in the kulfi sticks in straw, to make the beaters.
