Cool stuff, Paul.
When I was a young man, I played nose flute in The Cosmic S**ts & Giggles Jug Band; our percussionist, the late Craig Luke, used 2 sticks (not drumsticks; lengths of 1X1) on a galvanized gallon bucket, a 5 gal. plastic bucket, a cardboard box, and whatever else was close at hand. I love found percussion!
