Electronic Drum

Topic(s): Music

Build an electronic drum out of PVC pipe, guitar string, foam and aluminum tape. Connect to a cheesy keyboard or drum machine to kick some beats. Build an analog drum circuit for that 80’s disco ping sound. Members of a high school science class will show you how it’s done.
