'Improvised drums'





These videos of street performers demonstrate that pretty much anything can be adapted to produced relatively tuneful pieces of musical improvisation. 

You can see the the performer in the second video using his foot to bang the drum on the floor producing a 'kick drum' sound and hitting the top of the same drum with the sticks for a tom drum sound. This practice could be applied to other instruments within music therapy? Possibly to complicated to operate all the different elements of the body together? Too hard to achieve a good sound?
