Odd Percussive Instruments

dabhoys

Just wondering what your favorite odd percussion instruments are...

I'm looking to acquire some interesting pieces to have around for some old recording here and there. You know things like rain sticks etc....

Spoons! Saw a bloke in a pub in Galway a few years back- he was deadly!!! It looks real simple until you try.

Hang drums are amazing, dying to get my hands on one, not many of them are made a year afaik.

Plastic drums (as in oil drums, not drumming drums)
Wine glasses
Plastic piping (can be cut to be tuned to a specific note, like a big marimba)
Sheet metal
Tuned percussion is always nice (glockenspiel, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, etc.)
Tibetan singing bowl (not usually used as a percussion instrument but sounds nice)
Bells

(and how have you been Jay?)

My name is Mud

I want caribbean steel drums

I've always liked the Balafon. If you had some cash, some crotales would be awesome!
