<p>Jim's soda bottle thing sounds really good. Tambourines are done alot , Cheese box sound good you can use light plywood for a sound board you don't need bracing if the diameter is small.. Plastic and thin metal kitchen stuff. Many kinds of hand drums have been used toy drums bongos.</p>
<p>Or anything from isle 6 at Home Depot. Take care Rose</p>
