A tenor solo i performed earlier this year at a summer percussion camp i attended at McKendree College in Illinois. The final sticks i use that everyone laughs at at the end are actually a set of toy whales.

http://richard-c.com This video tutorial will show you how to make a contact microphone out of a $2 Piezo Transducer (part#: 273073A) from Radioshak. You also need an some sort of audio connector, which can either be salvaged from old electronics (preferred solution) or bought from Radioshack as well. This video also demonstrates how to make shockmount for the mike out of scrap styrofoam. You can use this contact microphone to amplify various musical instrument and even object. Here are some examples: mbira (as shown in the video. aka finger piano), yukalaylee, guitar, cello, glass, and pretty much any sort of idiophone, membranophone, and cordophone :). This microphone is cheap and can be mounted on your instrument for recording and live performance. I have to give a shout out to Jamie Burkart who showed me how to make this contact mike in the first place!

More random beats... this is kind of what it's like when I just jump behind my kit... I don't ever spend much time trying to play other people's music, I just flow, I guess.. put a guitar or bass in front of me, and I become much more structured.
