The Bug is an electro-acoustic percussion board.
Designed by Tom
Nunn, this one was built from the original plans by Ted.
Threaded 1/4" rods, nails, springs, strings and bronze
welding rods all protrude from the birch 9 ply top,
amplified by a contact pickup mounted underneath. It's
played with various mallets, sticks and rods.

On the right is a Dumbek (a traditional drum from the Middle East) and another Richard Waters creation the (what else) Water Drum. The Water Drum is 2 deep stainless steel pots welded together with a round hole cut out in the middle. A small amount of water is put inside, which changes the pitch of the notes as they're played.
Below is a set of Bamboo Tong Drums. |

Three bamboo Batutu (also called Buzz Sticks) made by Richard Waters. They are usually held in one hand and stuck against something soft but firm (like the palm of the other hand or a knee). |
