you can do this with any drum. Its actually quite wacky with a bass drum
(if yours is airtight - mine has no tom mounts, so its quite airtight).
The
floor tom is a pretty fun trick. The snare drum usually works well too,
its
a funky effect if you keep the heads loose to begin with. Check out
Galactic's drummer Stanton Moore. There's a track on one of their albums
which is just him on his floor tom + air tube with a trumpet player. He's
got a handful of other fun tricks too including toilet brushes on drums,
metal bowl placed upside down on floor tom, and melodic glass bottle solos.
Obligatory loop content: Stanton is also a looper using a boomerang and
other effects live. Actually my first introduction to looping was seeing
him do it live!
