Exploring junk percussion

The cast of the musical I Know Me, and Jake, one of the musical's principle characters, demonstrate playing junk percussion. Musical theatre composer Rebecca Applin explains how they created the beats for the junk percussion piece they play in the musical by using call and response and multi-rhythm. Viewers are encouraged to join in using anything that sounds good when banged or shaken. Rebecca introduces a drumming game, prompting viewers to join in on their turn. An on-screen indicator provides viewers with visual cues for when to play.
