Water music device
View Patent ↗A water music device is provided. In one embodiment, the device permits a child to play a song wherein the different tones of the song are generated by tubes filled to different levels using any liquid, such as water. In another embodiment, the water music device may be one or more water drum devices.
1. A floatable water drum device, comprising:
a first drum housing having an open bottom end into which liquid may flow when the first drum housing floats on a liquid; and
one or more pontoons attached to the drum housing which maintain a first predetermined quantity of liquid within the first drum housing to generate a first predetermined tone.
2. The floatable water drum device of claim 1 , further comprising a second drum housing having an open bottom end into which liquid may flow when the second drum housing floats on a liquid, and one or more'pontoons attached to the second drum housing which maintain a second predetermined quantity of liquid within the second drum housing to generate a second predetermined tone.
3. The floatable water drum device of claim 1 , wherein the first drum housing further comprises a bottom portion that seals the open bottom end of the first drum housing to form a closed interior portion wherein the first drum housing floats on the liquid.
4. The floatable water drum device of claim 3 , wherein the first drum housing further comprises a valve mechanism to selectively permit the liquid to flow into or out of the closed interior portion to change the tone of the water drum device.
5. A floatable drum that is played by a user and is floatable in a water environment, which comprises:
a drum housing having a closed top end, an open bottom end situated axially opposite the closed top end and a side wall extending between the open bottom end and the closed top end, the side wall, closed top end and open bottom end defining a cavity for receiving a volume of water, the cavity being at least partially fillable by the user with a desired volume of water from the water environment when the floatable drum is placed in the water environment, the closed top end of the drum housing being strikeable by the user to thereby emit a sound from the floatable drum.
6. A floatable drum that is played by a user and is floatable in a water environment, which comprises:
a drum housing having a top closed end, a bottom end situated axially opposite the top closed end and a side wall extending between the bottom end and the closed top end, the side wall, closed top end and bottom end defining a cavity for containing a volume of at least one of air and water, the closed top end of the drum housing being strikeable by the user to thereby emit a sound from the floatable drum; and
a plurality of pontoons mounted on the side wall of the drum housing, the pontoons providing flotation to the floatable drum.
