List cheap not hard to learn instruments (drum, member, track)

I plan and using an array of weird but not hard to master instruments for my new project. So far i'm going to throw in bass/guitar and multi-track those and probably going to incorporate some screaming and maybe some drums. It'll be primarily acoustic or mellow.

List so far
- Harmonica
- Triangle
- Kazoo

=D I was trying to remember the name of that one but couldn't thank you.

I've got a kazoo, they're good fun. You can always use those egg shaker things to keep time for the drums... Uhh. Ukelele(sp?) could be fun. That's about all I can think of, but you can always use a fair bit of percussion.

Tamborine....Cymbals....any sort of shaker/Maracas.

And you could always learn how to whistle!

Good sounding cymbals aren't cheap.

MORE COWBELL!!!

[/cliche drummer reference remark]

Most auxiliary percussion, bells/triangles/tambourines, are easy to learn. Just got to know how to keep a beat...... you'd think it was simple, but there's another thing; they other people you work with ALSO have to know how to keep a beat. HAHA. Or else what you can do is pretty moot.
