You've got music in your soul. You can feel the rhythm, see the crowd, and hear the notes play out even in the most deafening of distractions. But you've got a problem: you don't have any instruments. Maybe you lost yours, maybe there's no way to get them, or maybe, as is sadly often the case, you just can't afford it... either way, it doesn't matter. You can feel the music and you're not going to let something so simple as a lack of instruments stop you. Anything is possible if you have the ingenuity to do it. Pick up a trashcan, bang on the lid, and make some drums. Pull together some shoestrings and make a guitar, and break off a lead pipe and make it into a trombone. Break out the stomping boots and the tap dancing shoes while you're at it. Pretty soon, you've got yourself a Trash Can Band, and before long the music just flows out. Even the A Cappella groups can do it! Compare Everything Is an Instrument and Banging Pots and Pans, neither of which are unusual for such a band. |

Nature Cat and his friends resort to a rural variant when they ruin their real instruments shortly before a Battle of the Bands competition. They resort to using sticks, shells, a hollow log, pebbles and hollow reeds for improvised instruments. | |

One of the drumkits you can purchase in the Rock Band games is the Warehouse Original Kit, a bunch of boxes, rusty cans and pipes put together. It's purely aesthetical, though. | |

One large set piece in Machinarium centers on helping a robot band after their instruments were destroyed by the Black Cap Brotherhood. A hi-hat robot drummer even improvises with an empty oil drum when you find one. | |

A few episodes of Home Improvement had a group of workers from K&B Construction come onto the Show Within a Show and talk about the weird things they do on the job (like cooking and hygiene). In the last episode of season 1 and the last episode of the show overall, they performed as a band using instruments made mostly from power tools: Rock Flanagan (Casey Sander) plays the angle grinder on a fifty gallon drum; Dwayne Hoover (Gary McGurk) used hammers on an anvil and a set of chimes made from galvanized piping; Pete Bilker (Mickey Jones) used screwdrivers as drumsticks, a set of trash cans and gas cans (and a wrench) as drums, plus a set of circular saw blades as mounted crash cymbals (the wrench and saw blades only appear in the first performance); John "Juke" Logan (himself) played a normal harmonica that he apparently kept on hand on the job site; and Janeen Rae Heller (herself), having made a solo appearance in an earlier episode of Tool Time, played the saw. The five returned as their band for the series finale of both "Tool Time" and Home Improvement itself, joined by other recurring characters: master upholsterer "Sparky" Henderson on staple gun, Eddie from Eddie's Body Shop on shock absorber, plumber Felix Myman on plunger, and IndyCar racer Mario Andretti on horn (actually a steering wheel from his race car). |

Shawn Crahan of Slipknot is known to do this for part of the percussion sets for the band's two custom percussionists (one of whom is himself), using baseball bats to bang on drumcans and beer kegs alongside standard drumsticks for tom-tom drums, floor toms and bass drums. | |

Desperate to promote his department to the perspective parent, Mr. Rock finds of a box of parts that had fallen off broken instruments and, with Emily's assistance macgyvers them into a set of new, unique instruments. He uses these to form a marching band and crashes Mr. Joy's presentation. | |
