DIY percussion: Practice-Tone block

This was originally going to be one of my travel cajons, but I drilled the holes in the wrong panel.
So what to do?
Something else.

4-sided practice block made from a cigar box.
— gum rubber on wood
— beetle percussion recycled rubber remnants on wood
— gum rubber on leather and silicone
— adhesive cork (2 layers) on wood
Sound ports for fuller tone.
It’s bulky but fun to play on, and construction expands beyond simply a practice tool because every side offers a different tone.
