Help with DIY percussions

The marches in Mexico aren't going anywhere and I thought of something that isn't seen that much over here but I've seen it happening in several big marches in the states.
I need you guys to help me find information on how to build DIY drums and similar percussion instruments to be carried around. My idea if to make something like a People's Percussion Brigades or something similar. I know there are actually groups like that in the United States and I know there's gotta be information about how to begin one and with what materials and even some rhythms.
In Mexico there's this thing called banda de guerra and it would be very easy to get real drums for it, but I know there have been a lot of awesome sounds achieved with street made drums that don't compare with just regular drums.

Did you try instructables.com? Delkaetre introduced me to it, and it has a lot of great stuff including DIY drums.

It's not about the politicians, dipshit. You don't even know what's going on in Mexico and you pretend you can be all superior with a nirvana fallacy complex because it must be 'kinda like 'murica no?'

When was the last time you said something smart?

There's the obvious, bean-shakers. And of course, there's the coffee-can drum. But if you want REAL sound, get an empty oil drum and put it on a wagon or something. You can leave it intact, or cut it in half, but you hit it with something beefy and it KICKS.

You can also use a bucket. But the thing to consider when doing so is acoustics--you want the sound to carry. Metal slaps are pretty loud...
