http://childsplaymusic.com.au/ &   / childsplaymusicperth  . You can use packing tape to make a drum skin    • Homemade packing tape drum - Child's ...   . But will duct tape or gaffer tape work?

Not really - duct tape is too heavy and too stretchy to work well; gaffer tape is even worse. This video explains why and shows the difference in sound of the three options.

Thanks to Juliet for asking me this question on my Facebook Page   / childsplaymusicperth   . I didn't know the answer! Now we all know.
