Muffin pan

You have just acquired some superb Pringles/Nestlé drums but you yearn for cymbals to be striked on to produce your next Acrobatic Death Metal Show? You do not find a bunch of 1000 bucks out of your pocketbook?
Don't worry, here comes the muffin pan!
You export your own popcore productions all over Asia and you yearn for a typically asian percussion without knowing a single Standard Mandarin word?
"No the concern, here the mould with tart!" (chinese translation of "Don't worry, here comes the muffin pan!")
You desperately need to make a chocolate cake for your in-laws out of three eggs, flour, milk and chocolate?
These embarrassing situations, we all lived them for you: Don't worry, here comes the muffin pan!

How is that used?

In three very different ways: first of all, with one hand sustaining tha pan from below : the inch-index finger and middle finger forming a triangle on which is pressed the pan. The other hand aims to strike the low end of the pan. You will obtain a sound of cymbal then (At least low spectrum of a cymbal, the acute part is more dependent on the quality of the pan).
The pan must be larger than 30 cm diameter to meet good quality sounding.
Second, you seize an edge of the pan between the inch and the index-middle fingers' duet. Thenafter, you increasingly strike the opposite side of the edge's pan with your free hand's palm: you will obtain a Chinese gong or something alike (always need to be in excellent mood under these conditions!) !
Lastly, third option, set flour, eggs, milk and chocolate on the pan, put in the oven during the time you'll have chosen and wait in-laws' arrival out, siping a tea in a beautiful glass…
It will not have cost you that much and your compositions will be unique (who said : "Whatever happens" ?!).
Nb: Grandmothers madly provide such pans if asked for ;)!!
