We know not everyone has a drum, so here are some alternatives you could use instead:
“Drum” - you could use a table, the floor, a box, inflatable ball, books, or a hand drum/upright drum
“Bell” - you could use a can, tin, or glass bottle and tap them with a "stick"
“Sticks” - yo could use 2 chopsticks, pencils, pens, or spoons to tap along together or on your "drum" or "bell"
“Rattles” - use a small container, bottle, or box filled with rice, beans, beads, or other small items and put a lid on top to shake to the beat
Or
You! Use your body as the instrument such as tapping your legs, clapping, or tapping your feet or heels
