It was sunny today. Last night, I saw MeeMaw receive an express package. It was a rain drum. I bet most people haven't heard of it. It's basically a metal case shaped like unbaked bread dough. On its top, there are thirteen openings on its top with flappers inside. You beat these flappers with a stick, and it produces a melodious and echoing tone. However, in my opinion, the best way to "play" this thingy is to leave it on the balcony. On a rainy day, it will create its own unique melody by capturing the sounds of the falling rain. I am so looking forward to a rainy day.

It was sunny today. Last night, I saw my Meemaw receive an express delivery package. It was a rain drum. I bet most people haven't heard of it. It's basically a metal case shaped like unbaked bread dough. On its top, there are thirteen openings with flaps inside. When you hit these flaps with a stick they produce a melodious and echoing tone. However, in my opinion, the best way to "play" this thingy is to leave it on the balcony. On a rainy day, it will create its own unique melody by producing sounds as rain drops hit the flaps. I am really looking forward to a rainy day.
I suppose you meant "flaps" not "flappers". To capture a sound means to record it, not to make it.

You’re right, I hadn’t heard of it! How do you hit the flappers if the flappers are inside?
