The Clanging Drum Pedal

I trotted straight into the kitchen on an expedition! Right beside the counter, a tall shiny metal cylinder guarded the floor with a little flat pedal sticking out at the base. I hopped with both feet right onto that silver footrest—clatter-bang! The shiny lid snapped wide open like a giant metal jaw, startling me into a backwards somersault! It slammed back down with a hollow, echoing gong. What a fantastic noisemaker! I scrambled up, planted one paw on the pedal to keep the lid hovering, and shouted a loud 'Ahem!' straight into the hollow belly just to hear the metallic ring talk back.
