==Summary==
When the Tibble Twins get a set of drums and decide to perform the Summer Serenade Festival, D.W. wishes that she has an instrument of her own to play, and ultimately creates her own instrument.

==Plot==
[[D.W. Read|D.W.]] discovers that the [[Timmy and Tommy Tibble|Tibble Twins]] got a set of drums for the Summer Serenade D.W. wants to try it out, but Tommy will not let her. After that, D.W. dreams of her getting her own drum as a size of a giant! Then the set dream was the Tibbles playing their drums then when we zoomed on Tommy he hears D.W.'s set then he looks shocked then he sees his drumsticks shatter to pieces then the symbols starts cracking and shattering then they parts where you play tears up and then when Tommy and Timmy sees it messing up, the what's left of it fall to the ground they rush to their grandma crying, and then we see the drums messing up all of [[Elwood City]] then when we see Arthur play piano the keys then Arthur cries he'll never be as loud as D.W.  .After the dream then D.W. tells them her parents are going to get bigger drums [[Jane Read|Jane]] says no, then D.W. dreams about everybody making fun of her at the Summer Serenade. When she sees Arthur and his friends playing their instrument, she imagation herself playing each one which would amaze them and make the Tibbles jealous. However, as each tried one, reality kicks in when she found out she not good or doesn't know how to play them. So she started to play on Francine's drums but she played it loud enough that Arthur and his friends can hear them. Francine said that D.W. almost broke them, and Fern said there's a difference between music and loud noises and Francine played a solo as an example to show D.W. that you have to practice an instrument so you can be good at them.

While swinging Kate on the swing, D.W. laments to herself how she realize all instrument even the easy to make sounds like drums take practice and now have nothing to play on Saturday. With a little help from Kate, D.W. realizes that she doesn't needs musical instrument, since she heard random noises that sound like music. So she decides to come up with her own type of instrument. 

'''D.W. gets:'''

*Kitchen Timer
*A Metronome
*Pogo Stick
*Sand Paper
*Spoons
*Hammer
*Cheese Grater
*Fan
*Rubber Ducky
*Newton's cradle
*A Toy ferris wheel
*[[Princess Sneeze-and-Wet]]
*A Bicycle Bell
*Glass Bottles
*[[Kate Read|Kate]]'s Rattle
*A can of soda 
*Moo cans 
*Prunella's old See 'n Say 

Finally, she combines them into one thing and is prepared to go to the Summer Serenade. However, because of the Tibble Twins playing randomly, many people are leaving. But when D.W. starts, the audience takes a liking to it. At the end of the song, D.W. shakes the soda can; the soda sprays everywhere, and the timer ends. Everybody is amazed and applauds her, wanting her to take another bow.

The Tibble Twins then want D.W. to teach them how to play her instrument. D.W. offers to give them her bottles since she plans to make a bigger creation next time (which causes Dad and Mom to look at each other in surprise).
