If blessed with a fine sound mixer to amplify and control vibrations with amplifier you could discover the next "in demand" sound effect- and not on rawhide thunder drums.
Left square is mounted window screen with speaker mounted to frame. Hit screen with mallet and vary controls to make sounds of distant thunder. Stylus pulled at right speed can sound like machine gun fire. Fast stylus to rip off airplane wing or tear a sail. Bang with a mallet and edit after first contact for cannon fire sound. Right square is sound control circuits and amplifier out to speaker or recording device.
Perhaps the next Sci-Fi sound is a bang away from you?
