Instead of repairing a rapidly dripping tap, take advantage of it by installing a Dripping Tap Drum Kit.
Dripping Tap Drum Kit consists of range of scaled down cymbals, snare drum, cow-bell, side and base drums, all attached to randomly repositioning support prongs controlled by waterproof motors.
This
combination of instruments and movements ensure for a continously unpredictable percussive output.
A microphone and amplifier can extend the audible event range, and if you’re really keen on random percussions (as I am) you can record the generated drumming and compress it into a sound scape.
Deluxe version comes with a miniature drumming figure of Ginger Baker, the most incredible drummer who ever lived.

Does water sound the same on a drum as a physical drumstick? |
|

At this scale I doubt it, but recording etc would correct that, otherwise the sound will be tiny…. ie tap dripping on an upturned pot lid. The dripping water could of course provide the power for a drum stick mechanism, but that seems too indirect and overly complex….. ie tap drips in one place but drives a full drum kit in another space. |

Max Roach. I shall say no more. |

Max was a good drummer, but Baker was a lunatic - a total god of the drumming world (link) |
