Exhibit 0092
The Jolly Drumming Elephant Mambo
Mambo plays the Tom Tom drums and cymbols with the drumsticks in his hands (feet?). The sound can change based on what is "hit" by moving drumset towards or away from Charlie. He also plays the Bass Drum with his right foot and the hit hat with his left foot. Together it all makes a nice rythmic beat to which Mambo moves his elephant trunk from side to side to ring the bell on the end. If that is not enough, his eyes light up as well.
