Hi DiggidyDelRio, this is recorded on a Zoom H1. The bulk of the sound is the vibration of a kitchen counter and a wall by drumming the surface using my hands. There are also plastic boxes being dropped (if my memory serves me right, a box of pencils and also an aluminium container with Jenga blocks in). Thanks for taking interest.
