Slipknot - Killpop - beating a keg with a baseball bat (www.youtube.com)

Throughout the song they beat a beer keg with a baseball bat to deliver one specific sound that fits really nicely into the song.

You can start at ~1:20, the first beer keg is at ~1:30. Or listen to it whole, it's generally a great song.
