I used a hobby motor to make it spin and a switch to connect the music and the motor. A little wire and some foam core keep everything in place. The only trouble I’ve come across is that a hobby motor spins really really fast. If you could find one that spins a little slower, it would be better, but I’ve yet to easily find one. Good luck, let me know how it turns out!
