      @@3xguysxfightingx He just mic-ed them actually, and used the signals to trigger actual sampled drums, etc. in software (probably pro-tools?). What Steven and David are doing, I think is a lot more intensive, as they're actually using the acoustics of the boxes (and/or cans, in David's case). Getting them to sound like a real kit, is a challenge!😁

      Hey dude if your looking for e a nice starter kit the tama super star classic maple drums for under a 1000 bucks and Yamaha has the stage custom there made of birchwood with hardware for under 1000 and if you have a bank card you can get on a payment plan from ams com or zzounds. Com good luck don't go crazy cause it's really easy to go overboard I think you could get either one of these kits for like 60 100 bucks a month for like 6,8,,12 months depending on how many months you want to pay look into it if I had to save for all my gear it wouldn't happen cause life dose

    I used to go and watch a local trad jazz band back home in Scotland; they were all guys who’d been playing since the 50s, and I’d usually sit in for a few tunes after the break. One day their drummer had car trouble and couldn’t get to the pub where they were playing, so we improvised a kit with a few stools, instrument cases, pint glasses, crisp packets and whatnot, and I played the whole gig on that. Not much volume, but it worked well. :-D

    This has all the makings of a great reality competition show... judges are Stewart Copeland, Dave Grohl and Sheila E. Contestants are challenged to make kits using parts sourced from various environments, like an emergency room, a junk yard, or maybe a beer bottling plant. Contestants are judged on skill and creativity...

    Wow, this is how I learned drums for the first few months! Only minus the fancy drum hardware and plus a tambourine (with improvised “snares” on the head) for a snare and some stacked metal bits for cymbals. No kick pedal so I sat on the floor and whacked my kick box drum with the side of my foot. It was a really big box so it actually sounded pretty good! The whole setup wasn’t half bad.

    When I was 15, at some point during the last century, I wanted to learn how to play drums. For 6 months I used old card board boxes, large plastic tubs and a cardboard suitcase. I did not have a foot pedal, so I "played" the suitcase in a heel down position. It did have some depth of sound. That was how I started. My mother, gave me the money to buy an ancient set of drums which were cheap even when they were new. Such was my beginning, this was well before there was such a thing as the internet or DVDs. Today, I have a brand name set that I saved 2 years to get - and it all started with empty cardboard boxes!

    Real good sounding and faint as well for practicing at home

    I made a tiny drum kit out of cardboard that's made completely out of cardboard. the cymbals are even branded with paiste or zildjian or something

    Imho. I’d go looking for the plastic cans with say 12 to 14 inch and then dampen them with tape. Same for metal things. I know you will improve the kit. Also try a pillow type kit……great job guys…..

    When literal boxes sound better than your kit.
