"And that still has the film on it, so that'll be fun to peel off." lmao
Dude this is why we love you.
dont worry, I am still working on the videos for the groove percussion kit, I have been waiting on parts and I have been super busy. hold your horses!
+rdavidr where do u find these kits? I cant even find anything good. I really want to find a single 16 inch bass drum but I can't find any. do know where I could find one?
+Jake drums I actually recently converted a 16" floor tom into a kick drum and made a jungle kit
Dude you have like 3 Drum sets....What the fuck...
You need to stop your addiction! Lol
+ϯհεƘίʆʆίηɡεXσϯίɕɓεαςϯ ʆ 4* I think lol.
They look like my first kit, a blue sparkle CB700, which was made by Pearl. Played the kit proudly for 15 years until I got my Ludwigs. They sound pretty damn good with good heads and tuning.
I have redone and repurposed about 8 kits and I am 100% addicted! Great videos! Wish I could find a decent kit for $30!!!
It's an mij kit from the late 60's - 70's. I used to have one the same color. The Tom mount system was bad, so I switched it out for Tama style ratchet L style mounts on a stand. I think that's what happened here.
Wow! What a deal. I paid $300 this past summer for the kit I just "restored." If it hadn't been my childhood drum kit bought from a long time friend, I wouldn't have paid that much. I actually got a couple of my ideas for how to clean my hardware from one of your videos! If you care to check out my short restoration video on that vintage "Majestic DeLuxe" kit, It's on my channel. It was my first attempt at trying a restoration. I made it for my middle school students.
Just make one giant set with those other two.
Yeah, he should just do them all one color and make a 14-piece giant kit!!
Love that finish. That's a whole lotta drums you've acquired for less than $90 altogether.
Sweet looking find... I like blue sparkle kits
Maxwing 1973. Very thin drumshells sick in the studio! Not a live kit as it could crack with the age. Soak it in lemon oil and let it rest.
Wow. I'm excited to see what comes of this kit. Very cool finish.
So excited to see you work on all of those new kits!!!
Can't wait to see these videos for all the new projects!
Sweet kit. Love the cymbal mount on the bass. Cool late 60's early 70's student kit. But love the blue sparkle. I'd clean it up and play it as is
This is the way to go. Especially if your learning or want to get back into playing again. Cool video.
This is in pretty damn good shape for 30 bucks. Better than the $40 set.
I'd just clean that set up and keep it like it is! It would be great for that 60's-70's thuddy dry drum sound! Especially since the resos are gone.
Cool video. Great bargain. Like the blue sparkle.
Can't wait to see what your going to do with these kits
@ rdavidr Consider assembling a superset, a huge set with triple basses, multiple rows of shell toms with each row tuned differently, various sized floor toms on both sides of your throne, etc. RotoToms add a lot, timbales, etc. Build a one acre set!
I'd like to see you re-wrapping the kit, in blue sparkle, and kinda upgrading it with "more proper" mount. Wrapping would cover the old holes and this would be sexy "concert tom" kit.
ready to hear where you get these deals! My craigslist is bone dry
My craigslist usually is full of over priced garbage, but I guess Ive been lucky these past few weeks! but Im gonna have to make a mid century modern drum set ;)
@@rdavidr mine does too fucking Jacksonville n.c. But thankfully for me I have a brand new drumset
I have an older yamaha that someone re-covered 22,13,15! I think you will dig the sound! Great buy dude!!
Congrats on 30k!!!!
man, this was the best kit pickup yet imo
I've been cleaning up an old set of pdp drums I got cheap off fb marketplace (I started on an alesis electronic kit, which was great, but I got tired of missed notes and the lack of dynamics). I love these beat up drums do much! I like the idea of bringing something back that would have ended up outdoors somewhere.
Again ..Maniac!!..cool ..totally get it, i have eight ..i went from a 24 kick to a 22 kick and now a 20 kick ..with shallow toms...I love it because I can get my toms down low.. the problem is, I dont even look at my 22 's and 24 's any more ...once you go 20 ..its hard to go back ,at least for me because my whole set up would have to go up ...the bigger my kicks get ,you drummers understand !! any way Congrats Dave on another kit ...enjoy!!!
I recently bought a vintage star drum kit before it was tama. Its sounds great! $45 at our local thrift store. Makes ya wonder where it came from!
I use a 20 in kick as well.. love it.. I'm ready to see what you do with these.
Blue sparkle stencil kit? Heck yeah! Nice!
MORE! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!! Let me live vicariously through you!
Second score. Impressive!
i am so damn jealous man . the wood on this shells is fucking awesome
aaaaaah, the heads are so neat
David,
I think this kit is actually an old stencil pearl kit from the 70s I say this because I have one just like it in a red sparkle with the same lugs. Keep up the cool videos man
i have that same kit don't play it any more but sill so cool to see a kit just like it
Make a shallow snare out of the bigger rack tom and have a matching 4 piece kit. It would look killer in the vintage sparkly blue.
good job finding a stencil kit. I picked up a "Norma"-badged stencil kit that was in mint condition for $150. I use it for a practice kit, and if my band does live acoustic gigs.
An old friend of mine bought himself a stencil kit from the late '60's. teal sparkle wrap, and had this cheesy low tech double tom mount. We never knew the brand, it had no badges! The snare stand was a recent and nice modern one, I don't remember the brand. But the snare was an old well kept Ludwig Supraphonic and the bass pedal was a Ludwig speed king! How cool is that! He paid a bit for it all , I don't remember how much, but it had a cool rounded bearing edge jazzy sound with coated heads on it. I used it once at band practice with him and it was fun. I told him the snare and pedal were super cool, but not too valuable, but desirable. I think he'd have rather had them be valuable.. lol.. he was a guitarist though.. pfft! I lost traded him my pedal for that Speed king!
Going back in time here, but $30 is great for all this! Bam!!
This is one sweet kit! Perhaps, you could just get it in the good shape and sell for how much you can get or it. I'd really want it not to be drilled, cut or anything else - it's just so nice as is, just needs taking care of, got that vintage vibe. Also, could you make a video comparison on the kits you have with same mics and tuning (same heads would also be nice)? Would be dope!
Great kit. I'm looking for a kit like this for small venues with very live rooms that need a heavily muted kit for definition in funk gigs. And stuff paying what people are asking for old USA made kits.
i would love a vintage yamaha kit!
+rdavidr please post more videos! man u are insane!
That finish looks like it's in good shape. I think you should try to buff it out using rubbing compound and a disc buffer, or something like that.
I just picked up a mid 60s Revere branded kit made by Pearl for $60. Exact same color. I'm in the process of restoring it now.
Cody Hanlon pearl?????where do u get that?is it from online or music store?you're lucky
If you like fancy finishes you can go to cost plus and get some gift wrap an use it for drums. I did it to my kit which is a white downbeat Ludwig.
Again????
Can't wait to see what you do with this one and the one from last week
That's a hell of a deal. That pedal alone is like $70 much less the complete vintage kit with it. If that was posted here in Austin they'd be asking something ridiculous like $700.
I like that blue sparkle
David, the tom mounts were from another kit. these are probably from the early 80's. The lugs are the same lugs Pearl used on their Japanese kits. The shells look like Philippine mahogany.
The Pearl factory actually made other drums under different names. Apollo, Maxwin, etc.
That's a sweet little kit. especially for the price.
Keep rockin!
ahh yes, thank you! I thought it was a yam, then I thought it was a rogers, but thanks for the info, I had no idea!
Old pearl Tom mounts. My first drumset was like this one but “gold” sparkle. 22,13,16. Good sounding kit. I would love to watch you fix it and record it. Btw, I still have my kit but I re finished it :(
Lol @ "it has all 3 legs!" And "you can see these were used on drywall." God damn, you're awesome.
Looks just like my first kit! Kinda wish I still had it..
I used to have that kit but mine was a green sparkle vintage goti it free from my old church all the same stuff was missing cracks in all the wraps took of wraps did a base coat then a hand hammered finish paint coat sand and gloss looked real nice when it was done which was about 20 years ago
So, I totally have Apollo 9x13, 10x14 rack toms and a 16x16 floor tom in blue sparkle. Lugs are different. Would LOVE to find a matching kick someday!
I found a blue sparkly snare drum at a flea market for $5. I fixed it up and painted it black. Works like new
I think you should try and build a sub-kick to use on your mic setup. It would be a cool project. You could use leftover hardware to make a fancy mount and stuff like that.
bruh, where do you find these deals?
+ramsey morgan video on that soon, I was actually in the process of making that video when I found these lol
+rdavidr Alright lol, thanks for the response bro!!
The mount is Yamaha (obv) but the hardware on those shells is like a Pearl clone, one of them Japanese stencil Maxwin kits or Asama or whatever. Sweet finish though, blue sparkle drums rule
I think you should leave it as a single head kit. They have an interesting sound to them. Nice score with the kit.
He should make a huge double bass kit out of these two!
Man $30 for that kit is better than some of the deals I've gotten, i almost bought a Tama Rockstar 4 piece shell pack for $74 at a thrift shop but i chose to hold off and i got new heads for my current kit which paid off because now it sounds better than I imagined. I got some Remo Pinstripe's for my 12,16 toms and then a 22in Fiber Skin reso kick and a brand new Tama (remo powerstroke) batter for $40. I wanted that Rockstar for the Wood drum hoops but i didn't really want to stop using my 80's Tama Swingstar cream colored 8x12 rack tom that i got for $25! Maybe I'll rewrap the black floor tom and bass drum but for the mean time I'm just playing music in the garage with my son. If anyone wants to hear original pop punk or 90's style emo you can look at my "band practice" Playlist, it's all instrumental and sometimes it's guitar (my son) and drums (me) or guitar (son), bass(me) and drums (my little brother)
I have that same kit. #nice
hey david have you done a video of redoing cymbals that have paint on them? I would really like to see hire that would be done because I have a couple and I have not a clue how to get them sounding decent
I quite like the g2. What don't you like about them, what heads would you suggest. I'm always up for trying something
You should try and make one of the floor toms you have into a snare/tom mix.
Is that a full bed cover for your Fit? I've jacked up the felt with my kit. That'd be super helpful.
Next week:
THE DRUMSET PROJECT
Can you make a video on how to take rust out of hardware?? love your videos david from Brasil !
Is there anything to be gained from painting/staining the inside of the shells? How much of a tonal difference? What about a snare with port holes like those OC ones.
Hi
This seems to be a Maxwin.
Looks like my first.
Yamaha is only mounted to pimp up.
Greetings

I've been thinking about buying a cheap kit and doing my own version of the C&C super flyer kits.
That's an impresive good looking drum set for 30$... don't put bottom heads! Use it as Darren King from Mute Math does... actually this kit looks alike a lot as one of his drums... and that no-bottom-head sound that he have...
+Fernando González he has*
make your own wood hoops....and make a vintage build. use the other kit to cut the shells and create wood hoops (similar to bass drum wood hoops). put be a good time to review Aquarian, Remo vintage heads. build a sub woofer bass drum to match.
*bam. there's 10 new videos. your welcome.
Nice!!!!! Lots of videos to make!😜😜😜
Where do you find these cheap drum sets?? You've really inspired me and I wanna start doing some of the stuff you do
Nice Whitehall kit! Mij special
goddamnit Dave!
I'm going to have to start looking for some drums in Craigslist.
Hey dude i think its an old Pearl Maxwin drum kit, that i think changed to the brand mapex? my drum tutor told me that a couple of years ago and i have a late 70s pearl drum kit has the exact same wood shells but a metallic blue wrap instead of the sparkly colour :)
Jason Watkins that's what I think it is too. Just brought one for £10 but in much worse condition but the fittings are exactly the same. Chrome snare isn't too bad though, still a bargain. These shells are maroon and are in super condition (best part of the kit luckily) it would have been a stunning looking kit in its day.
Looks like a kit Darren King would use!
Dude! You have to turn this Kit into an E-Drumset with meshheads and triggers! This Would be very cool
Film peel off is worth $30 alone. Deserves a video. ;)
Sick
I think that kit is a Reuther...actually I have 3 Reuther kits, they were made in the 60's and 70's...all the lugs, mounts, mufflers and even the wood looks exactly like my Reuther kits...if I am right, then you can use Pearl tension rods...they should fit...anyway, cool kit...I wouldn't mind having it...
Man I had the same question were do you find these deals? Please do a video on that!👍
What if you put them all together to make a $90 13 piece drum set? 3 kicks would be weird but maybe you could use one as a ghetto gong drum?
thst looks like a recent Rogers drumset, they were aquired by yamaha which explains the hardware.but the lugs like similar
+Bronson Gold yeah I was actually wondering that. I know the newer kits have teardrop shaped lugs, so I assumed it was an older yamaha
+rdavidr I think its an actual rogers, I just looked up some of their kits and they use the same lugs as the one I got. I seriously bought this kit 2 hrs ago and didnt really do any research haha
where do you find deals this great?
Does anyone know where to get a Tom mount and stand like what tre cool has
You should make a cocktail kit.
this is a maxwin set. quite rare these days in a decent condition
Impossible to find those deals here in Spain :(
good buy dude!
You can buy an uninhabited fishing village in Spain for super cheap if you wanted to for some reason.
Algo sale de vez en cuando...
This mite sound derpy, but ever thought about making a cocktail kit?
I bought a kit almost the exact same it's a Stewart 1960's I think same exact wrap and sizes and I got mine for 40 bucks
Make a bass gong out of the bass drum or have a 90's style kit
Any idea on the wood ? Looks like mahogany too me!
What sucks is that it already sounds better than my kit. Getting a Mapex 6-Piece Armory kit soon though, then I'll MAYBE outshine all the cheap kits you've made awesome.
Probably**** already sound better.
Duuude, what the heck, where do you find these things!!
Ps
Cymbal stand is original Maxwin by Pearl
