Don't mess. With the V.
Great video!
***** Noted. I am not worthy of the V lol
Stephen Taylor &
Stephen Taylor I just loled bro 😂
Stephen Taylor what about the Holy Board? Making my own, actually...
2 drummers....do a drum duo
One time I forgot my snare stand, so I inverted my throne and used that as the stand. Them a grabbed a chair to sit on.
Great idea, you made the best of that situation
This channel deserves to be bigger
No man this is like insider drummer shit
Yeah
True
Yep, and also his B E A R D
And now it is, big ups RdavidR!
I personally use guitar strings as cymbal rivets. They work pretty well.
6:44 a true drummer air drums even when he has a drum kit in front of him
yes thats me
TAKE THE 100 RIVETS OUT OF THE RIDE AND TEST THE CYMBAL WITH ALL THE HOLES IN IT
Yes...
Ethan Yoo this has to happen
I git a few free zildjian cymbals one with 50 holes in it not 100 though, somebody either drilled em or removed rivets and cut it to be 14", it has its own sound ive grown to love it
I know this is a year old already, but here's a tip for CHEAP cymbal sleeves you might be able to use in the future: Air hose. The small clear plastic stuff usually used for aquarium air lines works great, and it is dirt cheap. You can keep a foot of it in your stick bag or if you have hardware cases, and you cut it with a knife or scissors (usually have a utility knife in the tool kit for gigs). It is simple to cut to any size you need, and you can get larger diameters depending on your hardware. It lasts a good long time before it gets brittle or cut through by the cymbal edge plus it is quite soft on the cymbals themselves. You can get it any place that has a pet section like a WalMart or a pet store, some hardware stores sell it like Home Despot or Lowses, and I've even seen it the Dollar Store before. Usually no more than $2, but often less.
4:18 lol dude unbuttons the shirt and he has a sweater underneath hahaha:D cool channel, good drumming
I think that's his chest hair
Yeah man that's his chest hair..... XD
Koziolrh Removing dents form a drumhead
@@IchBinSirai Is this a r/Whooosh? The dude phrased it, like he meant it
I saw the homage piece of wood on the wall immediately and wondered to myself "has that always been there?"..... Then the V. Awesome.
I put dryer sheets in my bass drums so they don't smell musty in the basement. The heat gun trick works great for when a kid gets stabby and dimples the head. Drinking straws for cymbal sleeves don't last long but they'll work okay for the snare strap. Once used two quarters under the screw that clamps the bass pedal to the drum because the rim was too thin for the clamp.
I know this is an old video, but when I first started playing, I had need for new heads and no money. I took some round cookie sheets, put the heads on them and put them in the oven. That tightened them right up and they worked a while longer.
That beard is...is.....beautiful! 😂😂
An other option for floor tom-snare stand is to use a floor tom that is at least two inches bigger than the snare drum so that you can put the snare drum on top of the floor tom head. It creates a really awesome fat sound.
kabassa ring is kewl...Im a vet, and have my dog tags...remove the tags and drape the necklace over top...smaller diameter 'bbs"...works great! I like your idea too!
I did a little experiment on my old drumhead where back in the day I used drumsticks with colored tips and the drumhead was so dirty and I wanted to use that again. So I cleaned my drumhead with water mixed with baking soda and it worked.
You're funny! I also especially liked that Stephen chimed in about the V.
The testosterone is strong in this one!
I have used strips of the black liner in shoppung bag as emergency snare wire tape.
i don't really know why but those v neck references really got me...
i have had 3 cymbal companies all tell me the same thing. a tight cymbal is a reliable cymbal. having it tight on top with felt so its not flopping around prevents cracks in the middle at the bell. to tight causes cracks at the edge. a ride being nice and tight is a good thing with felt it shouldnt really dampen sound much. if anything help it be cleaner.
As for the hack around 3:45, if you ever need something to hold you snares on, take an old head, cut out a strip of it and use it just like the original snare holders. Better than shoelaces, and I'd trust my two-ply drum head better than a straw
Coin on the cymbal tip: don't tape both side down.
What a coincidence! I was thinking only yesterday about how I once made mallets out of a pair of broken sticks and cymbal felts, many years ago! :-))
Loving the thumbnail too
I noticed the wood in the background like 5 seconds before you pointed to it. I love the shoutout.
I was a drum tech for some years and I used the heat gun method all the time..great way to save on heads...also the mallet idea...plus don't forget never buy moon gels..go to the dollar store and buy merry Christmas or happy Easter gels etc....a dollar for a but load of them..ever notice there is a face in your cymbal..
mghc7 cool, I have another video where I talk about moon gel alternatives, but never heard of those christmas gels, Ill have to check them out. face in my cymbal though? where? haha
Definitely trying the heat gun on the drum heads, had never heard of that before. Nice video!
That was so funny when you said Enter the Straw
Dude. Totally ran into this video because I'm on an unnecessary youtube steak and the felt made mallets is an incredible idea. I can't believe I never thought of that. That's awesome
Dude, that heat gun trick is amazing.
Your videos are awesome man :) trying new things all the time and keeping it light with humour. good work :)
Great job man - keep it going!
That pen thingy is pretty nice, as well as the ending of this video.
Nearly spit my drink on my screen when you went for the deep V!!!
Great bits here. Love the V references too. Your vids are awesome and getting better. Good useful bits here!
tdrum21 thanks!
pen grip cymbal sleeve works well. I'm using it on my ride, and crash ride. and I also don't use felts on the cymbal tops. I think it let's the cymbals breathe better. and ironically I was already using the bottle cap for the cymbal. I love the tips. they help a lot. subscribed. keep the tips coming.
David: I watched a video with Small Faces Drummer Kenny Jones playing live, this would have been filmed around `1965 and on his Ride Cymbal instead of Rivets he had a "small" diameter light fixture pull chain, It was a longer chain hanging down on the cymbal from the post of his cymbal stand. It was the kind of light fixture chain that looks like small round beads but they are metal and if you have 2 separate chains they can click into each other to make one longer chain. , They sounded pretty good.
This channel is gold! I can't take it! Keep up the great vids!
And well you should like that fill!!! Smokin'.
Much better "rivetted ride cymbal" hack just hang any metal necklace/chain from the center post across the surface of the cymbal, i prefer using those round ball type chains that hold dog tags, but you can buy them cheap at any hardware store as a bulb light chain extension(same exact thing) just put a loop on one end, size it to fit, then hang that lil rascal on there, sounds better than rivets and is cheap, easy, and lightning fast to put on and off. ive even done it mid song for just the bridge.
We need a "So, yeah..." compilation 😂 Wait... Even better... An auto autotune song! Or both 😄
I aspire to have as much free time as you! Great work through your whole channel!
For anyone asking about the channel its Stephen Taylor who always has wood with holes in in his vids🤣🤣
6:59 when true drummers make videos. this happens.
Hahahahahaha enter the floor Tom!! Enter the straw!! Enter the coin!! Awesome I liked this video
so the floor Tom snare hack came in handy one day at a wgi event went I forgot my snare stand 4 hours away and I just thought oh I know what to do( also it works the best if you put the feet into the rim ) thanks for the hack you saved my skin also If you are wondering I am the set player for a PIA group called modulation z
Here's a drum hack idea, makeshift cymbal stands. I know a lot of drummers like me don't have the money to go buy 6 $70-$100 stands and I can't find much on UA-cam to make a good makeshift stand.
Chip Weber that would be a fun challenge, ill have to think about that
5:54, there's definitely a face in your chest
i love you, thanks for the tips!!
Hi rdavidr your drum hacks are simply sick
i have learnt so much from your videos and have implemented some of your hacks already ! I like to share some of my own hacks in appreciation to yours cheers
Alex Tseng scontent-sin1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/10995490_10153041575309151_7270112001511181384_n.jpg?oh=6eef791eb4b265750667505732309831&oe=56002844
Alex Tseng this one is using sandpaper that roughly approximates the feel of a snare batter head ; it kinda of works except for obvious flaws also not great for brush work
Should try the floor tom upright with the snare drum setting on the head. It does sound pretty cool!
Really good
You don't even need to wear a shirt because you chest hair is like a rug
I strip the shells poly u,stain or fabric my shells.nice vid.
I've tried heat guns on drum heads... and talked to a veteran drum builder about it..... hey says that it's not good for rejuvenating a whole head, since the tension won't be even anymore. BUT using a small focused heat source to take a ding out of a head is ok.
i use the cymbal mallet trick
Cool video, hairy chest, love it!
Cool, never heard of the other guy. thanks for sharing.
James Kling no problem!
Who is the other guy?
Timmy Fazini Stephen Taylor:)
If you tension the drumhead on a drum first the heat gun will work better by applying even tension instead of warping it
LOL I love the video but it sounds like you were harnessing your inner Hank Hill while explaining everything. But seriously rad video I totally subscribed.
Hahaha this is great!!!
Cool...I dont think about this hacks..
Thanks bro
my dude got a US postal bin in the back, that's a felony my dude
Tht chest hair
The cabasa ring or chain mutes the cymbal just as much if not more. If you want a rivet cymbal, drill it for a rivet (or however many you want.)
Lol that hint was enough. Especially since I had one of his videos up right then.
the vick firth practice tips work great for mallets
hey david I have a new hack I have yet seen done I came up with it myself. not sure if anyone else had a video of it but it's a bass drum dampening trick I have 2 versions of the technique. first one on my old kit I took double sided sticky tape (I know bad choice) stuck soft foam on sticky tape and then stick tape and foam inside of drum head bout half inch from edge all the way around the head.. second one 2x5 inch peace of thicker foam just 2 peaces one at top other at bottom duct taped to inside of both heads about an inch from edge of head
Hai david,i just made my custom snare drum from 13" tom..
but, snare wire won't stick to the snare side head propperly..it's hanging up a bit...
Any suggestion how to fix it? Thanks for your answer..
Hi rdavidr!
Just wondering, you said you don't use felts on your cymbals.
I've seen other drummers do this and just wondered why?
Awesome videos dude, really cool!
+tom matthews I started doing it because the wingnuts would rattle, and it also seemed to let the cymbals breathe a bit more. Definitely cool vids man!
Can you please explain in your next video how to mount a stick bag to the floor tom? Or what is the best way to mount such a bag. Greetings! Keep up the good work!
Luke Dymowski of course, ill make a quick one soon.
Man i love your channel! You come across as someone with a very „chill“ personality. Keep up the good work and i bet, next year when i check this comment, you‘ll have a million subs!
can u make a vid about a diy drum sleeve and felts..
Try it with head tight and really is best for toms!!!
3 years later you finally do a collaboration 🤣
I actually used the pen grip and it worked.
I have the same kick pedal!!! lol
On the floor tom test, was that the amen break?
Hey man i recently joined your channel, i dig it a lot, love the drum hacks, is something I do a lot too, just for fun why don't you expand a little on this and present sort of more creative drum hacks, like stacking cymbals or using pans, for example I use the "old drumhead" a lot for the the "deep snare sound". Some pleople even use "scrap metal" for different textures. I dont know, I think you can pull it off. Again, thanks for the hacks, I enjoy the editing too! :)
Michael Cortina no doubt, be sure to check some older videos. I have tons of diy videos and other hacks and tips
Definitly will check' em, greetings from Nicaragua, yes,... Nicaragua.
+rdavidr I saw your hack for the click sounding bass drum head thing I believe the invention was called click bass drum
hi, david, I can't get my lug (where the drum key goes) off the screws. it's on a practice pad and I can't see the bottom of the tension rod. I think it's stripped how do I fix it?
You forgot the most important thing when bringing old heads back to life. Dishsoap, a kitchen sponge, hot water and elbow grease. I do it all the time, my drums sound great longer this way :)
I have UK size 9 feet are they good for the floor tom snare hack?
Enter the straw i dont have one lmaoo
I feel like you'd have a super interesting take on crafting a cocktail drumset. Please?
Timothy Fitzpatrick Ive never really been interested in cocktail kits to be honest, the only thing Ive made that is somewhat relatable is a remote hihat stand. Though, if the opportunity presents itself, Ill definitely film it!
Honestly their not as fun to play as they are to make.
The heat gun may help in a pinch, but long term you'll only thin it and put a hole in it.
I made some mallet’s out of old jack in the box antennas. Took two drum sticks wooden tips & some painters tape wrapped it around put gorilla glue and wha la home made mallets 🤡 works great 👍
the straw!! it happened to me once on a gig, happily, just right between sets... so all I got was a dollar bill... i'll tag you on my instagram proof. still working!!
Yo I have the same key on the same lanyard. I drive a 2013 Fit, what do you drive?
Rivets work best (vibrate longest) as close as possible to the edge of the cymbal. Stainless steel rivets are louder than brass rivets. A single rivet is better than multiple rivets, as 2+ rivets shorten the vibration time and do not increase sizzle volume. Make the hole as wide as possible and the rivet wing thingies as narrow as possible (while not falling out of the hole) to maximize movement space and minimize dampening. A chain with many beads is worse than a chain with one bead, because the weight/mass of the many beads shortens the vibration time. A longer wired chain is better than a short wired chain in order to get the bead on the chain as close to the far edge of the cymbal as possible, but you do NOT want the wire/string to touch the cymbal. Rivets are far better than anything on a wire/string. Heavy objects are worse than light objects as they increase dampening. Drilling holes in cymbals is a pain. Plan on breaking bits.
How do you play the upside down tom? I like mine as it has a phat tone while wearing a double folded beach towel. The drum i mean
i use martigra necklace beads for a rivet sound
Great vid! I saw how you removed the dents FROM a drum head, but still waiting to see how removing dents can FORM a drum head ;^p
2:22 Our school just hangs paper clips off of the top of the stand.
Nice
coin on the cymbal must be taped loosely so the coin rattles. It's an old drummers trick from the 1940s.
That ride is ringy AF
Can you make a video on fixing warped cymbals?
Yeah an old phone protector screen has been holding my snares for years now
WOW! I never new removing dents FORMED A DRUM HEAD! I'm gonna remove them all right now
Your snare and floor tom is from a Premier Olympic drumset?
