I really like the bare metal look on that LP229. It is my all time favorite cowbell and I'm seriously thinking about stripping off the paint on mine. The rusty look is cool also but for my taste it sounds too dull now. Thanks for that great experiment here & all the other informative videos on the channel 👍
Always love your videos, so informative, entertaining and well done. I love that snare and ride, and especially enjoy that you're playing more on your videos and cutting loose a bit. Excellent playing and rock solid groove. Thanks for sharing!
The best cowbell I ever had I got from my grandfather's old barn and it had actually been a cows bell... I didn't even remove the homemade but clanker...just taped it down and put the bell on a stand...great sound
I noticed a cowbell I bought when I was 16 has decreased by a pitch in the 8 years I owned it. Haven't found a way to set it up cause I only had a kick mount for it, I don't like mounting things on my bass drum anyways, and that interfered with my double bass technique. I try to set it up on cymbal rods every now and then, but haven't figured out a way I can set it up for crazy fills yet.
Definitely like the Rusty One. I usually have to put some rubber or foam or duck tape in or on the bell to achieve to dryness you got on the Rusty One.
I've done it for an m1 helmet I forget the mixture but its 16 ounces 70% hydrogen peroxide, 16 ounces of apple cider vinegar and mix it with a tablespoon of salt
In 2001 I went on a tour of the LP cowbell factory in New Jersey. To my surprise half of the factory made coffin liners and the other half made cowbells from the leftover scraps of the coffin liners.
I work in a steel mill and we make a bunch of different kinds of steel alloys. There is a big difference from one grade of steel to the next. They all react differently to corrosion.
4:40 really wish it was possible to get these pants in the merch store.......... you might be suprised as to how good they might do !!! Keep up with the amazing beats !!! Keeps me toe tapping !!! 🙂
Great video David. I liked the rusty version better. Hey I want to strip off the tribal finish on my snare drum. Can I use that brass wheel, or what would be best? I just want it bare metal like Alex Van Halen's snare plus I love the drum and hate the tribal pattern. Please advise.
My dad has been a blacksmith for 40 years. To get the brass finish the metal has to be heated to almost a full red, and just use a brass hand brush. No need for power tools. A handful.of swipes and it has a pretty rich coating.
Rust solution. Cooper sulfate (zep root killer) one jar. Battery acid. One QT 5-20 (start with 10 ratio)gallons water. (Adjust measurements to meet desired quantity) Dissolve copper sulfate in water and acid 24-48 hours. Instant rust/steel patina. Changing ratios and application temperature and lengths will dramatically change results but they will all instantly rust steel in a controlled manner. Start with wet steel and rinse of as soon as it does its thing. Like 1-5 seconds.
Next time try copper and steel patina acid for stained glass mixed with some water. Gives a great look can be clear coated if you want or left raw to change. Sick beats
Im curious, I've been using stock heads on my drums and they are starting to wear out. If i cut out the old heads and wrapped the heads in packing tape or any kind of tape, could that work on the drums??
You won't be able to get the tension necessary, and it'll sound like absolute trash. Just get new heads. You dont have to replace the reso heads unless you want to. Or what i did when I was a kid, I flipped my heads and beat through the stock reso heads since I didn't have money to replace them lol. Your drums will sound different, but Phil Collins didn't use reso heads, so its not the end of the world.
Sounds like someone was listening to ZZ Top and Frank Beard specifically the song "manic mechanic". Look it up if you don't know it you'll be surprised...
I was just chillin watching this video, but the jam at the end is fuckin great. The whole kit sounds great, and a really fun tune! Do you put up your jams for stock music anywhere?
As someone whos been wanting a bell like this to produce some Latin tracks(virtual cowbells are trash), but doesn't have the extra 50 bucks to buy one; this hurt a little.
Check out my Drum Set Maintenance course over on Drumeo!
www.drumeo.com/rdavidr
Which bell did you like the best?
Your video quality gets better and better! You should do a full studio tour. Cheers from another drummer !
I really liked the rusted and bare metal bell. Would put a little bit of tape on the inside to dampen it a bit
I am a drummer!i love your videos they are fun to watch and i learn a lot from them.keep blasting
Rusty. Do the brass more. Leave the rust compound on longer?
The rusty one, lower tones & looks that only a antique dealer would love! lol
now its a meinl byzance extra dry dark cowbell
Make a converting a bass drum to a snare drum video 😂😂
Hahaha
Yes.
Watch on Bang!Drums channel 20x6 snare video
At least you wouldnt need a snare stand?
Or convert a snare drum into a bass drum lol
I was expecting to hear a "dudes" in there somewhere....
Fortissimo cowbell!!
A true Harry Miree fan

Just wanted to say that your playing sounded especially super on this one. Loved that groove and the fills were very creative and well placed!
I like the rusted bell the best. I feel like the original is too pronounced (for my taste, anyway). The bare metal is my least favorite.
I like mine taped to death😂😂😂
I agree
IIRC the brush technique is trying to mash the two metals into a weak alloy, basically just cramming bronze grains in between the grains of the steel
“Not the Good Ugly” 🤣
Relatable
Never thought David would call me out like that smh
I think I know her sister.
From Cow-Bell to Wow-Bell!
As in Wow! That thing is rusty.
I actually prefer the sound of it after you "ruined" it!
Did you bought another 18 floor? For the silver kit?
😎
Well man, that was f*cking groovy. I enjoy how your drumming skills developed. I listened from the beginning till the end.
Your production quality has just skyrocketed! Stoked to see the channel grow, cheers!
This was one of my favorite videos of you playing! Tasty fills!
The sound of the rusty cowbell is by far my favorite; the muted woody sounds matches well with the drum heads/tuning
What's the track you played along to called? Super groovy
Loved that drum groove. Sounds alot like Tommy Guerrero. Good stuff man.
0:56 what is the name of the song?
Can you make a slaperoo percation ?
Next do the same for those shiny earthworks mics
Definitely gotta go with the "ruined" CB.....................one of your best grooves brother!!!!
I really like the bare metal look on that LP229. It is my all time favorite cowbell and I'm seriously thinking about stripping off the paint on mine. The rusty look is cool also but for my taste it sounds too dull now. Thanks for that great experiment here & all the other informative videos on the channel 👍

Great Sound!!!! Congratulations
the jam/track you made for this video is awesome!! super groovy!
The best cowbell I ever had I got from my grandfather's old barn and it had actually been a cows bell... I didn't even remove the homemade but clanker...just taped it down and put the bell on a stand...great sound
Needs more cowbell! lol. Sorry, I'll let myself out.
Damn, you beat me to the punch
Yes. Please leave.
The new voice-over style kinda reminds me of a sitcom or a comedy movie type of voice-over but it fits in so perfectly especially with the music!!!
So can you tape out a design on steel and use the rust juice to rust the metal around the tape like spray paint?
I have a build idea for you! Make a nesting drum kit! Where the shells sit inside of each other. Not like a suitcase set but like a Russian doll set
I wanna see this played on Timbales!
I noticed a cowbell I bought when I was 16 has decreased by a pitch in the 8 years I owned it. Haven't found a way to set it up cause I only had a kick mount for it, I don't like mounting things on my bass drum anyways, and that interfered with my double bass technique. I try to set it up on cymbal rods every now and then, but haven't figured out a way I can set it up for crazy fills yet.
0:09 is that a ludwig goldtone cowbell in there?
Awesome David. I loved the rusty cowbell.
Definitely like the Rusty One. I usually have to put some rubber or foam or duck tape in or on the bell to achieve to dryness you got on the Rusty One.
Did you do specific ratio for the Rust Juice? Or just whatever felt right?
I've done it for an m1 helmet I forget the mixture but its 16 ounces 70% hydrogen peroxide, 16 ounces of apple cider vinegar and mix it with a tablespoon of salt
Making it rusty really took a lot of the high end out of it. And i like that
David: puts music behind drum sample
Me: wait that's illegal.
In 2001 I went on a tour of the LP cowbell factory in New Jersey. To my surprise half of the factory made coffin liners and the other half made cowbells from the leftover scraps of the coffin liners.
I work in a steel mill and we make a bunch of different kinds of steel alloys. There is a big difference from one grade of steel to the next. They all react differently to corrosion.
I did that rust juice to a reproduction m1 helmet and it rusted it good
Is that a Pearl Music City Custom kit in the background at 8:41? Part of a future video, perhaps?
My new favorite thing in life is setting the playback speed to .5x and listening to inebriated David do his Thang.
Great performance! 🙌
4:40 really wish it was possible to get these pants in the merch store.......... you might be suprised as to how good they might do !!! Keep up with the amazing beats !!! Keeps me toe tapping !!! 🙂
Awesome job! Now I’m wondering what other items could be used and played the same way for a cool, loud effect sound besides a cowbell and woodblock 🤔
Did you add any type of clear coat to 'protect' the new finish from further corrosion?
I play the same Metallic White Imperialstars. Nice choice!
Looks and sounds awesome,great job.
I still want you to try solder flux
Try rectorseal C-flux will make it look cool af if you heated it then used a flux brush and flux
Ride cymbal name? @ 3:55
The paint stripper is giving me Ghostbusters II flashbacks.
Take a fine tip acetylene torch and try doing case hardening patterns on it. Also order up some Birchwood Casey cold blue and try that out.
can you please do a tom tuning tutorial. your toms always sound really good.
What about heating up the brass brush instead of the cowbell or both?
Great video David. I liked the rusty version better. Hey I want to strip off the tribal finish on my snare drum. Can I use that brass wheel, or what would be best? I just want it bare metal like Alex Van Halen's snare plus I love the drum and hate the tribal pattern. Please advise.
My dad has been a blacksmith for 40 years. To get the brass finish the metal has to be heated to almost a full red, and just use a brass hand brush. No need for power tools. A handful.of swipes and it has a pretty rich coating.
Nice! How about the playalong that U played?
I actually think the rusty, while a bit dead-er, sounds great and it looks awesome too! Tight jam, this video rocked.
Rust solution.
Cooper sulfate (zep root killer) one jar.
Battery acid. One QT
5-20 (start with 10 ratio)gallons water.
(Adjust measurements to meet desired quantity)
Dissolve copper sulfate in water and acid 24-48 hours. Instant rust/steel patina.
Changing ratios and application temperature and lengths will dramatically change results but they will all instantly rust steel in a controlled manner. Start with wet steel and rinse of as soon as it does its thing. Like 1-5 seconds.
Looks like blue koolaid. Will kill you if you drink it. I make a bunch to keep handy for rusting steel instantly.
I noticed those sneakychops. Mmmm chops.
You are the man Dave. My favourite youtuber atm 🤙
Hey David have you ever wondered making your own drum heads and all that stuff
Where did you get the things on your snare and ride?!?!
Next time try copper and steel patina acid for stained glass mixed with some water. Gives a great look can be clear coated if you want or left raw to change. Sick beats
what is the ride he uses? I couldn't find it on the sweet water page
The raw steel cowbell looks the best. I'd probably go with that visually - but I'd try some clearcoat to darken up the sound.
I like the fact that you didn’t clean your pants for the testing part, it keeps it real, and that’s why we all love ya david
as he was playing i was waiting for a must when playing a cowbell kick drum triplets
I Love your vids! I learned so much.
Your playing is really nice
Like it, and you're groove playing!!😊
That funk jam was nice, still waiting for you to go berserk and start wailing on it like the intro to G'n'R "Nighttrain"
When are you going sell some more kits?? I need an rdavidr original !
Hey man what's the track that start at 3:02? I like it, did u make it?
hey bro what brand and size is the cowbel??? i like the sound of it
What is that thing called that cleaned the cowbell
Keep up the good videos David
Please tell me what ride that is! I absolutely love it 😍
Im curious, I've been using stock heads on my drums and they are starting to wear out. If i cut out the old heads and wrapped the heads in packing tape or any kind of tape, could that work on the drums??
You won't be able to get the tension necessary, and it'll sound like absolute trash.
Just get new heads. You dont have to replace the reso heads unless you want to. Or what i did when I was a kid, I flipped my heads and beat through the stock reso heads since I didn't have money to replace them lol. Your drums will sound different, but Phil Collins didn't use reso heads, so its not the end of the world.
Always good content!
What cowbell is that? Like the brand and model name and such?
nice beat keep up the great work
Where are these backing tracks from???
Danggg tell me what did you do to get that recorded snare sound
Hey David what kind of ride is that?
Edit: In the beginning I mean.
Adam Ozzy I’m pretty sure that’s a meinl byzance sand ride. Hope this helps 👍
You can get that ride and some crashes and a pair of hihats from the Meinl Byzance Benny Greb Sand series
Do a video of how to dirty up cymbals
Sounds like someone was listening to ZZ Top and Frank Beard specifically the song "manic mechanic". Look it up if you don't know it you'll be surprised...
I know this is off topic but is a paiste 505 20" ride a good ride cymbal?
I was just chillin watching this video, but the jam at the end is fuckin great. The whole kit sounds great, and a really fun tune! Do you put up your jams for stock music anywhere?
David can I perhaps get a vid where u break down the beat in this or even just sheet music for it? I rlly would love to play it, I love Cowell beats
Finished the video already
You watch it at 1,000x speed? lol
rdavidr your videos are just too good
which model of LP is that?
Name of the background music ??
As someone whos been wanting a bell like this to produce some Latin tracks(virtual cowbells are trash), but doesn't have the extra 50 bucks to buy one; this hurt a little.
What cymbals you using
Bare metal was surprisingly my favorite. This was a cool project. LOVED THE TRACK
Tight groove man!
That kick sounds fucking amazing
He is that one kid that always played with the chemicals in science
Corrosion of Conformity cowbell! Sounds killa!🤩⚡🤘
Looking so cooler now. Vintage aged cowbell
