- Today we'll be testing out 5 drum hacks that I found on UA-cam. First, a way to make a soft bass drum beater out of a microphone windscreen. Then a simple way to make a DIY cymbal sizzle with an old drum head. Third, a clever way to make a drum pad sound more like an actual snare drum. Fourth, a trick to give your bass drum more attack by using a quarter. And last, a weird hack for cutting the ring out of a snare drum.

Testing Out 5 Drum Hacks That I Saw on UA-cam
What are some other drum hacks you would want to see tested?
The first one!
Ive heard of people, that put a Sandbag inside the Kickdrum für Dampening, because it adds Mass to the Shell.
I would love to see that
You could put some buckshot inside of a snare and see what that does. You may have done it already.
I just want to see you play more *METAL*
Honestly david those blast beats and double bass were pretty good. We need a cover sometime.
Dude, seeing my old videos is making me cringeeeeeeeeeee
Update: That was sick playing dude!! And I think my hack still holds up!!
ahhh the good ole days 😂
Ye Oldie Drum Beats Online
OMG I LOVE YOU DBO
David doing double bass?
it's almost as if he's operating at....a new level.....of confidence.....and power....
That's right!
Such power
New life in place of old life.
Pantera reference. Yea I get it at least
Lmao, that comment wins the internet for today!
6:23 Gonna appreciate EMC for actually going to Walmart. He definetly went to Walmart. Definetly.
and no guards were trying to chase him away. how does he get away with this!?
I never though I'd see this day! Dave laying out them blast beats!
And good ones too!
Pretty sure he mentioned once upon a time he was in a punk/hardcore band years ago. A lot of hardcore guys need to know how to blast
@@lukeabrahamsen-collins808 indeed, preety smooth if I do say so myself
@@schwarzerrogen930 that whould explain the amount of thrasher/vans stickers
I have requested that since the day I subscribed about 5 years ago.
THIS GUY JUST DID A BLAST BEAT
Time stamp for that?
Never mind I found
wheres the timestamp

Pro tip when ordering from Sweetwater...if you just order candy, theres a Neve mic pre hiding in the box!
I remember ordering a single set of guitar strings (coated at least, not cheapies) and they had included the candy TWICE -- once in the bottom of the box, and again on top of the strings, as if maybe the person doing the packing couldn't remember if they had already loaded the box and just threw in another rather than taking the time to poke around and check.
@@mal2ksc And then you got a phone call a few days later, right?
“Hey there: This is (so-and-so) from Sweetwater calling to see how you’re liking your new strings!”
@@beatfromjetsetradio8239 They could try, I've still got five of them on the guitar. The high E "only" lasted a bit over a year before I managed to break it. For a wall hanger or closet guitar that doesn't get handled much, but you still want it to work, I can highly recommend Elixir coated strings. You could easily have the same strings on there for ten, twenty years and have them not suck.
Been watching David for years and it has to be said, his actual drumming chops have come on leaps and bounds. He's always made great content, but it feels like in the past few months, his playing has become absolutely next level.
Seriously, there were some nice grooves in this one
Not gonna lie that rythm arround 5 minutes was the bomb
5:03 *Was sick*
They were all fire
Not only we have EMCproductions cameo but also double bass David?
I found my favourite drum video.
don't forget his blast beat too!
Can we please appreciate how David’s technique IS EVOLVING ( not saying he was trash bc he was already pretty good for a not-professional drummer )
Im suprised you even own a double bass pedal
same...
When I was playing metal I did the coin thing with the bass drum but I used a half dollar and the hard side of a DW beater. It was super clicky! The half dollar was stuck to a head protector pad that was made from Kevlar. I soon found that you have to put a protector on the head, then the coin, then another protector because if you don’t, the edges of the coin cut through the bass head pretty quick. I also found out that a half dollar is not as strong as you think. I noticed after 3 practices and 2 gigs that it was bending where the beater makes contact. Yes, I bent a half dollar into a 45 degree angle!
I don't think I've ever heard David play to a metal backing track until today! Not Bad!
I never thought I'd see double bass or metal on this channel. It was an awesome addition imo
That double bass and blast beat section deserves a like itself. 👌🏻
Anyone notice how freeeaakin good David's drumming has come along?! or am I the only one?? :D you're rockin dude! keep it up man
He is a great drummer
He’s really pretty good! I like his grooves for every insane occasion.
At first I thought the gaff on the head would defeat the purpose of the belt/no belt inside the shell. But on 2nd thought, it just proves that gaff tape is a much easier hack than putting a belt freaking INSIDE of the drum.
Never thought he'd play double bass. He has achieved a new level of powa!
that last hack is noticable on record, much better tighter sound with belt
david Cleary has been hitting the shed. love the low key whipping out the chops
Forgot about your channel. Just got recommended to me again, and I’m in love you helped me learn how to drum. Now I produce music. Much love
David's drumming somehow keeps getting tastier! 4:46 is such a cool feel
The quarter thing f--ed up my bass drum head. Stretched out a dent but sounded cool on the way there
The first hack is just using a fleece beater but in cursive
Haha yep
I laughed. Good one 👍
That ride though. Sounds amazing!
its pretty versatile too!
I was just about to sue you and then you jammed the double bass pedal. Respect!
I'm impressed at the sound you're getting out of that Ludwig Rocker snare. Sounds great for the money!
Seeing your progress and improvements as a drummer has been truly enjoyable. Keep rocking on bro
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Well done! Make a Part 2.
That double kick bit sounded great, don't be too humble. Cheers!
I love the sound that the foam inside the sock gives when the kick pedal hits the bass head. Nice, mellow and still audible.
8:16 Yooooo David comin in hot being one blasty boi
Dave making a drum hacks video? What a throwback, I love it
When Dave brought out the double bass pedal I knew shit was getting real and that blast kicks in and I thought the flight I was on was gunna crash cuz it freaked me out
That flam/late snare thing you played around 5:20 broke my brain for a minute.
Honestly my favorite thing to see, is just how the UA-cam/social media drummers are just collaborating so casually
I never realized how wide your knowledge of genres is, you sound great in all the different demos dude!
Please do a video making your own double bass pedal.
Lovely bit of drumming as well as the usual interesting ideas explored. Nice job.
The beat at 436 is so jarring like a beginner trying to play to any song succeeded by such an awesome ride hat combo.
I used to do the quarters thing.
That metal jam was awesome.
Your feel and chops are getting better all the time.
Dude, I'm absolutely in love with your drumming
I kind of liked the bass beater windscreen/sock hack for that sweet little bosa nova thing he had going on there. NIce.
That snare sounds amazing with the belt. Dang! Sweet!!!! Thanks bud! Your kick sounded good with that first hack too
Double kick didn’t surprise me as much as the attempted blast beat (love yr vids man)!
Duuuuuuuuuude! My duuuuude!
You is KILLIN IT on that Metal run!
And BLAST-BEATS?
Fkkkkkkkin YEAH! 🤘🤩🤘
I've been following your channel
for the past couple of years,
but lately you've been onto
some Next-level wave!
You're one helluva versatile drummer!
The sock hack is something I wish I had used for a cover I had done way back in November last year! Also, please do a part two video! These are awesome!
genuinely impressed by the walmart bag trick
I love my first edition special dry ride. Is a great addition to my a custom ping 22"
BRRRRRRRRRRO !
Your beats are SICK !!!!!
What a fantastic player you are. Keep up the great work 🤘🤘
Killin the double bass!!!
Loved that drum line!
Ive never geeked out as hard as i did when you busted out the blast beats!
holy shit man i love how you transitioned from the soft piano intro while putting the sock onto the foam and put it on the beater to the song. sick transition man.
I got SO f*ckin hyped when u brought out the double bass.
So it's been quite a while since seeing one of your videos. I don't remember you sounding so damn good! Well done, man.
Killed the Bossa Nova, my man! Sounded amazing!
Love the K Custom addition. My K custom 22 Dark Ride is my most complemented symbol. The price is up there, but the live sound is unreal
Fantastic drumming!
I'd never thought you'll play blast beats... Amazing video, it helped me a lot!
I've been playing K Sweets for so long, I forgot how much I also like the Special Dry. Time to get the crash back into the rotation 😁
4:48 THAT SOUNDS SO COOL HOLY WOW
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I know you’ve talked about bass drum muffling in the past, but maybe you could do one with side-by-side comparisons of different muffling hacks… Like filling the bass drum up with watered up newspaper work he’s been folded up paper towels inside the heads…just for “kicks”
Kickin it with that Lofi beat man!
The pocket on that second hack, Gawd.
That sizzle beat was amazing.
Hanging sand bags on top of floor tom legs is a hack I've heard of to reduce sustain but retain the tone that other dampening techniques can kill. Would love to see you try this!
some phat beats on the ring heads segment 👌
g'day dave! also the double bass surprised me! nice video as always man.
Man your playing during the cymbal sizzle segment was so tasty! Also loved you air drumming to Gabe's intro 😂
The belt hack seems to be cool!
That ride sound amazing
8:16 blast beats!
Since you sometimes play a double bass drum pedal try this hack. I have been doing this for years, but only have seen it one other time. Get a longer rod for your secondary bass drum pedal. This allows you to place the pedal to the outside of the high hat pedal. This keeps the high hat pedal in the primary position but you can still easily get to the double bass drum pedal. I guess it depends on how much you access the double bass pedal, but for me I get the best of both worlds. I get to play a double pedal when I want to, but also have my high hat in the traditional position.
Does that mean the 2nd pedal would be on the left of the hat stand rather than the right? Never considered this 🤔
i genuinely never thought id see you play a blast beat
Whoa dude! You leveled up your playing 5x! Great work!
Damn boss you absolutely killed the heavy metal section.
Why is it that Dave can literally play any genre of music
The god of Lo-fi playing blast beats. LOVE IT!
its all in those badass earthworks and a great tuning job! nice channel too!
BLAST BEATS!!!!!! I’m so happy
You guys truly get good natural tones. Furthermore, y'all've been sounding good for a good while.
With a belt groove :😉👍 I’ve come to that shuffle a few times .
I like that Eric filmed his video at Walmart.
This dude deserves more subscribers, I've learned a ton from him!
The belt inside the snare sounded pretty good, I could hear the difference. Now I want to go play my drums, thanks Dave. I can't think about any hacks I did to my drums, a Pearl kit with Zildjian cymbals. Hydraulic heads on the toms and a Kevlar snare head.
Thanks for the tips.
Dammmn that Double Bass part was sick!
I ordered an aa rock ride 21” in brilliant from sweetwater a month ago. I should be getting this in a week or two!
Don’t know why, but at 3:10 it really made me laugh 😂
Sick metal drumming!!
The Vinny Paul bass drum click can also be done with an old drumhead put over the bass drum batter heat batter to batter side and gaffer taped on. It has a more convincing sound to the ear without mics at least.
Wow Dave playing a double pedal?? Blast beats too?? Awesome
I didn't know you even had double bass chops like that, let alone could blast beat 😂🤘
Nice vid. The best alternative to the "quarter" thing are Danmar Metal Kick Plates. The are insane and wont destroy your head.
David is the king of elevator drumming too. Also a thick wool sock, if it stays in place. Thats double bass was good, very good DAniel son...
Here are 2 snare hacks: 1) put several layers of newspaper under the top head. The way the paper vibrates adds to the snare sound. 2) for a way less ringy snare......wood shell....
The v belt thing made no difference. How about putting a belt around the outside? Way better chance of the belt squeezing the shell to dampen the ring. Again great playing!
2:00 as a brazilian i am so proud to see he playing the Samba
