Ayyyye this is killer! Looks great!
David!!! I figured this would find you at some point. I love your channel so much man! Thanks for the great videos, music, builds and of course thanks for stopping by. ❤️
This video was great. Rdavidr rooolz
Nice work bring this thing back from the dead. The toms sound killer.
Thanks! Much appreciated!
Excellent work my man! For someone who hasn't done this a lot, I think you did an incredible job. The kit sounds surprisingly good at the end as well with nice attention to detail with the tuning, so kudos for that.
I think a lot of the pain from restoring drum hardware comes from lack of experience- and trust me, we've all been there. If you try to scrub and mechanically remove rust, it can quickly become a mind-numbingly boring experience as you try fruitlessly to weasel your way into all the tiny nooks and crannies where rust normally accumulates. A nice tip is to use a vinegar, Dawn dish soap, Naval jelly, or CLR bath (there are literally 1000's of products that do the same thing, pick your poison) will take care of most of the rust, which leaves just you with just a clean and polish job afterwards.
I think the paint job definitely turned out good, at least it looks very nice from the camera. Did you seal the paint with a top coat like polyurethane or lacquer, or was it just paint? My wife and I once restored a shed drum set very similar to this back in 2013 and used some Rustoleum white enamel paint. I can't complain as it worked like a charm, but later I wished I would've put a few coats of poly on, because bare paint can quickly show scuff marks and scratches, should you ever need to throw this kit in the car for a gig.
I also think the cymbals ended up looking really good, and its weird how on the recording they actually didn't sound half-bad. Most drummers turn their noses up at those kinds of cheap pies, but they forget that post-production processing in the studio can do A LOT in situations like that. The matching hardware was also an added cherry on top of the pie.
I understand why you didn't touch the pedal... and I don't blame you for letting it be. But, if you ever do want to take a crack at fixing it, I have a video going through how I fix pedals from top to bottom here: ua-cam.com/video/FXVDDfplOLQ/v-deo.html
Thanks again for the concise, well cut, enjoyable video. Hope to see more of your material in the future!
NuDrums Hey thanks so much!!! Great channel and I’m gonna deep dive your vids soon! Thanks for the tips!!! A couple of those cheaply cymbals actually sound REAL good as far as trashy cymbals go!!!! Anyway man thanks again and Cheers!!!!
BTW-No clear coat yet tho I plan on it. I’d also like to take a stab at re-cutting the baring edges.
@@JobyP Hey man, like NuDrums said, good job with this. I'm also new to drum building and refurbishing. I'm just piggybacking on this quickly. Engine Degreaser(Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire, etc.) is a product I've had success with when it comes to removing gunk and rust that has started to pit, but as stated above, pick your own poison. I've also had a lot of success with your typical wipe-on varnish. Pretty easy to apply, but I suggest multiple coats with wide foam brushes (think 7-10 coats) to get that "depth look" in the end finish. Bearing edges are tough unless you have a table router that has the capability to take on you different sizes (basically the table itself needs to be wide enough to support the drums to get an even edge cut around the entire drum)
Great job on the drums also great drummer, so inspiring
Awesome job! Im rebuilding an old 60s/70s japanese kit, i kinda wished id some of that as its been fun, im a big RDavidR fan too, oh hey if you ever get bored with the white paint, its the perfect kit to that paint dip method where you put a bunch of paint on top of a large service of water then dip the drum shells into it, would be really cool
It’s still kicking it’s my drummers practice kit now as really I’m a guitarist! Thanks so much for watching and commenting it’s so appreciated cheers 🍻
So, I don’t need to spend $2k on a drum set.😃 that drummer is awesome!
No sir... Many of the old Japanese kits you find at garage sales are incredible sounding as long as they arent beat to death!!! and yes... Shawn's a MONSTER!!! Cheers!!!
Puresound straps are awesome! But you have tu use them the right way: the pin should go between the white sewing lines and all your problems will be gone! Liebe Grüsse
Benno Kaiser
I followed the manufactures instructions to a T! But I'll be the first to admit I'm not a drummer, I'm a guitarist. So I definately could have messed up. However I still say I just plain would never trust that pin... ever.... lol Cheers!!! Thanks for watching and your comment! It's appreciated!!!
@@JobyP I love those Straps, cause you can change the resohead by simply pulling the pins out. Not very cheap thou, I give you that. Liebe Grüsse
Benno
A good drummer can make two rocks sound good together. I got a nineteen sisxty six DeRey trap set that was my first set bought in Tokyo Jp for my sixteenth bithday.
I agree 100%!
Don't get me wrong. I'm adequate, not A good drummer.
SOUNDS FINE GOOD JOB
Thanks So Much for Watching and Commenting, it’s appreciated. Cheers 🍻
tip on the puresound straps: the pin goes between the wite lines and then it holds very securely. It is a little tight to get them in but I never lost one like you say and I use them on all of my three Snares, two of which I take on the road once a week. So definitly cant confirm that statement.
I’ll be the first guy to admit I’m not a drummer by design… so it DEFINITELY could have possibly been user error but I’ll Tell ya what… it didn’t matter where or how I put those pins it failed… I stand by what I said… if it’s that easy for a novice to mess up I think it’s best to be avoided. I’m happy they work for you and you like them and by no means am I saying you’re incorrect. Cheers thanks so much for watching and commenting it’s very much appreciated!
@@JobyP :D all good buddy, no hard feelings. I really enjoyed the video and your work. Kit looks amazing!
Looks great and sounds great especially with that great drummer. Well done!
Thanks Randy and Yeah man Shawn is a BEAST!!! This video is him just goofing off....
I've done a few kits in the past and I found WD40's rust remover in a one gallon can to work great for the initial rust removal from chrome hardware. Takes a lot of the elbow grease out of the equation. Just thought I'd share this.
Good tip! I’ll give it a rip next time for sure!
Wow! Thank you so much for giving me an idea for my cheap drum set I'm planning to restore it😃😊
Awesome! Thank YOU for watching and commenting. It is appreciated.
8:50 you've got the pins through the wrong hole. It goes between the white lines hole 👍🏻
Yes sir you’re 100% correct. I’m not a drummer (I’m a guitarist who sometimes plays drums for fun) so it was all new to me bud :) I wish UA-cam would let me annotate the video. That was a good feature they never should have got rid of cheers 🍻
I buy and use these they include the pins with most ps wire at no extra cost they work good if used corectly. And triggers dont mean this was a metal kit. All genres incorporate triggers😂
Thanks so much to Shawn for the demo at the end and of course to YOU for watching!
Great job man! I bought an old tama kit that was beat up pretty good,,re wrapped and converted to electronic it was a fun build and was inexpensive to to.
Sounds great and clear sound.
Thank you very much!
Hey, I know that drummer! Nice work on that restore!
Good drummer to know :) !
I love the fact you gave life to something that was clearly dead I don't like seen instruments written off there's nothing more sad to me anyway lol. Its actually sounds really good. My very first kit was a 1985ish premier metal kit and it sounds like that very big it has a boom to it and I love that kit I still have it. Dope video man!
Thanks so much Josh! I can't stand when somebody trashes out an instrument. I currently own a englehardt cello that a lady was gonna turn into a bookshelf... I bought it just so it wouldnt become a shelf. Cheers!!! Thanks for watching and commenting it's appreciated!
Great vid man, I'm in exactly the same boat, I do guitar repairs but I love drum stuff and I am also thinking of doing some drum repairs! Cool to see someone else thinking the same way!
I love it all my friend Cheers!!! Thanks for watching/commenting it is appreciated!
Great work!! I just bought a kit for $15 and will be doing something similar.
It’s a lot of work but fun and rewarding!!! Have Fun!!!
Youve got it sounding amazing. 👌
Thanks! I appreciate you watching and commmenting! 🍻 Cheers!
with the puresounds, you have the cotter pins in the wrong holes. you need to put the cotter pin in that thin bit that is outlined with white stitching. theyre fantastic straps when used properly.
As I said I'm no drummer but after the research I did I found literally dozens and dozens of complaints about them being terrible. I'm happy they work for you and maybe I did it wrong. I personally think it's a cool idea with very poor implementation and for me anyway... way too risky to trust not to fail in a live situation. Cheers tho man! Thanks so much for watching and commenting it's appreciated!!!
@@JobyP probably all of those people have the cotter pins in the wrong holes. try it my way and youll see. i have them on several snares and they work great. not one of them has ever fallen out.
I definitely will and Thanks for the tip dude! It's appreciated... that really frustrated me. I have a Pearl snare I'm going to restore at some point and I'll try again on that fo-sho! Cheers!
My friend had a CB 700 back in the early 90s and I went to record his band and thought, " this is going to sound horrible." Surprisingly, they sounded great!
The snare in particular being a ten lug is pretty good!
Dope video great playing at the end
Thanks! Yeah man Shawn's a boss!
They sound great for a CB, nice job
Yeah not too shabby.... i actually just retired them after getting my hands on a nicer kit but they ended up on several peoples recordings.
CB's are Pearl drums.
Cb's are Pearl drums! Made in their China drum factory (that is when they did make em). Research shows that they didn't pass inspection as a Pearl drum for whatever reason; out o round, bearing edge damage, so they were sold as cheap knockoffs as CB700's (still Pearl). Alot o company's back when did this. Slap a diff name on damaged goods & sell em cheap. Like the old drums with the name Star, not 100%, but pretty sure they came thru the Hoshino factory (Tama), research ur gear (esp older)if ur not sure who made it, ya might be surprised
@@Mike-oz5pp Not really, CB drums are drum shells made from about 30 drum manufactures for over the past 20 years. This CB drum set may be before that time, but Pearl owns and make Westbury drums as there entry kits
i'd keep it. start a new project with drummer guy. new ride cymbal tho. lol
I love watching your videos. What's up Shawn!
I love that you watch them!!! Always miss ya buddy!
Nice video Joby
cool!!!
i also hate rust... nice job 👍👍👍
Great buy for $10.
Still have them! $10 well spent!
Any links to where you got the crash cymbal?
Walmart.com .... Not Joking ....
@@JobyP And so my quest begins
458. I have 5 of these snare drums. Sound good, tough as nails.
It’s a GREAT snare!
@@JobyP i agree. I have a gretsch thats not as good as 1 of these.
THIS GUY IS FIRE
The Drummer? Yes... yes he is!
That's cool joby
Thanks Buddy!
Great video once again!
Thanks so much for watching!!!
That's awesome
for rusty chrome, WD-40 and steel wool. works wonders.
2nd time suggested. I’ll have to try for sure thank you!!!
My first Tama Swingstar kit had the snare in the condition at the 2:18 mark.
It was a fine specimen indeed lol 😂 it rocks now tho!!!
Wow, these were even more damaged than the two sets that I restored!
It’s a pain in the Nuggets!!! Cheers 🍻 Thanks for watching/commenting. It’s appreciated.
Someone can tell me a not expensive «skin» that could produce grave/bass tone on a cheap srumer? Thanks.
My advice would be NEVER skimp on heads. If you have to buy 1 new head every paycheck… do that. Quality heads can take the punishment, last longer and sound better. Cheap heads are well…. Cheap. Cheers man!
@@JobyP Thanks
pinstripe
