Sorry Camren, it’s from the 70s-90s, brush up on your Yamaha drum history.

@colenoah dang it, well the school bought it in 2001 I belive, whenever the middle school was built but I don't know for sure

still is a great bass drum though, surprised you remembered it

Okay Camren

Hi ​@colenoah

If you look for 28” bass drums on eBay, you could get lucky. I saw one for only $200 the other day, a WMP Ludwig. This Yamaha one isn’t mine, I’m borrowing it, but one day I might try to buy it. Old drums like this get beaten up pretty easy, so you gotta look out. The one in this video is no exception, it’s a mess! Thanks for checking out my video.

If you watch the first video, you’ll see the broken cymbal in it’s original form. It was 50+ years old, and it was in a band room, two ingredients that don’t mix well. Over the course of four years, it got utterly abused until it was unusable. It was already too far gone, so I decided to try to cut out the cracks for fun and it somehow kind of worked.

@ Is that a Too Far Gone reference??? I think it is.

@FatherBunting I’m afraid not lol, just a coincidence.

There are two bass drums I like to use, the 28” concert bass and my 15” converted marching snare. I have to agree, these big bass drums are so much fun to use, just a pain to carry, I nearly dropped it down the stairs! Thanks for checking it out, and I’m glad you enjoyed!

cool to see you in the comment section!

Thank you! I’m really glad you are enjoying my music! :) Wait, I just realized you’re the solo everyday guy, I love your work!

Thanks a lot ​@colenoah! You're too kind.

100% improvised, the music is for all state.

Thanks! I’ve been doing it for several years now, started with matched, but just found trad to be more comfortable.

I'm in a metal band and have always been a metal drummer and I use traditional grip. It just feels way more natural and I get may more control over the kit. Only downside is I gota put my wrist in a weird position for rim shots bc my snare is straight up (not on any angle). The snare has to be like that bc of the 2 kicks.

I cant play the drums without traditional grip, my technique just goes through the door. Only time I dont use it is if for some reason i decide I wana have a shot at Red Hot Chili Peppers song bc everything is a rimshot.

I know, I needed that. Bring it back to me tomorrow.

A drummer needs his drum key!!!! It should be carried with him at all times!

It is surprisingly nice, the holes make it quieter, so it hangs out with my light jazz trio type cymbals.

Yes, indeed! I’m fact, that’s you!

You can buy them from most grocery stores and then just scrape out the coconut. I’m glad you like the idea!

Man, I wish I had all those cymbals!

This is the repair, I’m just lazy and didn’t fully sand down the giant bite taken out of it, it shouldnt re-crack though, it’s smoothed enough for the time being at least.

It actually cracked originally because it was on the “right side” (the big holes came first.) Also it belonged to a middle school band program, so that would explain the cracking lol. I’m playing it like a swish cymbal, it’s perfectly fine to hit it flange up, as long as you’re careful like I am.

China cymbals can be hung both ways, in the jazz scene especially they use them round side up. Doesnt help with hard hitting though so you schould def change your playing intensity when doing that.

@@colenoah "careful like I am" *throws the stick at it*

@eggyvonn you got me there lol! I don’t throw drumsticks at cymbals unless they’re broken like this one. I take really good care of my cymbals, even this one when bringing it to recording sessions or gigs.

@ Half of my cymbals are from the 50s-70s, and in my entire history of drumming, not a single stick, head, or cymbal has broken.

That’s me!

Peak the Drum thing reference

Nothing wrong with it, 100% perfect.

Well yeah, I clearly know how it works, I just am not a “pianist”, I’m a drummer who can fake it well lol.

That’s the plan!

I’m glad you enjoyed! :)

Good question…
