Hey Brother! Just completed the Drum Set. I agree that the tension bands around the tom drums were difficult, but once I got them figured out, the remaining ones weren't as bad. The model itself came together nicely, and i enjoyed the build. Not too difficult, but challenging enough to keep my skills sharp. As always, thanks for the video, and tips. I'm looking forward to my next one. Take care man. Talk to you after the next build!
As a drummer I thought I would start with this kit, but after the first 3 mins of the video I said "ummmm, no." A needle nose plier ain't gonna cut it! I have the guitar and bass too, so gonna start there. THANK YOU for the few seconds in the video where you said "ok, these parts are a real pain, take a deep breath and be patient because they get caught on everything ..." --- just watching you try and do it made me understand that I needed some practice. Thanks for the vid boss!! Great job
I just bought this kit an hour ago. Looking here to see what tools might be needed. Well i have needle nose and wire cutters at least. Idk if my stepson could have done the one i almost bought him for xmas. I might not be able to do this myself. I've never been good w models.
Dayum! I have had this kit for about 2 years and have been putting off assembling it. Now I'm regreting my purchase. What was I thinking? There's no way I'm gonna be able to do this! I'm too heavy handed! :( Koodose to you mate. Well done!
I understand. I am fairly heavy handed myself. A couple of years ago I would have likely smashed this drum set but I after practice after practice building others, I pulled it off. You could start with easier builds if you like. I have a playlist of easy builds.
Cutting these pieces out is the worst thing in the world. I have cutters but the whiles are too small for the cutters to even get in and cut! I’d need needle nose cutters just to get them out smh
Well it appears the trick is to post publicly that you can’t do it; then try again and you’ll get it secured first try:). Still open to hints for the next time. And thanks for the great videos. Your videos gave me the curiosity and courage to start this hobby with metals.
@@cindypogrund3081 It looks like you discovered an old trick of mine. Can't find something? Ask someone else where it is and suddenly you will find it! Seriously though, there isn't much of a trick other than to try to make sure the tabs are all straight and be persistent. It just a difficult part with flexible tabs that is just difficult to get. Having a set of precision tweezers might help, and steady hands, if possible.
@@animateorange I did figure out a "trick" that worked well for me as there are many part 26s in this build to practice on! I had been trying to attach it by putting the part on the top. When I flipped that and put part 26 on my finger and then turned the stand upside down I was able to easily get it on each time. Who knew!!
I assume you are refering to the 90 degree bends. Depending on the part and area, they can be tricky. Most times I use a pair of flat tweezers and hold it near the base of the bend and push it over. Other times I just push them over with my fingernail. Sometimes you run into a situation where there is little support elsewhere and pushing on the tab could warp everything. You might need to use pliers or tweezers to hold on the the part with the tab while bending it over. Sometimes the hard part is to bend the tab without bending over something else. It really depends on the situation.

nghia pham I can't give you the exact dimensions right now, I am out of town but when I get back I can measure. It's around 3 inches tall, give or take.
The build itself is very tedious and boring, I think the kit is too small. if it is 50% bigger, it will be more fun and easier to handle. But when I finished it, it looks good. You definitely need a base to go with it, I build mine out of a wood block.
@@animateorange I didn't build the one you built. By watching your video and downloading the instruction from metal earth, I can say this set at hobby lobby is only 50% or less similar to the original drum set. It is more difficult. take the tension bands for example, it has 6~7 tiny bands to wrap and fold into the little "things" around the band. It takes 4 pieces to make the legs of drum instead of 1~2. To be honest, I think it is too tiny to be so complicated. Metal earth should make it bigger and it could be an entry level iconx model.
I put the tension rings on the trim ring first, then installed them as one piece and it worked out very well for me.

Nice work!

Good job man keep it up
Thank you.
I was looking for videos about small metal drum kits... not what I had in mind :D
What a tedious pain in the f***ing ass! Where are Santa's elves when you need them?
COULD MAKE A SHOW THIS TUTORIAL WHERE HOW TO FOLD TABS CORRECTLY? THANK YOU
i have bought recently,how to beat the drum beat on it?
What's the finished size. Like how long is it and I'm curious to how high it is
It's pretty small. It's a bit over 3 inches wide and about 2 inches tall.
Bro,I’m already confused buy you explaining the ins
I love your vids, I just my first build of the White House, little over an hour
Thank you.

Any hints on how to get part 26 on. I saw you had some trouble but I’m way past a few minutes. Any tricks that may help?

Would you know what scale this is of an actually set of drums?
Unfortunately I do not and I would doubt it was perfectly to scale.
A QUESTION ... HOW TO FOLD POINTS TO REMAIN STATIONARY PARTS? THANK YOU

Very diffucult,
Rafaela Campos I was quite surprised myself.
But I'll try.. how knows? rsrs
@@rafaelacampos5151 conseguiu montar??

What are the dimensions of the fully assembled piece?
nghia pham I can't give you the exact dimensions right now, I am out of town but when I get back I can measure. It's around 3 inches tall, give or take.
Se me hizo más fácil aprender a tocar batería que armar esto😩🤣
I just finished mine today. This is the photo album: photos.app.goo.gl/Me6rZ8fyDzfvzdr58
