It would be great if you would just get a normal drum kit for me to play David. I get it...you're beard is more manly. You don't have to rub it in by making me play wee drum sets all the time...
This video perfectly demonstrates why I feel that all the hype about "exotic" wood shells is bunk. Its good heads, good tuning, decent mics, a proper recording environment and strong playing that can make ANY kit sound great.
Agreed the only thing I have noticed with the higher end gear is you have more consistency from drum to drum regarding bearing edge and hardware is better, and due to that they will tune easier and more quickly as well as stay in tune longer.
100% I'm with you. I've used budget drum sets on many a gig and session...as have all of the session giants in Nashville. It's what you do with what you have.
I got a “First Act” kit for my son a few years back. Not one of those plastic ones, but similar to this kit. After watching some of your vids (like this one), I replaced the heads and symbols and it actually sounds pretty good now. Thanks for the ideas!
Didn’t Metallica do something kinda similar with the Justice album? Someone said they loosely taped a bunch of coins to the head to act kinda like a snare... not sure if it’s true, just heard it from a drummer somewhere
@@madaxe79 its not to be like a snare, its an old trick where you tape quarters to the batter head where the beaters hit, and it makes it sound clicky-er, sorta like a triggered kick sound but not really. vinny paul used this trick alot too i think
Stephen really brings out your fun side, I like it, you guys make a good video together, chemistry flows naturally. Well done. I'm heading over to Stephens channel to watch the other viddy. Peace!
Both of you have such different playing styles I love it. Stephen has such an energetic style, whereas Dave is a lot more groove-oriented, and a killer pocket player!
The fact that earthworks mics magnify the small imperfections in drums, and make good sounding drums sound so natural, but bad sounding drums awful, this video blows my mind! The drums sound so much better than expected!
Okay the metal section at the end is a VERY nice breath of fresh air - I could see a kit like this being really compelling for smaller studios or travel kits to minimize how much you have to move for gigs. If my wife (all towering four feet-nine inches of her) ever wants to learn how to play drums, I'm using this video as a blueprint. That kick was surprisingly meaty... all around a great video
kids drumsets are a great source of cheap drums. I've got one of those 14" kick drums set up as a rack tom on my kit and it sounds better than the 12" rack tom that came with the real kit
i dont know why but this is like the 4th time ive watched this. i love ur collabs with Stephen. if you do it again i would love to see u do this again with another kit.
Where were you guys when I got my kids drumset 20 years ago. I had plastic heads and one cymbal stand sticking out the bass drum lmao. I made a boom cymbal stand out of 2 broom sticks and I made a mini China out of the cymbal that came with the kit by stepping on the bell and turning it inside out 😂
I'm in the middle of cleaning and vinyl wrapping a kids kit too! It has a 14" kick so I had to find longer legs and I managed to 3d print a bass drum riser, waiting on a black hydraulic for the batter
The best duo ever Love you guys and your channels you guys are so underrated you have all of my respect and you are so creative! Don’t let anyone tell you what diy video you can’t make😂 Thank you so much for the inspiring content bro fist if you respond that would make my year 💯❤️
When you were picking out some cymbals...it made me think...yo, you have so many, maybe you could share JUST ONE! Listen man, if you read this, all I'm asking for is your trashiest cymbal. I'm in need of one, but just don't have the budget right now. I've got a 3 piece kit. Floor, snare, and hi-hat. Consider it, lemme know if you'd like to connect :)
Bass drum and floor Tom sound great! That little Mapex snare packs a punch too! The rack toms sounded a bit ‘plastic-y’ to me if that makes any sense, but as usual you’ve managed to make another cheap kit sound far better than it has any right to 🤣 excellent content and some really tasty playing from both of you!

China cymbal, or maybe just one of those kangs, like a splash version of a china.
Take the two small drums off of marching quads and slap em up front
add a pair of 6" pvc octobans of varying length...
A kid drummer?
@@potassiumchloride2542 We are kids at heart lol
i´ve waited my entire life to see these two play metal
your day has come!
Boom.
OMG Both of you answered😭😭😭
Best das of my life haha
Those beats were more punk than metal the last breakdown was more metal though
@@zacbass1636 punk beats are used VERY often in metal
It would be great if you would just get a normal drum kit for me to play David. I get it...you're beard is more manly. You don't have to rub it in by making me play wee drum sets all the time...
Hey Steve.
🤣
You played those drums like a red-headed stepchild.
😂😂😂😂

So DW's are way over priced?
Well yeah, if you're using mics and recording equipment. You can make buckets sound amazing
@@andys3035 Yes.
That snare is disgustingly crisp. I love it
And that kick drum had a good, solid thud.
I haven't even watched the video yet but I think it's a great video.
9:19 The bell of death gets me everytime
Lol
Nothin like waking up to a rdavidr vid
🤘
Same here, I live in Australia so it’s 6am when I’m watching this
Like the aggressiveness. Some Meshuggah on the kit would be hilarious. More cymbals please!!
both of you seemed to really have fun playing that metal part :D
Dam, leave it up to you and Stephen to make this kid drum set sound better than my lundwig. 😂😂 awesome video thanks for the laughs
Thanks Rick!
I got a “First Act” kit for my son a few years back. Not one of those plastic ones, but similar to this kit. After watching some of your vids (like this one), I replaced the heads and symbols and it actually sounds pretty good now. Thanks for the ideas!
For real though, the snare kills on that punk/metal riff.
9:35 bueno 👌🏼👌🏼
Awesome... Conducted with such enthusiasm!! Kids will be kids. It will keep you young. Very entertaining!!
Day 6 of asking Dave to turn a bass drum into a snare drum
That'd take a lot of snares...
Didn’t Metallica do something kinda similar with the Justice album? Someone said they loosely taped a bunch of coins to the head to act kinda like a snare... not sure if it’s true, just heard it from a drummer somewhere

Oh God plz
thats a great idea
Proof that some good heads, great mics, and talented drummers can make any kit sound great.
Stephen really brings out your fun side, I like it, you guys make a good video together, chemistry flows naturally. Well done. I'm heading over to Stephens channel to watch the other viddy. Peace!
Thanks Gary!
Best two drumming channels on RUclips! Love seeing the collaboration and the friendship guys! Keep up the good work!
You guys work so well together, you could have your own channel.
Hmmmm...
That was a great video. You work well together and are both funny. Love how the kids set sounds. Laughed the whole time.
When it comes to your collab vids, you and Stephen is my favorite. You two killin' it everytime.
Thanks!
My 4 year old daughter heard the words "barbie doll" and watched till the end. Now she's singing twinkle twinkle little star lol
Thats awesome! haha
Dave you have no idea how long I have waited for this day. I am eternally happy!!!
What great colab ... Thanks for the entertainment guys...
and yes I could use that snare today ...
Stay Safe 😷
Stay Sane 😀

Yo Steven plays a nice New Orleans groove
Thank you my friend. Miss living in that city
I picked that track since I knew he would kill it!
Cute couple! You guys should doing crafting more!
excellent guys !!! and very entertaining!!! hope you 2 do more of these ...you 2 are like Lewis & Martin!!!
Idk what's more entertaining: Drum faces or guitar faces...??
Peace.🐰💙🎸🎶✌
That was awesome guy's!!!!....and funny as hell!!! Thanks😂
Haha I thought do too
“Ring the like button” yeaa....
On the bright side, the snare and cymbals sounded good.
Man you guys did awesome on that kit. Looks super dope!
the friendship between these two is just magnificent
Never thought I’d see Dave play metal.
I love it when my two favorite RUclips drummers colab
That wrap on the drums is sick
Great video
sparkly pink barbie doll FTW.
kids drumsets are a great source of cheap drums. I've got one of those 14" kick drums set up as a rack tom on my kit and it sounds better than the 12" rack tom that came with the real kit
That "Smash the bell and ring the like button" moment made me laugh more than it probably should've 😂
I cannot stop watching this I would love to have this in my room
I got a Stephen Taylor ad while watching this
Fantastic. Absolutely marvelous
This may be the best drum duo ever😂
Double pedals on that beast! Do it! Loved the video. It sounded pretty dang good actually
We actually were considering it...
Absolutely had fun... You're awesome
Dude the mixing with that hardcore rock to the twinkle twinkle little star was amazing
Terrific job! The snare sounds shockingly good.
That's because it wasn't the one that came that kids drum set.
This video is so much fun I watched it twice. Thanks guys!
I would love if a drummer brought this kit in to my studio. Hell, I would prefer the Child’s Drumset over half the drummers sets I’ve seen in studio.
I love when you two get together!! Awesome Video!! I think that snare sounds incredible as a main snare !!
I love it when you two collaborate. Fun to watch.
i dont know why but this is like the 4th time ive watched this. i love ur collabs with Stephen. if you do it again i would love to see u do this again with another kit.
My son wants the same for Christmas!!
Your collaborations are the best!
Thanks!
Maybe you can try making a "Rope Tension Drumset". I think that would be an awesome concept. Real calf skin heads with rope tension.
9:19 That death bell.
Hehe
Loved the hardcore stuf at the end.
That kids drum set sounded amazing
A Christmas edition set with wrapping paper would be rad
nothin better than a couple of dads playin the drums
And just those cymbals are more expensive and better than my whole set
Two grown men playing w/ a kids toy. Awesome! The kit sounds sweet & those edits are lit.
So creative!! Keep up the good vids mate!💜
Legend has it..David had the same beard when he was an infant.
Lol, knee slapper!!!
Still better than my kit😂 how about a groove percussion rebuild?
wow that snare!
I liked a lot how you used the "baby songs" according to the kids drumset xD
Where were you guys when I got my kids drumset 20 years ago. I had plastic heads and one cymbal stand sticking out the bass drum lmao. I made a boom cymbal stand out of 2 broom sticks and I made a mini China out of the cymbal that came with the kit by stepping on the bell and turning it inside out 😂
The kit sounds really good 👌
one of these guys can play, and one is getting better and better as we watch. And he has a lotta power tools
I love smaller drum sizes, cymbals too, small heavy ones are my favourite. That kit would great for me
That snare drum abs floor Tom are godly!
It’s therapeutic watching these videos
Def prefer David’s playing style. This is the kind of content i subscribed for like 4 years ago. Sick
Could you do this to more kids drum kits? It could be like a series.
I'm in the middle of cleaning and vinyl wrapping a kids kit too! It has a 14" kick so I had to find longer legs and I managed to 3d print a bass drum riser, waiting on a black hydraulic for the batter
I need to get me a girl who looks at me the way Stephen looks at David
Your groove-metal chops would make any prog metal band proud, David!
5:10 Yeah those bubbles really came out a treat!1
Super easy! Barely an inconvenience!1
Great video dudes! and great sounding drumset!
New favorite metal band: Battle of the Beards
Y’all are approaching quality that mankind has never witnessed.
The best duo ever
Love you guys and your channels you guys are so underrated you have all of my respect and you are so creative! Don’t let anyone tell you what diy video you can’t make😂 Thank you so much for the inspiring content bro fist if you respond that would make my year 💯❤️
That floor tom sounded great!
I will always go out of my way to watch colab videos for you two.
Thanks!
The kiddie kit will live on!
This is awesome
I love how i can tell they enjoyed filming this
When you were picking out some cymbals...it made me think...yo, you have so many, maybe you could share JUST ONE! Listen man, if you read this, all I'm asking for is your trashiest cymbal. I'm in need of one, but just don't have the budget right now. I've got a 3 piece kit. Floor, snare, and hi-hat. Consider it, lemme know if you'd like to connect :)
That floor tom sounds amazing!
Finally we get to hear David play metal
man, that's exactly what i was hoping was going to happen when you said you'll see what the bell is for later on
I'm friggin salivating, you dudes was
KILLIN IT with the metal jam!
That sounds so sleeeeedge, man!
🤘🤩🤘
Bass drum and floor Tom sound great! That little Mapex snare packs a punch too! The rack toms sounded a bit ‘plastic-y’ to me if that makes any sense, but as usual you’ve managed to make another cheap kit sound far better than it has any right to 🤣 excellent content and some really tasty playing from both of you!
9:36 Someone’s been listening to GOJIRA lately
Good ear
L'Enfant Sauvage
By the end of that metal tune, the second tom was so detuned, there were visible wrinkles.😂 Cool video like always, guys!
on the metal track, the drums gives it a cool early 2000's sound I love it
Dave and Steve playing death metal on a (suprisingly good sounding) kids drum set, now I've seen it all.
