There is a vintage, 1958/59 or maybe they used the tags in the 60’s sparsely, Ludwig 3 piece drum set in your favorite color blue. And check out the hardware, Im leaning 58 ish looking at the bass drum holder for cymbal. It’s now, appeared today ,on shopgoodwill.com. If you can’t get there you can work with local shipping and enter your bid in the last 15 seconds. We want you to get it and do a segment on it.
Still waiting for you to set up a monster kit with all of your gear and drums one day. I know you have too many drums but you could probably make Bozzio's kit look small.
Thanks for the videos. Really enjoying them. I'm beginning to get back into drums and constantly brainstorm about modding stuff, so this is a great channel for me.
Hey, me too! I have over 4 years clean and sober, after fracturing my spine when I was in middle school wrestling, and was put on a combo of fentanyl, dilaudid, xanax and klonopin, all combined, as a child! Spent over 20 years on that cocktail through "pain management", 24/7, until 2016 when I had 2 grand mal seizures and 3 cardiac arrests. lol. Drums saved my life! Well, helped to save my life, and gain my legs/coordination back. It's nice to have your free will back, huh?! ;) Happy drumming, bro!
It's funny he mentions that. I had a snare made from an old ludwig vistalite tom. The builder cut the shell in half. So the top half is the concert tom/ timbaly. Lol. The bottom half is a custom made black shell, black lugs, black hoops snare.
My step dad and I figured out another way on how to put old cymbals to use by making them into rain chimes. by putting them on rods and and screws to tighten them up. You should try it. My mom and step dad also made one of my old snare drums into an overhead ceiling light. I do agree with you on that making old drum parts into new things is a good idea. It's recycling drum parts.
I remember when I made my own snare drum out of boredom. I found some plywood at home depot depot for cheap and built a drum out of that. I used a layering technique similar to some locks, where you cut each layer to the shape you want then attach them all together at the end. It didn't sound bad, it had a dry and airy sound so matter what I tried
Super cool video David, loved every part of it, also really appreciate the time and attention to detail you put into every video, amazing. Definitely need to try the more bass attack and snare cable from old skins. 😁🤘🏻
I used the alu ring of a drum head to use it as a ring to get another drumhead on a djembe. (Same size) just use the ropes to thighten the drumhead on the djembe.
Being good with your hands is one thing but having a creative and imaginative mind like you have is another. Made a clock out of an old crappy cymbal and my dog sitting on my lap behind the kit dropped his toy on the snare almost as if he said "here dude try that for them friken overtones " It worked
Amazing! And that workshop! Nice! I joke that I am the least handy person on the planet lol So I really appreciate the skills you have (not just as a drummer...which you're awesome at!) to be able to create these projects! Love it
Can you please check out the video on RUclips "THE 10 BEST DRUMMING SCENES MOVIES" And please let me know who makes that blue drum kit he is playing. I do not see a tag anywhere. I would appreciate it very much if you could. PLEASE
ive been a subscriber for a while.... seeing your channel grow, your professionalism and your grooves.... its been pretty amazing. Proud of ya, buddy! :^V
First time I've seen you set up two rack and two floor toms. Would love to see some of your tracks and you play them. Still, most of your work is so original and fresh, it's amazing man. Keep it up!
Hey brother, if it was me, 9b the clap stack you made, after redrilling the center holes i would have sanded down the high spots where all the wrinkles were in the center. Allowing the cymbols to lay flat on top of each other. But that's just me brother. PEACE
How would the sound be of a snare, tom, whatever... molded in a half moon 🌗like this, but only the bright side, (idk if you understood) but just cut the drum into that bright moon patern, and play that
Where can we find the 6 episodes of the drumeo series? Is it on their RUclips channel or on their site? Or spread across your and their channel (because this one is here...)?
David .......you've heard of the Evans J1 right? The etched head for brushes. Maybe you can take a random orbital sander to a head and DIY etch a head for us....... see if it works and at what grit is best
Anybody else here used to try to do what this guy does and repurpose drum hardware and other things and try to get creative with stuff only to end up ruining your equipment 🙋♂️🤦♂️
I was just wondering how often you change drumheads! I don’t know if it’s just me, but it dossen’t look like you change drumheads often? :) Love your videos man!
If could go back and give myself advice, when I first started drumming, I would definitely say this... DON'T skimp on high hats! Buy your favorite sounding hats even if you have to spend the bulk of your budget on them. Hats are the absolute workhorse of any kit. Especially beginners. Then probably a snare then ride cymbal. Honestly everything else is bonus an can be cobbled together down the road.
Honestly some cool stuff. I like the phat snare and patch for the kick. Also great beats man. Great sounding kit. Good style. Would mind using some of those beats. Cool stuff man.
I'd pull that snare closer to you and bring that tom in. You're reaching too far man. That snare with the cut reversed head sounded flippin' amazing! That's the best use for a toasted head I've ever seen hands down! I've been wondering how to get that phhaaattt dance-type sound, and that's it. I don't even have to retune! Dude, can I like... send you a beer or something?

There is a Ludwig Keystone with your name on it also.
Try spray painting the underside of a head to change the tone
Still waiting for you to set up a monster kit with all of your gear and drums one day. I know you have too many drums but you could probably make Bozzio's kit look small.
Even if he did, he wouldn't have enough mics to be able to get a good recording of it. Would still make a sick instagram post though😂
Would be like the guy in freaks n geeks
@@TheYeetusLord renting a pile of mics for the weekend could be an affordable solution!
I wonder how many drumkeys he’s lost in his beard..
how many drumsets
@@jezusmylord LOOOOOOOOOOOL
26. Exactly 26.
He could start a whole other channel on beardcare and it would blow up
Is that where all my drum keys went?
uses for old drum heads? youre not that old man : (
nice
Thanks for the videos. Really enjoying them. I'm beginning to get back into drums and constantly brainstorm about modding stuff, so this is a great channel for me.
Hell yeah! You came to the right place then haha
Same & same!!
Why do I suddenly have the urge to go dumpster diving behind my local music stores?
When did David get pearl session studio selects?
it belongs to the drumeo studio
I used to be all messed up on drugs. Now I'm all messed up on drums.
Good problem to have

Just as costly of a lifestyle 😂
Damn, I did it in reverse, used to spend all my time on money on drums, now, well you get it... ☹️
if you apply yourself maybe you could be all messed up on both?
lol... shade on Jared ;P
lol, all just fun
Hey Lance, when are you going to make more vids on how to make iced coffee? Thanks
@@beetlejews lol... shade on Lance ;P
"Talk about a bass drum porthole" really got me laughing 🤣 dunno why tho LOL
10:00 without Patch
Remo Falam Slam: Am I a joke to you?
😉
Wood working tools + Drums (the ones made of wood) = "I should cut my drums in half"
It's funny he mentions that. I had a snare made from an old ludwig vistalite tom. The builder cut the shell in half. So the top half is the concert tom/ timbaly. Lol. The bottom half is a custom made black shell, black lugs, black hoops snare.
4:59 THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE
Omg. I just went to the time stamp. It sounds the exact same. 😂😂
the Bill Nye of drums
DAVID THE DIY GUY!

My head just broke today thanks

I love your videos... and keep up the good work they help me improve as a drummer ;)
Super cool video David, loved every part of it, also really appreciate the time and attention to detail you put into every video, amazing. Definitely need to try the more bass attack and snare cable from old skins. 😁🤘🏻
rdavidr: origins
Your vids are really awesome and I learn so much from you. 🙂
"Jared only got fourth" 🔥🤣
I used the alu ring of a drum head to use it as a ring to get another drumhead on a djembe. (Same size) just use the ropes to thighten the drumhead on the djembe.
Soooo.... I just changed my drum heads a month ago so yeah good timing 👍
A friend of mine wanted to start making dream catchers with the metal rims off of old heads
That's the first time that I ever saw a jingle ring. I was going to say that you should market it but looks like you can already buy them.
Being good with your hands is one thing but having a creative and imaginative mind like you have is another. Made a clock out of an old crappy cymbal and my dog sitting on my lap behind the kit dropped his toy on the snare almost as if he said "here dude try that for them friken overtones "
It worked
When did u get the pearl session studio select? (btw I love ur videos)
11:11 All the average men out there: 😭😭
ACTUAL CONTENT IN THE TITLE BEGINS AT 5:50
Amazing! And that workshop! Nice! I joke that I am the least handy person on the planet lol So I really appreciate the skills you have (not just as a drummer...which you're awesome at!) to be able to create these projects! Love it
Dude, I hope you haven't sold those Starclassics, because they sound as good as any kit you've featured since.
Loven all your vids and creative enthusiasm 🤗
Bongo Dave - Good Happens / Love Shall Prevail

Can you please check out the video on RUclips
"THE 10 BEST DRUMMING SCENES MOVIES"
And please let me know who makes that blue drum kit he is playing. I do not see a tag anywhere. I would appreciate it very much if you could. PLEASE
Hey David, love your vids man, is there somewhere to hear more of the Beats/songs from your videos? Keep up the rad tips man 🤟 - from Melbourne, Aus
I have some on my Soundcloud and bandcamp, just look up Silent Dave
@@rdavidr awesome man. Cheers!
I'm not a Harry Potter fan but David is definitely the Hagrid of Drumming. :D
wow.show this drum in the background in more detail, please make a video showing this set in detail

Amazing bro!!! I think Big Fett Snare Drums gives you thumps down.. XD
I always cut out the old drum heads for dampeners
I have gotten better and work on cutting shapes out to make it look interesting.
When did you get the new kit? Excited to see avideo about it
when didnt I get a new kit haha
@@rdavidr hahaha that looks like a pearl session studio select kit, you're a tama guy right??
I remember, back in the 70s. Seeing a drummer removing dents in his Ambassador drum heads. With a cigarette held close to the head...😮
Anybody else here used to try to do what this guy does and repurpose drum hardware and other things and try to get creative with stuff only to end up ruining your equipment 🙋♂️🤦♂️
Brain immediately starts considering Jingle ring for the mic side of the kick drum head.
Let’s go!!!!! Another rdavidr video 🍀
enjoy your personality ,keep it up (i see your hacks are just what ive done long time ago but now its shared widely by u ...cool)
Wow i've thought of doing such things you are so creative sir 👍😁⭐✊
Ohhh Sh!+ !! coated heads as light diffusers, i thought i was the only one lol
“Without Patch” while there is clearly a Remo Falam Slam patch on the head already 🤨 wtf David?
You were fourteen or fifteen and in middle school? Dude...uh...at that age you should have been in high school.
we are not gonna talk about his axe collextion in the corner are we
David "Used to make things out of popsicle"
Me "make a snare out of popsicle sticks"
Do itttt
I played at a club called SINE a couple of years ago...you familiar with that place?
That kit though 🔥
The bit with the bowls on the toms was so chaotic and beautiful, holy shit.
The bass drum patch gives it that bloody annoying click
I just cut some old heads into rings and put them on my black dot tom heads. Pretty cool sound.
that O-Jing was a real missed opportunity for Joe Ring.
You've already posted some if these, post new ones please!
Being chosen the best right next to Gavin, now that sets the bar to a standard.
1:25 made me lol 😂 Great videos rdavidr
Hey man i think you should try to make some mastersound hi hats by like hammering on the edges of the bottom hi hat.
I'm sad you didn't cut the snare strap for +10 style points
I have a 16" tom head under my water heater to keep it off the damp cement floor! :)
Is that SM7B on the snares? Pros n cons, please. Thank's. 🤘
My Dude, that kick drum "attack patch" RUUUUULES!!! All of that Attack! \m/ :D \m/
I used the hack were you sand a coated head to use as a snare side head, And what did you know it works! Thanks!
Cool! What’s the sizes of the rack Tom and the floor Tom ?
I love your videos and i hope you become very fame😘🤣🤣🔥
Have any micing hacks? You might know the Glyn Johns technique he used for the Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, and more
That shop is not cheap...thats not pliers and flat tip claw hammer.
Paint and put under a potted plant to catch any water running out of the bottom of the pot.
best snare strap i ever had was a mickle dees straw...lasted like 10 years!
Dave you have a two up two down config🧐...??
WTF, now you play pearl drums ? got sponsored ?
Ngl my first drum kit was and still is a 1967 Ludwig
Yes loved it👏👏👏👏🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🥁🥁🥁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦😎😎
Try making a banjo out of a cheap drum kit 👀
Its quarantine ha plz make more vidz
I’ve been watching ur RUclips videos for awhile!! Enjoy everyone of them...... you have some great Ideas keep them coming!!🥁
In hbcu drumlines our snares are all that sounding
Cool now make one for electric drums
I thought you didn't play pearl stuff
I was just wondering how often you change drumheads! I don’t know if it’s just me, but it dossen’t look like you change drumheads often? :)
Love your videos man!
Ok...
Now it's official...
You are my favorite drum hacker reworker. Legos rock, dude.
sound designer of drums rdavidr😄
If could go back and give myself advice, when I first started drumming, I would definitely say this...

Made a corona shield out of a drumhead yet??
rdavidr should build a snare drum with dual snares
I have airbrushed a portrait of Reni ( drummer from the Stone Roses ) on one of my old heads . Looks cool
I really want a 10 in Tom can u make those to?
Jared only got 4th lmao
