The fact that this sounds better than my old drumset both amazes me and makes me sad The amount of people that don't realize that this is a joke amazes me 😂 My drums didn't sound worse than the ones in the video but they weren't too far off.
this is kind of a common misconception, limbs dont need a so called "mind of their own", they dont need to be seperately processed, because it is the relationship between the rhythms and types of sound that dictate what comes next, all you need is to be concentrated on those relationships and everything else comes automatically. not as easy as it sounds tho.
Everybody ask, who are the jazz and classical organists, with 10 fingers and 2 feet being operated independently. Nobody ask, how are the jazz and classical organists with 10 fingers and 2 feet operated independently
It's always the musician, not the equipment,!!!! A bungler will always sound like a bungler, even with very expensive equipment, and a MUSICIAN will always sound greateven with a cheap/budget instrument!
@This is 86 calling Control. Come in, Control... What do you mean? Every drummer can do that and the internet is full of videos where people use other things then a drumkit to make a beat.
His kit is pretty well put together. I once tried doing the same using empty quaker oat containers and coffee tins. My buddy made a milk carton ukulele and actually did a good job at tuning the rubber bands well enough to sound notes clearly. We spent the entire afternoon trying to put a song together with our homemade instruments, until finally (by accident) he discovered the correct notes for 'Down on the corner' by CCR and rehearsed the crap out of it until we felt ready enough to make an actual tape recording. Mind you we were 12 and 13 at the time and had aspirations of being rockstars when we got older, and though our dreams didn't take off that way we found a hell of a lot of amusement in playing instruments that we made out of discarded food containers.
And having that as a craft hobby to post innovative new content on RUclips could prob help kids younger than you guys were, get some self inspiration too... (Or another media forum_like a web page with tutorial vlogs)
That’s awesome some of my best days were spent with one of my friends messing around like that, one time me and a buddy each got a keyboard and recorded the most ridiculous techno which neither of us liked as a genre, and named our band autobahn in honor of the big Lebowski, we recorded 13 albums in 6 months and had two greatest hit albums, the best part was no one ever heard of us.
Yeah. That just changed my idea of my quick grab and go kit. Now I can just grab a spare kick drum head instead of my entire kick drum. Lol. I might actually try it
well, it's a good bass drum mic, those things do WONDERS for the sound. I've seen people mic up cheap $300 kits with stock heads and get solid sound out of them, even though they sound and feel terrible to play live haha.
@@YeOldeKamikaze that's true. I generally play in live settings. Right now my main kick drum for small gigs is a suitcase. No drum head or anything. Mic the back of it near the kick pedal and your good to go.
Yeah, we also go to Natural Kit Sound in Metal. You can listen to my small kit - where i wear a straw hat - if you want to. Only the Smartphone mic without any fx - Medium, open room
I wish setups like this were actually used more often in real life situations whether it be recording or live. They just give off such a unique, but still very good sound. It's like there is a whole category of drum sounds that are never used and we therefore miss out on just because it looks weird or "unprofessional". Who cares what it looks like! It's music and the only thing that should matter in music is what it sounds like, and I think it sounds pretty damn good!!
I agree! However as a gigging musician, another thing that matters is ease of portability unfortunately, which can limit really cool ideas like this on stage unless you have a large trailer, or are using it for the studio :)
Yeah that's true, I didn't think about that. It probably wouldn't be too big of a deal to set it up a time or two in the studio, but to have to set all that up every night for live performances would be quite a hassle. Not really doable unless it was a top band that had a huge crew to set it up and the equipment to haul it.
Oh yes, Jesse Case. Thanks. I was surprised by myself that it sounded that good and had so much pleasure and fun. Some people don´t get that i don´t want to compare with other drumsets. it can´t sound like a real drumset. BUT it sounds amazing by itself. and i think it´s also the fastest way to get a "kinda drum" thing build. that´s it. i would have been freaked out as i child if i knew that it is possible to easy build a kit while i was playing on washing powder drums with sausage cases, umbrella stuff and galvanized sheet metal. 😂😂
its already breaking down an moving an needing adjusted an hes barely playing it. n the nerve damage pain n numbness that comes from hitting metal objects that stay in place isnt fun. also nerve damage will occur from being in weird positions the body isn't designed to do. i bet you give any homeade kit ive played on or seen on here to a modern metal, rap, deathstep, or other "new" type music (like lets say lorna shores drummer) an they break it fast *an* go to the hospital to get their body checked
I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE!!!👍👍👍 This fellow has me building a set for the heck of it but I'm going to tie the skins to different sized buckets with the bottoms cut out as shells and the snare will be tied to a tin pie plate with small pebbles to create the "snare" sound. And the ideas just keep coming!!! This fellow is brilliant and may have broken some rules about what can sound good, but without using any traditional drum parts. And even the tone can be changed by using different materials and/or skins tied to the bucket shells. So many possibilities. Thank you good sir for showing us your simple, cheap and AWESOME idea for a drum kit!!!👍🙂💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
I think this just really proves that it doesn’t matter how expensive the equipment is, it’s the skill that matters! Hard practice will pay off in the long run
It is not about expensiveness. But about being good. Trust me. This drumset is simply good. Still. It is good for neighbors and a little room. It is not loud enough.
I was in an industrial band in the 80's, and we had two drummers. One had a normal drum set and a Simmons kit. The other drummer had a normal drum set but with the addition of a couple trash cans, trash can lids, all kinds of metal scrap, and he built this stand that had metal plumbing pipes of different lengths going down it. And everything was mic'd up so they could be run through his board of guitar pedals. That guy had a crazy setup.
I was looking for a stair base environment to dry up the boomy sound of my 52 telecaster, i saw your video and went directly to swim in the sea. Thanks for the tip
This is the old model, I hear the 2022 comes with additional gaffa tape on the rack toms, too. The sound is really decent and you have to bear in mind that the heads it came with have never been swapped for new ones apparently. Height adjustment though can be a little tricky with these kits so I recommend to invest the bucks which you saved in a very good drum throne.
This is some setup you'd see in a documentary about the worlds greatest drummer, who started out his dreams of drumming in a third world country, building his kit out of the trash pile next to his village.
I just sent that to the Nephew here in the Philippines, he is a keen Drummer and plays on old bits of metal, corrugated Iron, cardboard boxes etc. I am sure he will get some inspiration from this video. Thank you for sharing.
Couldn't hear any difference between the tom heads, but I'm amazed by how good the bass drum head sounded without a shell. I honestly expected it to sound like hitting a loose sheet of thick plastic, but it actually sounded like a bass drum.
it’s called the proximity effect. that’s why some studio kick drums do sound as a loose sheet of paper in real life but with super close miking they sound completely different in the recording. it’s almost the same sound as the one in the video but with a slight influence from the shell.
this proves that with amazing skill and talent, you can make anything into an instrument and make it sound entertaining. it would be great to hear this combined with other instruments.
for a few minutes or hours till the nerve damage from hitting solid metal an being in weird positions kicks in. also his tape is falling off an needing adjusted every 10 seconds it looks like.
Just goes to show how music is possible through any means. You don’t need expensive, specialty, factory-made equipment to make sounds. This reminds of the videos you see of people from less developed countries, who make drum kits out of anything any everything that’s handy around them. I see a lot of re-purposed oil drums, which I guess is good in the sense that they’re being recycled. It’s inspirational though, and shows that the only real limitation is your creativity. Well done! 👏 🤘 🥁
As someone who’s grandfather has owned a music store all my life, I’ve been so blessed to be able to get drum equipment for such a good price. I never empathize for the people who have such a desire to play drums and make it happen no matter the circumstances.
I remember learning about “psychological comfort.” In my opinion, this video supports the argument that fighting over drum shell material (i.e., maple vs. birch, or brass vs. steel, etc.), is in vain. The best sounding acoustic drum set I ever heard was a crappy Pearl Export from the ‘80’s, tuned to sheer perfection. Unreal. Thank you!
As a drummer I admire your sense of creativity and I get that you are using old heads.. As an accountant however: Remo heads aren’t cheap $15-25 each and that dryer probably costs 20 bucks, plus sticks $10, stoel $50, pedal is DW so maybe $80? And tambourine maybe $30. Total $250. With amortization I don’t see this kit lasting too long (or else costing you more gorilla tape 😂). And it has no resell value. So best to buy a second hand pearl kit with stoel, pedal and ZBT Zildjian set for about $400 🎉 ❤
Thanks Pierre Da Voodoo. To be honest i never thought that anybody ever would see my video, so i did not really long care about the title. Most of the great drummers, artists are unseen here, you know it's sad but true. I had "luck". Greets, J.
The one thing I know about percussionists is they started by banging on something else before getting their drum set. Listening to the acoustics of everything they tapped on and finding the sound to create the rhythm. I listened to a band in the Philippines and the drummer during his solo went around the bar and started drumming on any and everything imaginable to make it part of his solo. I was blown away at how good and creative he was. Rock on Dude!
Yeah William William. I also knocked and tipped and tapped on every survace so my friends kinda freaked out. this was many years before i got into drums. Thanks, J.
Remember that this is the sound *through* the mics, and production process. As a sound engineer, I can tell you that you can make *anything* sound amazing in a studio, even the cheapest guitar imaginable (as long as it can hold tuning for a song), but especially percussion instruments. If anything, this demonstrate this phenomenon. I'm not saying it's gonna sound like shit in real life... but it's gonna sounds... very disapointing if this is what you think you gonna get with naked ears, cuz it ain't. But hey, it's very ingenuous, fun, and it could have it's applications in very specific songs! :)
True in the 80's , best for the drums in the studio to sound like cardboard boxes and let the engineer do the rest. Saves on recording time and arguing.
This is great, I tried to show some of my students how to make drum sets out of junk, I think I taped a makeshift beater to my foot with tape once, it worked great! Very good ideas here, good imagination!!
When I was 11 before I had an actual drum set, I always put about 3 or 4 trash cans together and jammed on those for a year or so. They actually didn’t sound that bad. My cymbal was an old charcoal grill. It worked.
When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a drum set for me accept some VERY Cheap Paper head kit(which lasted about 2 minutes)- yes, paper heads! I used a Dan-Dee Potato Chip can with a spring stretched across the bottom for my snare, and the lid for my closed Hi-Hat, a small plastic garbage can with the leftover foot pedal from the old 'paper-head' drum set for the kick, cardboard boxes for Tom-toms and a large carboard tube like All Detergent container for the floor tom. It sounded way better than this set.
Real musicians can make music out of anything, we find a way. This dude... And it sounds awesome with headphones on. If recorded in studio would have a clean dry sound. Creative & affordable. 👍
Too cool. My first drum set was 4 - 1 gallon ice cream buckets. My snare drum had marbles in it and I had different amounts of clothing for the Toms,and I had a metal globe for my cymbal.
This is for when children say I saw a drummer on TV and I want to be a drummer dad the best drummer in the world!!! But last week you wanted to be a zoo keeper, No! I really want to be a drummer now, well we'll try this and see how you go.
@@juergenkulmermusic hello yes :) from years gone by! I still have many many more recent songs and still make music but I don't upload so much anymore, I keep meaning to but its difficult working 70-80 hours a week, but thank you for noticing and glad you liked my comment! Haha.
Reminds me of the first drum kit I made before I bought very first drum kit. I made the hi-hats out of wired coat hangers bunched together by their hooks and looped it into the handle of an old dining chair! The snare was a phone book placed on my lap and the tom was the back of said dining room chair!
My first drum set was : two tuppeware,and an old bird cage . After that , big painting pots , . Played on genesis songs. First real drum set ,i was already prepared.;) bravo man .from France
I once had a cheaper kit. Partially made from my daughter's kiddie drums that she didn't use anymore. Kick pedal was a piece of scrap wood attached to a spring and it would strike a book. Kept the passion alive until I got another real kit. Years later, I'm now in one of the busiest bands in town!
@@sharethefootage1088 pull the other leg....its a saying "pull someones leg" means telling pork pies (lies) i don't believe you practicing on a kiddies kit, now ur in band...do you even know how to drum you nong?
When I was 13, my “kit” was basically my knees and my bed, as my parents weren’t supportive of music or art. I beat the living hell out of my legs. I even made my own drumsticks on the lathe in wood shop because I couldn’t buy real ones. Just some drumheads set up like this would have been like a dream for me back then. I was 18 when I finally bought my first real set, this old Raven kit.
Dedication. Whether it’s beating the living shit out of an old Yamaha kiddie acoustic or pot lids and a text books on the edge of your bed as a kit. Builds character and appreciation for real! 😂
Had to watch it again!!!👍 You could use different sized buckets for the shells to give it more tone. This is a great idea that could be made into something truly amazing. To keep the skins on the buckets, you could use the old tie them on with string to the buckets. And even use a small bucket with beans or something that could rattle to make a snare-like drum as well. Many possibilities, so thank you for one of the best ideas I've ever seen!!!👍👍👍💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
Good call with the small bucket-0-beans for a "snare drum" sound. I can TOTALLY hear that. The first violin I bought for my then classical playing daughter, had been formerly used by a bluegrass fiddler and had a rattlesnake rattle wedged thru the F holes for a purcussive effect. It was old and beatup, needing some restoration, so THAT was the first thing to go. Although 10 years later, she became a Cape Breton fiddler.
@@genewilliams617 That's awesome!!!👍 It always makes me excited to hear that a younger person has taken interest in one instrument or another, so good for her. I'm sure you're very proud.👍🙂 That snakeskin violin (I think you mentioned something about snakeskin.lol) sounds like something you might want to keep. They don't make them like that anymore, unless you have one custom made, which would cost a small fortune. Great to hear that there is another young, up and comer. Best of luck to all of you!!!🙂👍🙏🙏🙏
@@genewilliams617 I've seen people make the snare from shoe laces, taping a tambourine to the bottom (which sounded quite amazing), laying several small chains together across the top skin and a few others that I can't think of right now. It's amazing what you can do and with what, especially in a pinch.😳🙂👍🙏🙏🙏
Your drumming skills are insane. I can't play drums, but as a guitarist I always say a good guitarist can make any guitar sound amazing regardless of quality/price etc. Well done with the drum kit, pretty genius tbh.
May I suggest incorporating an aluminum baking tray? 30 years ago I used one as a snare for my makeshift kit. My inner 16 year old, is hella impressed by this kit...absolute genius🔥🔥🔥✌🏽✌🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This brings back memories! I definitely did this when I was a kid. To make the snair I stretched pieces of wire going across the bottom of the skin on an old Tom, it sounded pretty good actually.
Cool! Ich durfte mal erleben, wie aus Gartenschläuchen und Haushaltstrichtern zusammengebaute Instrumente klangen... Der Klang war mit echten Blechblasinstrumenten mehr als vergleichbar! Ich liebe übrigens das Wort "Wäscheständerschlagzeug", gefühlt 99% aller Deutsch sprechenden hätten da wieder ein Leerzeichen gesetzt, wo keins hingehört... ;-)
Herzlichen Dank, Konfusius! Unlängst hab ich mal wieder in der Tischlerwerkstatt eines Freundes in einen Absaugschlauch die österreichische Bundeshymne zu spielen probiert - das kann ich aber unmöglich in´s Netz stellen. ;-) Aufgrund der Länge des Schlauches hatte es etwas von einem Alphorn weshalb auch intuitiv das besagte Stück zu erklingen hatte in diesem Moment.
I used a bunk bed (top Frame as cymbals), couch pillow as rack tom, and bed as the Snare for years until a guitarist sold me his CB700 for $90 in 1993 👍
Well this is a throwback to my youth when fellow drummers used to complain about the drumset the school had. It looked wrecked and wasn't the newest one. But it sounded awesome if you knew how to play - for the teachers it was an ideal drumset to see who was skilled and who wasn't.
First thing that must be said about the engineering is... It's gorilla tape Second thing to say is... What the hell else do you do with grandma's old stocking dry rack?
If you microphone it well and use some sound editing in post this can be made to sound very very good. Even if you only use piezoelectric mics, they can be used to trigger some samples from a proper kit recorded in a full fledged recording studio. I like the ingenuity. Keep it up.
Muito obrigado, thank you from the bottom of my heart, muchas gracias, merci, mile grazie and so on, for all these comments! funny, lovely, honest, heartfelt and sometimes stupid. Remember to have fun in life and take care of each other. I can´t read all these comments now, because i love to practice drums and make music, more than reading. but i will have read every single one one day. big hug!
This reminds me of that video where a guy wanted to find out exactly what gives a guitar it's tone. So he starts altering and removing parts until he's left with strings suspended in tension and pickups suspended under the strings and it still sounds awesome. I mean, this isn't the same, but it's cool nonetheless.
Drumming is so freaking cool how you can do all this seen so many different types of these videos but it's still cool how people can create such sounds that can create such emotional feelings for people. Even on just a piece of plastic the basic fundamentals still apply. Got to love music. Cool idea.
Dear R Martin, i was just jammin´ and i didn´t like the part where i played a boring beat over 10sec. And it´s ok to f*ck up when playing music. It´s human.
😨Yeah... Now grandma will impress the neighbors after hanging stockings to dry, and mess up all that yard work networking we did, by becoming much more popular!!
The drums themselves cost less than a meal out, but the mics alone cost more than my whole drumset. Plus, a nice kick pedal. This isn’t exactly an example of “poor person can’t afford kit but they love to play so much that they make do” and more of a “person tries to see if he could make a drumset with only drumheads”

Drummers got to be one of the most unique musicians in the world. Each limb has a mind of it’s own.
Heck they've got a limb they NAMED a drumstick! It's been around awhile lol
I have a single member with a mind of it's own.
Hey man, unique means there's only one of them. So you can't have "one of the most unique". I hope you don't mind me letting you know. It's all love!

Wood doesn't matter as we know, can be acrylic or whatever. It's how you play and where not equipment.
Just set the mics correctly and it will be ok. Overheads and rooms play bigger role in overall drum sound than close mics.
Boost the low end on overheads and so on.
And breathing rooms give breathing sound, so natural ambience is a good thing.

This one sounds good. It cannot be Lars'
XD 😂😂😂
Savage.
I wish he had this kit for St. Anger
🤣🤣🤣
this proves that with amazing skill and talent, you can make anything into an instrument and make it sound entertaining. it would be great to hear this combined with other instruments.
i am looking forward to.
for a few minutes or hours till the nerve damage from hitting solid metal an being in weird positions kicks in. also his tape is falling off an needing adjusted every 10 seconds it looks like.
Just goes to show how music is possible through any means. You don’t need expensive, specialty, factory-made equipment to make sounds.
This reminds of the videos you see of people from less developed countries, who make drum kits out of anything any everything that’s handy around them.
I see a lot of re-purposed oil drums, which I guess is good in the sense that they’re being recycled. It’s inspirational though, and shows that the only real limitation is your creativity.
Well done! 👏 🤘 🥁
As someone who’s grandfather has owned a music store all my life, I’ve been so blessed to be able to get drum equipment for such a good price. I never empathize for the people who have such a desire to play drums and make it happen no matter the circumstances.
Yeah but this guy isn't one of those people he actually has a drumset this is just him having fun
@@benblackburn2693 I never said he was, just pointing it out in general. It was a good example

I remember learning about “psychological comfort.”
In my opinion, this video supports the argument that fighting over drum shell material (i.e., maple vs. birch, or brass vs. steel, etc.), is in vain.
The best sounding acoustic drum set I ever heard was a crappy Pearl Export from the ‘80’s, tuned to sheer perfection. Unreal.
Thank you!

I played and still own one of those. Anyone that can get a good sound is a master tuner.
@@ShawnJonesHellion don’t threaten me with a good time
Indeed!!!! Good heads, tuned well, and then played by someone who cares, can make ANY kit sing.
As a drummer I admire your sense of creativity and I get that you are using old heads.. As an accountant however: Remo heads aren’t cheap $15-25 each and that dryer probably costs 20 bucks, plus sticks $10, stoel $50, pedal is DW so maybe $80? And tambourine maybe $30. Total $250. With amortization I don’t see this kit lasting too long (or else costing you more gorilla tape 😂). And it has no resell value. So best to buy a second hand pearl kit with stoel, pedal and ZBT Zildjian set for about $400 🎉 ❤
Thanks Pierre Da Voodoo. To be honest i never thought that anybody ever would see my video, so i did not really long care about the title. Most of the great drummers, artists are unseen here, you know it's sad but true. I had "luck". Greets, J.
I heard money being laundered but a drum set…that is epic. 0:12 seconds it sounded like a Metallica song. The song escapes me. Anybody know?
Probably something from St Anger.
@SilvleFree lol definitely
The one thing I know about percussionists is they started by banging on something else before getting their drum set. Listening to the acoustics of everything they tapped on and finding the sound to create the rhythm.
I listened to a band in the Philippines and the drummer during his solo went around the bar and started drumming on any and everything imaginable to make it part of his solo. I was blown away at how good and creative he was.
Rock on Dude!
what band was this
Me too, pillows and boxes
Yeah William William. I also knocked and tipped and tapped on every survace so my friends kinda freaked out. this was many years before i got into drums. Thanks, J.
Remember that this is the sound *through* the mics, and production process. As a sound engineer, I can tell you that you can make *anything* sound amazing in a studio, even the cheapest guitar imaginable (as long as it can hold tuning for a song), but especially percussion instruments. If anything, this demonstrate this phenomenon. I'm not saying it's gonna sound like shit in real life... but it's gonna sounds... very disapointing if this is what you think you gonna get with naked ears, cuz it ain't. But hey, it's very ingenuous, fun, and it could have it's applications in very specific songs! :)
True in the 80's , best for the drums in the studio to sound like cardboard boxes and let the engineer do the rest. Saves on recording time and arguing.
A sound engineer also told me: Shit in, Shit out
this would be a funnier video if they sample replaced with 808 sounds
Got that AKG D118 doing the heavy lifting there. I love that mic on a kick drum!
Looks like only 1 mic though, on the kick, and the kick is what sounds the best tbf
You had the perfect opportunity to Rick roll all of us. Those tom heads taped to a drying rack sound exactly like the opening drum fill for that song.
I love the fact that there's a DW set in the background and this looks like more fun to play.
Anything to sell the kids in the house on chores is worth the love...
He is using a DW pedal for the bass drum.
This is great, I tried to show some of my students how to make drum sets out of junk, I think I taped a makeshift beater to my foot with tape once, it worked great! Very good ideas here, good imagination!!
Dear William Bradford Baldwin thank you. My first beater was the stick from the Competition Pro (Joystick, Amiga)
If you’re a good drummer, like this gentleman, any drum you rig will sound amazing. 😜
Wow, Joe Gallardo - thanks! :-)
Like we say: It’s not the car, it’s the driver
@@el_t4931 haha, exactly.

Unless this is an add for Remo skins ;)
Mój trener zawsze mawiał, że "dobry zawodnik to i na drzwiach od hangaru popłynie" tutaj mamy dowód na prawdziwość tego twierdzenia. Gratulacje 👏💪
When I was 11 before I had an actual drum set, I always put about 3 or 4 trash cans together and jammed on those for a year or so. They actually didn’t sound that bad. My cymbal was an old charcoal grill. It worked.
When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a drum set for me accept some VERY Cheap Paper head kit(which lasted about 2 minutes)- yes, paper heads! I used a Dan-Dee Potato Chip can with a spring stretched across the bottom for my snare, and the lid for my closed Hi-Hat, a small plastic garbage can with the leftover foot pedal from the old 'paper-head' drum set for the kick, cardboard boxes for Tom-toms and a large carboard tube like All Detergent container for the floor tom. It sounded way better than this set.
😄Ahh! Nothing like the quiet summers after driving the neighbors out to vacation...
Pots and pans for me with wooden spoons
Real musicians can make music out of anything, we find a way. This dude... And it sounds awesome with headphones on. If recorded in studio would have a clean dry sound. Creative & affordable. 👍
If I play on the most expensive drumset available, it will sound like crap 😅. This man play on cheapest drumset in the world and it sound amazing... 👍
🙄you know he's only doing it to try to get you to switch with him... He's already got one drum kit in the back
☺JK
Too cool. My first drum set was 4 - 1 gallon ice cream buckets. My snare drum had marbles in it and I had different amounts of clothing for the Toms,and I had a metal globe for my cymbal.
Leon Alm, that sounds very coooool! Great idea with the marbles. i put some umbrella stuff on the toms.
This is for when children say I saw a drummer on TV and I want to be a drummer dad the best drummer in the world!!! But last week you wanted to be a zoo keeper, No! I really want to be a drummer now, well we'll try this and see how you go.
Hahahaaaa....!!! Brilliant. :-) Is this your own music you make, PureWhiteBlue? (channel)
@@juergenkulmermusic hello yes :) from years gone by! I still have many many more recent songs and still make music but I don't upload so much anymore, I keep meaning to but its difficult working 70-80 hours a week, but thank you for noticing and glad you liked my comment! Haha.
Reminds me of the first drum kit I made before I bought very first drum kit. I made the hi-hats out of wired coat hangers bunched together by their hooks and looped it into the handle of an old dining chair! The snare was a phone book placed on my lap and the tom was the back of said dining room chair!
My first drum set was : two tuppeware,and an old bird cage . After that , big painting pots , . Played on genesis songs. First real drum set ,i was already prepared.;) bravo man .from France
i like the bird cage. greets to france - thanks!
I love it! Being a dad on a budget I can really appreciate this. Well done!
0:36 sounds like a 16 bit sega or snes FIFA music, great!
I'd watch him play this in a live concert for sure.
Great, Sahit Dagani - thank you. Where would i have to go to?
I can't believe that I actually have everything here to be able to do this!!! I'm so onto it this afternoon!! Thanks Legend!!!
I once had a cheaper kit. Partially made from my daughter's kiddie drums that she didn't use anymore. Kick pedal was a piece of scrap wood attached to a spring and it would strike a book. Kept the passion alive until I got another real kit. Years later, I'm now in one of the busiest bands in town!
@@Delowist also I used to play on my dashboard when stuck in rush hour traffic. Tore up the dash pretty good but developed more control over my hands!

True percussionist can bring about rhythm in almost everything including life 😍🥰
It always amazes me how good just the bass drumhead can sound
yes! dont overtighten those lug nuts!
Snare is great!
When I was 13, my “kit” was basically my knees and my bed, as my parents weren’t supportive of music or art. I beat the living hell out of my legs. I even made my own drumsticks on the lathe in wood shop because I couldn’t buy real ones. Just some drumheads set up like this would have been like a dream for me back then. I was 18 when I finally bought my first real set, this old Raven kit.
Dedication. Whether it’s beating the living shit out of an old Yamaha kiddie acoustic or pot lids and a text books on the edge of your bed as a kit. Builds character and appreciation for real! 😂
Parents didn't support music, that sucks man!!! Smoke good herb bro I see your page.
Had to watch it again!!!👍 You could use different sized buckets for the shells to give it more tone. This is a great idea that could be made into something truly amazing. To keep the skins on the buckets, you could use the old tie them on with string to the buckets. And even use a small bucket with beans or something that could rattle to make a snare-like drum as well. Many possibilities, so thank you for one of the best ideas I've ever seen!!!👍👍👍💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
Good call with the small bucket-0-beans for a "snare drum" sound. I can TOTALLY hear that.
The first violin I bought for my then classical playing daughter, had been formerly used by a bluegrass fiddler and had a rattlesnake rattle wedged thru the F holes for a purcussive effect. It was old and beatup, needing some restoration, so THAT was the first thing to go. Although 10 years later, she became a Cape Breton fiddler.
@@genewilliams617 That's awesome!!!👍 It always makes me excited to hear that a younger person has taken interest in one instrument or another, so good for her. I'm sure you're very proud.👍🙂 That snakeskin violin (I think you mentioned something about snakeskin.lol) sounds like something you might want to keep. They don't make them like that anymore, unless you have one custom made, which would cost a small fortune. Great to hear that there is another young, up and comer. Best of luck to all of you!!!🙂👍🙏🙏🙏
@@genewilliams617 I've seen people make the snare from shoe laces, taping a tambourine to the bottom (which sounded quite amazing), laying several small chains together across the top skin and a few others that I can't think of right now. It's amazing what you can do and with what, especially in a pinch.😳🙂👍🙏🙏🙏
@@genewilliams617That's fantastic!!!👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It's actually hilarious that this sounds better than some actually drum kits on RUclips
Your drumming skills are insane. I can't play drums, but as a guitarist I always say a good guitarist can make any guitar sound amazing regardless of quality/price etc.
Well done with the drum kit, pretty genius tbh.
May I suggest incorporating an aluminum baking tray? 30 years ago I used one as a snare for my makeshift kit. My inner 16 year old, is hella impressed by this kit...absolute genius🔥🔥🔥✌🏽✌🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much VaHio Slim! i´ll search for an aluminium baking tray! ;-)
This brings back memories! I definitely did this when I was a kid. To make the snair I stretched pieces of wire going across the bottom of the skin on an old Tom, it sounded pretty good actually.
I expect it would.
This is DOPE! Thank you for posting this 🙏🏿🙌🏿
Cool!
Ich durfte mal erleben, wie aus Gartenschläuchen und Haushaltstrichtern zusammengebaute Instrumente klangen... Der Klang war mit echten Blechblasinstrumenten mehr als vergleichbar!
Ich liebe übrigens das Wort "Wäscheständerschlagzeug", gefühlt 99% aller Deutsch sprechenden hätten da wieder ein Leerzeichen gesetzt, wo keins hingehört... ;-)
Herzlichen Dank, Konfusius! Unlängst hab ich mal wieder in der Tischlerwerkstatt eines Freundes in einen Absaugschlauch die österreichische Bundeshymne zu spielen probiert - das kann ich aber unmöglich in´s Netz stellen. ;-) Aufgrund der Länge des Schlauches hatte es etwas von einem Alphorn weshalb auch intuitiv das besagte Stück zu erklingen hatte in diesem Moment.
Perfect kit for street performers!!!👍
I`d love to see this with a double bass drum, Cheers!
There it is: ruclips.net/video/EJ9_B_BTjV4/видео.html :-)
I used a bunk bed (top Frame as cymbals), couch pillow as rack tom, and bed as the Snare for years until a guitarist sold me his CB700 for $90 in 1993 👍
Well this is a throwback to my youth when fellow drummers used to complain about the drumset the school had. It looked wrecked and wasn't the newest one. But it sounded awesome if you knew how to play - for the teachers it was an ideal drumset to see who was skilled and who wasn't.
Outstanding, the best 1:40 of my life. My ears are so happy and my knees won't stop bouncing lol
This kick drum is pure MADNESS! 🔥
agreed
That is some extreme level of engineering ingenuity! My man, it's time to start a drum cover channel with this kit! seriously, think about it
First thing that must be said about the engineering is... It's gorilla tape
Second thing to say is... What the hell else do you do with grandma's old stocking dry rack?
Sehr geil! Die Toms klingen erschreckend gut!
Thought I was about to get Rick rolled for a minute there, thank god 😅
lol ;-)
Good drummer Good groove! Sound is absolutely functional.
Thanks a lot!
This actually sounds really good! Amazing!
Just insane
I think it's testament to that amazing sounding room 😍
R I GH T !!!
The passion this man has for drumming is amazing. I'd never have thought of this, your dry kit (?) Sounds great though. Keep it up.
0 ply shells are sick!
I am absolutely impressed!
If you microphone it well and use some sound editing in post this can be made to sound very very good. Even if you only use piezoelectric mics, they can be used to trigger some samples from a proper kit recorded in a full fledged recording studio. I like the ingenuity. Keep it up.
That is what a good sound processing does. Amazing
That sounds quite good! I always thought the shell of a bass drum was required to get a good amount of bass……I was wrong LOL!
Thanks. Me too.
Genius. Sometimes i'm not able to understand such people's creativity. Cheers!!
But for the DW3000 kick… Your set is in desperate need of a downgrade! ;-) Nice performance! :)

Creative Excellence sir !!!!!
Thank you so much, John Corsaro. Keep your drumspirit going on! Greets from Austria, J.
This reminds me of that video where a guy wanted to find out exactly what gives a guitar it's tone. So he starts altering and removing parts until he's left with strings suspended in tension and pickups suspended under the strings and it still sounds awesome. I mean, this isn't the same, but it's cool nonetheless.
Grossartig! Weinachtsgeschenk für mein tochtersohn, vier jahre alt. Danke! :)
Gerne. :-)
Drumming is so freaking cool how you can do all this seen so many different types of these videos but it's still cool how people can create such sounds that can create such emotional feelings for people. Even on just a piece of plastic the basic fundamentals still apply. Got to love music. Cool idea.
thanks for the great and kind words.

Great invention Jürgen and what does your wife say about this? 🤣

The drums themselves cost less than a meal out, but the mics alone cost more than my whole drumset. Plus, a nice kick pedal. This isn’t exactly an example of “poor person can’t afford kit but they love to play so much that they make do” and more of a “person tries to see if he could make a drumset with only drumheads”
Yeah it's not all that
I non ironically like this tone. Sounds like it would be killer to layer into other drum samples. Especially those Tom’s.
