I think that chain mail cymbal will also come in handy if you're ever in a flood of arrows. You know, it moves with you while you storm the castle, etc.
To answer the perfect pitch question, the notes in order on that one cymbal, from largest to smallest, are E, Eb, D, F#, D, F, F#, F, and Bb. I was surprised that the notes weren’t progressively higher. Probably just how the overtones interacted with each other.
The chainmail hi-hat is pretty bad ass. Sure you could achieve a similar sound through effects, but it's a crunchy and mean sound ready to go. The heat shrink on the hat clutch was such a good idea, never even considered that for different hat stacks.
@@jonathantitterington6221 fr that’s kinda what I was getting at I forget which mini clip game it was but they only had one punch/gunshot sound it sounded like that
Most digital effects are based on real analogue techniques and processes so I'd say it's the other way! The analogue vs digital debate get's way overplayed though IMO, if a piece of equipment or a plugin motivates and assists you in being creative then it's a good thing regardless!
The chain mailed cymbal might make for an interesting stack. Remember a couple years ago when everyone was obsessed with stacking every combination of cymbals?
And now everyone is seemingly obsessed with playing two rack toms - but having the smaller one on the right. . . . Now you've read this you'll see it everywhere.
The floor tom with the toy on it was my favourite one. I think I'm going to buy a pin toy so I can try this out. Great video David! Always love watching everything you make
The pin toy on the tom sounds really good; would make for a great lo-fi hip hop kit and it's one I'd love to try for myself. That was by far the best hack imo. The chain mail high hat top was pretty decent too. The timpani floor tom was interesting, but it seems pretty impractical.
Imagine getting to hangout with rdavidr for a day and trying out all his crazy creations from over the years and getting to mess with his plethora of cool drum toys. Sounds like a dream come true!
I bought one of those metal pin toy things just for drums, after seeing your vid. It has potential. The pins are a bit sharp, so I'm a bit concerned at scratching rims and scoring/cutting drum heads, but there are ways around that. Definitely an interesting sound to experiment with.
I love this channel. I'm barely a drummer (I'm a guitar player who "plays drums"). The only kit I currently have access to is an electric kit. I know nothing about wood working or metal working. But I am still glued to these videos, because I love the way you look at music juuuust a little bit differently with most of the projects you do.
it's cool to see such a range of attempts at making new drum and percussion sounds! I gotta say the most interesting one was the pin toy setup, but the first one with the roto-tom head was also pretty cool...the others were not so good
I feel like one of the reasons the weird bell-cut cymbal wasn’t great was because a cluster crash has really focused hammering in a few places around the cymbal. A more traditional cymbal I think would have been better
First time seeing one of your videos, this is great man - really appreciate the work you put into it! Subscribed That last one reminds me of the talking drums from West Africa
rototom frames on their own are called spoxe and at one point in the 90s they sold em seprately for this exact reason. they sound great as a pair on a hihat stand.
Most of these are really good, the chainmaille hi-hat thingy...not so much. I remember when Remo just sold the bottoms of roto toms as Spoxes. Terry Bozzio was a big endorser (he may have even been behind them); love that someone decided to bring that concept back a bit.
The timpani has potential. I used to blow in to the air hole on my floor Tom while playing it and it sounded really cool. The hi hat stand seems to have the opposite affect as it’s pulling the head down instead of pushing it up.
You crushed the ending, excellent beat you had going with the stop/start video. Wish you did more of that! Love your videos, very entertaining. Thank you.
To explore the floortom-hihat a bit further: 1: What if you took a resohead, put a hole in it that matches the hihat-tube: Would you get more of a tone? 2: What if you made a low-boy out of a hihat in order to control only the resohead…maybe make a hihat-stand which controls BOTH heads at the same time?
You can create the same effect with a lot less set up by sticking one end of a rubber tube into the vent hole of a tom(with both heads on) and blowing into it.
I'm just discovering this vid now, but that pin toy + floor tom combo sounds great, and my first thought is how this might sound pitch shifted up closer to a snare tuning - perhaps even higher and it could be a great drum n bass sound/sample
Fun Fact: The 19" front wheel (aluminum) from an early 80's Kawasaki 1100 sounds pretty close to the intro bell in Hell's Bells. Perhaps a bit more high pitched, but... pretty close. Without a tire of course... Discovered this when changing brake rotors and fixing a flat tire on my trusty old iron horse.
That was really great dude!! For the last hack with the timpani-like floor tom, I think the head could use some more tension. It seemed kind of loose so the effect wasn't pronounced

Which was your favorite?? I love them all, but that pin toy on the floor tom is money 👌
The home-made spaghetti-o tension rod washers was visually appealing.
I want to put the pin toy on a snom.
What are the hihats
The pin toy on tom reminds me of a cheap 90's midi hand clap sound in the best kind of nostalgic way
I'm gonna have to make the horror sound FX one

Im working on a full body suit made of zbts at the moment for that exact occasion actually.
Not sure if ZBT's will work.... try the Meinl HCS. 🤣

As someone with perfect pitch, this is correct
I hear some pitch diference when he puts tapes on it
@@gabococaXD yeah, for sure. I only really listened for the first round pitches
Personally I would have said ; E, Eb, D, F#, D, ! E !, F#, F, and Bb. Resonance in D
@@eiwdice I got similar notes

The metal pin toy floor Tom lowkey would be a great sound to use in acoustic rap drum beats could be used almost as a gun shot effect as well
Gives me space ghosts purp production style vibes
Sounds kinda like old school video game punching sound effects
@@jonathantitterington6221 fr that’s kinda what I was getting at I forget which mini clip game it was but they only had one punch/gunshot sound it sounded like that
Completely analogue sound hacks that are giving digital effects some competition. Nice.
Analog sfx will prosper they are 110% better then digital

@@jackoff6746 nothing is as versatile as digital 🤷🏻♂️

Looks like a good way to ruin a perfectly good expensive cymbal 🤷♂️
Stacks 4 lyfe 😂

Yep and that was the birth of the manbun.
@@TempoDrift1480 You're confusing correlation with causation 😂
I like the pin toy on the tom. Very interesting and cool sound to it. Almost like a thump and clap. Keep up the awesome work! 🤘🏻
It sounds like a gunshot
I thought it sounded like a electric snare from the 80’s.
The chopped up cymbal bell thing would actually be sick for multi-percussion setups
Also it would a nice dark/ritual ambient material
The floor tom with the toy on it was my favourite one. I think I'm going to buy a pin toy so I can try this out. Great video David! Always love watching everything you make

The horror sound effects cymbal segment was killer 👍🏻
“Slipknot mask vibes” cracked me up. 😂
The floor tom snare thing was legit. A sample of that would be awesome. Second is the floor tom tabla
The drum processing on this sounds amazing! You gotta do a video on how you processed the drums on this video!
Why do I find myself always watching your videos on the toilet? Ever since you played drums in Casey's bathroom, man.

The collaboration beat at the end was beautiful.
Loved the “hihat floor Tom” and “pin drop Tom”
That pin toy sound is amazing, like an emulation of a crowd of people clapping together. A clap version of a marching machine!
That pin toy on the floor Tom sounds like a super low snare drum. I loved it. The delay effect was cool too.
This is the greatest video ever made. No hyperbole.
I love this channel. I'm barely a drummer (I'm a guitar player who "plays drums"). The only kit I currently have access to is an electric kit. I know nothing about wood working or metal working.

The content on this channel never fails to amaze!!!
That “tom snare” sounds like the gated drums of the 80s. Pretty cool.
it's cool to see such a range of attempts at making new drum and percussion sounds! I gotta say the most interesting one was the pin toy setup, but the first one with the roto-tom head was also pretty cool...the others were not so good
This is one of the most fun videos that I have watched. The hand-pin thing was my favorite.
I feel like one of the reasons the weird bell-cut cymbal wasn’t great was because a cluster crash has really focused hammering in a few places around the cymbal. A more traditional cymbal I think would have been better
I liked it - kind of a tongue drum effect. I wonder how it'd do on a Paiste or similar more uniform pressed cymbal.
Just wondering if a smaller roto-tom frame would work better or differently. More space to hit the head.
I've done that with an 8" roto tom frame...also used the black part of the frame as part of a cymbal stack.
yeah a smaller one def would be easier to hit the snare. I was just scared of it bouncing around too much
Studio looking hella fresh
ayyye thanks 👌
Man, appreciate the production value here bro. Lots of time and effort put into that and it shows with quality. Thank you!
That outro combining all the sounds was fire!
The bit at the end with everything all together was actually quite cool.
The bit at the end with the rhythm that sounds very techno like ... can be a good sample for a banger
“Slipknot mask vibes” 😆 take my like, you silly drummer.

Yup. Totally remember that
That floor Tom thing with the little metal sticks is actually pretty amazing.

The end was the best. And the sliced up cymbal really nailed the creepy vibes.
pin toy beat was super sick, what a neat snare effect!
YO that floor tom with the pin toy sounds ridiculously amazing
The pin toy hack sounds like a digital drum from the 80's- pretty cool
The pin toy sounded AWESOME!!!
Oh man that floor tom pin toy combo is so cool.
The roto tom frame on the snare was pretty nuts, great old school hip hop vibe
My heart kinda sank watching that beautiful K cymbal get cut and drilled.
The tunable floor tom is actually pretty cool. I'd enjoy having one of those.
Great finish to the video. I love the chain mail cymbals.
im so happy i found this channel even tho i hardly know anything about drums
I liked how the pin one didn’t only sound cool, but also looked cool
I liked the pins for the snare effect, that was my favorite
The timpani has potential. I used to blow in to the air hole on my floor Tom while playing it and it sounded really cool. The hi hat stand seems to have the opposite affect as it’s pulling the head down instead of pushing it up.

@@jonathanhodges2561 Sure, and it’s an old trick…but where’s the meme/click-factor in that? 😂
You went so hard making that shattered cymbal. Pretty satisfying to see, awesome video
How does David not have like 2M subscribers? Such great videos man! Please never stop! Best drum channel on TH-cam!
Love the stapled up Frankencymbal.
That outro beat was dope. Tribal AF. Thank you
I vibe so hard anytime I hear a chainmail cymbal!
that roto tom frame trick sounds like it would be perfect for breakcore
the drum mixing on this vid is lit
1.45 - I have perfect pitch. Those notes were my favourite; H, I, J, K. Makes for a great PRO PEVEL chord progression as well!!
that ending 🤣 EVERYTHING TOGETHER IS ALWAYS MORE BETTER
Rototom frame on the snare goes super hard. Straight hip hop snare
That pin thing on the floor tom is waaaay cool. Very unique.
Rhythmic angle grinding on the chain mail cymbal. Slick.
The pins one was actually really cool. It's like someone made a 90's 808 clap into a drum head.
A “hack” video where everything is legitimately cool? Unheard of. Keep it up!!
Ironically only the cymbal was hacked. Everything else was a tip or hint or trick.
Cool tricks! And the final sequence gathering all of them was great!
Haha! That modded cymbal with the different bell pitches gave me a Nutcracker vibe. Awesome 😎
"Then I read the directions...." LMAO!! Love that tom snare thingie way most yes double good...
Dude your drumming ist always so tasteful. Your grooves give me Benny Greb vibes
I'm just discovering this vid now, but that pin toy + floor tom combo sounds great, and my first thought is how this might sound pitch shifted up closer to a snare tuning - perhaps even higher and it could be a great drum n bass sound/sample
I like in the end how you combined them fun!
the floor tom snare thing was awesome. I'm gonna try that.
That ending jam was cool af
The floor tom-pani is pretty brilliant, manufacturers really ought to get in on that.
That last bit was really cool
I’m glad to hear she’s ok
Fun Fact: The 19" front wheel (aluminum) from an early 80's Kawasaki 1100 sounds pretty close to the intro bell in Hell's Bells. Perhaps a bit more high pitched, but... pretty close.
Without a tire of course...
Discovered this when changing brake rotors and fixing a flat tire on my trusty old iron horse.
That first try with the roto frame on the snare and reverb mic had a great sneaker pimps vibe. 1:55
that pin toy on the floor tom sounded sick!!
Your drum videos never cease to entertain me!
Gotta tune the floor tom higher first to make it work but I pretty much like all of these hacks.
That was really great dude!! For the last hack with the timpani-like floor tom, I think the head could use some more tension. It seemed kind of loose so the effect wasn't pronounced
I tired a couple tuning and loose seemed the best. anything too high was kinda choked, but of course it could be the head/drum/clutch etc.
Probably wanted a thinner head with more tension. Timp heads are generally pretty thin.
The "bell plate cymbal thing" is really cool imo
its very rare to add a new subscriber, even rarer on the first vid i see of them. excellent job mate.
I have a idea for the next video play a drum kit with only bass drums
"...serious Slipknot mask vibe.." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love this fluffy drum man
Jonathan Ulman is the man! His cymbal and drum mods are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
A lot of fun ideas. The franken cymbal has a nice Tim Burton feel. Old blues players got away with a rolled up newspaper and a box or a counter.
The last one is cool i love your video tnx
oo i really enjoyed that first groove with the PinTom.
the chain mail cymbal one was amazing. the pin toy on the tom was also nice but can get tiring fast. but a sweet accent sound.
Awesome video! Loved all of them, especially the roto tom one!
Wow that bass drum tone is insane
floor tom is killer. Love your content. Your creativity knows no bounds! I look forward to new posts....
🤘
