The moment I saw this vintage Tama Kingbeat snare shell, I KNEW I needed it. Theres just something about old beat up snares that make me love them. Especially this one since the shell looks like it's copper. It would be simply enough (and really expensive) to buy all of the correct Tama parts for it, but I wanted to challenge myself by using only parts that I already had. The lugs are from a Rogers SuperTen, the throw off is from a Tama piccolo, butt is a Pearl, and the hoops and tension rods, well knows what the came off of! I guess you could call this a "relic snare." Relic guitars are definitely a thing, but are relic drums a thing?

WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THIS TAMA KINGBEAT SNARE DRUM?!
What do you like better, brand new shiny drums or old messed up looking drums?
Your drums, David. Your drums.
Yes
Drums with character for sure.
time for a bell brass find video
All I own are old messed up drumsets. A good drummer can make two rocks sound good. Someday me to.
Love that the orange strap moves with every hit because of the “new” vent hole 🕳
Flappy lil strap) was about to comment the same)
+100 style points!
i'm so glad you played a kinda punky song towards the end. usually when i see those tama drums, my brain is just like "90's skate-punk" also looks like something one of those 90's skate punk bands would play on a reunion tour. like the band hadn't played together since 99 and the drummer was like "i'm gonna use my old tama kit" and it was the first time he'd seen the snare in 20 years and is just like "i'll make it work"
my thoughts exactly! whenever I set up one of my tamas I feel the need to play rock or punk haha
Obviously the mix has been equalized and all but that snare sounds pretty dope. Actually looks good as well.
Ya I wish he would show the raw sound more often
Missed opportunity!->
If you had cut the two snare straps at opposite angles it would have looked like a snake tongue, and the way the strap was dancing being in front of the air port combined with the rock ‘n’ roll would have added at least another +10 style points.
Only thing I would have added was a coat of clear lacquer over it to keep the rest of the flaky chrome from becoming glitter and winding up in the carpet all over the house.
Only David would have a muffler box.
Drums that sound good. Aesthetics don't bother me.
bc rich guitars and basses be like
@@lucasconklin71 well I can tell that you're not a metalhead
@@layz_gaming_4275 : I've been a metalhead since I was a kid (AKA back when KNAC was a metal station) and I think BC Rich guitars are silly.
Apogee should send the new Ensemble to David! Upvote so they see this!
Vintage Tama are my favorite line of drums. Glad to see this snare has some life left. Noice job David!
Oooooo, that thing is tasty. Now I'm going to have to go finish fixing up my old ImperialStar Powerline...
Easily the best snare I’ve heard on this channel 🥵
Nice work! A testament to why we drumsmiths keep so many parts around.
I would’ve taken a wire wheel to the shell, stripped off the chrome and made a brushed copper shell.
100% badass!
Totally agree. He should have worked on the finish at least a little. The thing is...it still sounds great
Its more a weathered look i imagine his goal was here.
Build an entire set of Steam Punk themed drums.... aaaand Go insane with it, lol.
Don't forget the plumbing pipe stands & the tarnished cymbals!
@@timm1139 I think Neil Peart had a steampunk kit.
@@frankspikes7858 That he did for the Time Machine tour. Probably in terms of looks is easily my favorite kit.
I love the look of a hot mess drum in the morning. Plus thisun sounds bad ass ta boot. Nice mix. Btw, you on new medication or something? Your playing has really stepped up.
Just got today a late 70s/early 80s tama Imperialstar snare. Rusty, dirty, but for 60€ I had to get it and all hardware is functional. I can't wait to bring it back to life.
It sounds really good!
Sheesh!!! That snare sounds sick man!!
Damn that snare sounds ridiculously good
Bonus points for the vent hole/strap effect.
The way the color of the snare was in the beginning of the video was actually pretty cool.
Sounds badass! I have an old Slingerland that a neighbor left out by the trash, so I rescued it. It's an old Buddy Rich model from the '60's with 8 lugs. I havent started the restoration on it yet, but I look forward to it soon.
I like how the end off the snare strap moves by the air from the vent each time you hit the drum.
I’d rock that snare. I imagine it set up with a pristine piano black lacquer kit for a bit of contrast and character. And, it sounds killer!
I like to feel the sound of rust tearing the chrome of the pieces, somehow the sound is more alive,the sound of this snare is really amazing
less layers of stuff on the shell probably means less damping of harmonics, so you're probably not that far off in your observation
Oh wow, looks and sounds so good
Holy Crap dude!! I've been watching a lot of your stuff lately, and you don't get enough credit for your playing abilities!!!
Coolest looking snare ever! The orange is perfect! I love it ain’t nothing wrong with the sound either win win ....it’s got so much style!!
I didn't have faith on the look. I thought you were gonna paint the shell. But then after a second thought I realized it looks amazing. But then BAM!!! You start to play it , and I thought it was a transition song (not related to the snare) to show how it was gonna sound, but it was the actual sound and it was sick!!!!!!!!! btw, the song was amazing, It reminded me the best my chemical romance songs!!!!
Sounds ace and I like the orange crosswind flag detail too 🥁🚩
It starts off looking like a giant can of spaghetti sauce. Lol
Rat rod style drum. I love it. Has flair.
Old tama snares give me the zoomies.
That copper look is actually really nice
Damn you rdavidr, just now bought me 100 Hendrix light blue sleeved washers for my early 2000's Pearl Export ELX Selects in Blue Mist lacquer drum kit!! Thanks for the heads up!! :)
That looked amazing! I would definitely go for that as a finish on a snare...
I have one of these that looked good when I put it into storage and like trash when it came out. I stripped it, powder coated it light grey and put Ludwig die-cast brass hoops on it.
The GoPro cam actually made me laugh man is just the MacGyver of drums lol
david, you are amazing. love your videos. ypu are an inspiration the mcgiver of the drum world. keep up the videos. love them.
It turned out really good, better than I expected it to. The drum has a lot of character. Guitarists love buckle rash on thier guitars, I would say this is a rough equivalent. Nice work.
This is probably my favourite sounding snare from any of your videos
Looks Steampunk, and sounds great. Me likey!
Honestly, this is probably one of the nicest snare drums I've ever seen! Great job man!
Lovely sounding snare drum, Davie-boy! 👍
I love watching your videos. Found you, thanks to your work with EMCproductions! It amazes me as you take all your pieces and parts from your inventory and repair instruments that have seen better days!
Yaeh man, that drum sounds great! Who needs chrome plating anyway!
It looks pretty sick I wish I had this!
I have a brass free floater snare that I did a vinegar salt patina to it. Came out amazing. The original lacquer had perished.
You have been inspiring me to make some Holy Crashes lately, and I made a Tom/snare (13x10) recently, and I love the deep dry sound of it. Love your channel!
That snare sounds so good
That snare strap was vibin' hard.
Dude, you would love my current kit. It's actually a set of pdp rack toms that somebody dumped in the desert. A friend of mine brought them to me. I turned them into a respectable, battered looking little pocket kit. Got their first real play this past fourth of July.
That beat up old Tama ain't ready to go yet
Looks cool, sounds even cooler
I like that beat, it's close enough to the punk stuff I, listen to 👌. Also the Sleeved Washers are a nice touch, I got the orange one's in my kit as well.
Oh my good!!!!! Love that sound.
Hell of a sound, my brother. Great diy recovery!
This snare sounds amazing and looks incredible. Im kinda jealous 😄
This snare looks so cool AND have a great sound, good job
THAT is a great sounding snare!
That snare strap was going wild the whole time you were playing.
I love drums that look like that.
They looked aged and futuristic.
great job as usual dave. love the look and the sound of the snare.
That snare sounds great!
I did not think that drum was going to sound that good! Plus great playing and great song choice to showcase it
What a killer sound !!!
A snare drum is special. This drum fits in perfectly, and you make it sound great👌
This was just lovely
One of the best looking snares you did so far!
The chrome on the bead looks killer against the bronze color as well. Nice work again!
I was thinking it would sound good. But it sounds really good like a $300 snare.
i love that old crappy look!
Finally a new video! Was getting worried!!! Lol!
Tama Seamless 80s 5" Steel Shell + S-Hoops + nice wires + nice Heads = no brainer that sounds like 1000 Bucks
Nice work. It looks awesome and sounds great..
Love the rock beat for this one awesome to see your other skills in drumming
Sick project drum man. Looks really rad, and sounds good 😎
Awesome! That snare sounds and looks great!
Sadly I found three legendary snare drums in this kind of abandoned state... One Eames drum - some of the last shells made with the Gladstone technique and molds - that had been f*** up with a file. I had to redo the entire bearing edge by hand per the instructions of the current owner of Eames drums, making a graduated bed. The snare have been acquired by one of my friends who is a pro player :) Another one, was a Rogers Big R Dynasonic, found randomly by some instructor at my school back in the days. It needed some care, so I told them where to go in town, that they could fix it, and that I would take it if they didn't wanted the thing. Not only was the lady outraged that I asked, I never saw it again and they ended up putting it in the trash, very probably... D: Also saw an abandoned Slingerland on the floor of a big-band practice room in college in terrible state... I don't know why do people can't respect drums in the West?!!
awesome groove too!
Once again another great video
Your playing is really getting good.
Love the look, love the drumming!
Dang that drum looks and sounds incredible! Love it!
Badass drumming!
Love it as is! Just be careful that the peeling chrome doesn’t cut you. Chrome flakes are like little razor blades. Sounds great looks great!
Nice and shiny!
Sounds awesome!
That snare sounds damn good, kinda reminds me of the sound of an old Pearl free floating snare, you should do a review of one of those one day if you have, or could find one, I haven’t seen one in years
I think it looks sick personally
There's a German word for what this Drum ended up to be: "Resterampe", which means Dave used whatever parts were left over for this build. As they say "It's not beautiful, but it's rare".
Sounds killer!
Nice drumming!
sounds amazing!
Damn dave this snare sounds killer, looks sick too! Getting real hotrod vibes
Maybe it’s the rat rod enthusiast in me, but that thing is awesome
The rust almost brass, copper color looks great
I added parts from an old swingstar snare to a Rogers COB powertone shell. Lugs fit perfect.
I love that snare drum I want it
Hey David, I was wondering if you could do a video on stripping chrome done to the copper for us. I hear muriatic acid with a battery charger will do the trick like an electrolysis setup. Keep up the good work buddy.
Sounds sick!!
Sounds sick. Looks Badass
