That is actually a really sweet looking snare. I like my snares shorter (in height). Wish I could have bought a whole drumset from you but I *just* bought a Yamaha Stage Custom (birch 22") and tuning it is driving me nuts (it's my first drumset, though I've been drumming since I was 3, and I have NO idea what to do ._.). I guess I'll build my own at some point, always wanted to make cymbals anyway :D Also here's a little idea I had. What if you had non-cylinder shells? Maybe if you had shells with spikes on the inside you could do a lot of funky things with resonance as more of the low tones will be captured by the shell. Maybe it brings out the lower end? Maybe add some holes (like ocarinas) that, when air flows through them, they create a whistle type of thing? Just wanted to know if anyone tried or thought about any of these. Haven't copyrighted these yet so make them while you still can, or just copyright them yourselves that's fine too. I'll go cry in a corner now.
If your lookin for drummers to push ur product, I'm new but if u check my videos out maybe u will see potential, maybe not? But would love to represent someone like u, who's comin up...either way ur drums are absolutely gorgeous and they sound so damn good!!!
I love the metallic hollow sound you get when the snare is full-on - at the highest tension. That sound I find rare and brings a wonderful dynamic to simple drum patterns/expression. Great build, congratulations.
Really nice job. I did a similar build a few years ago using a Keller shell and all Trick hardware. Very satisfying and rewarding to play on a drum that you've personally invested so much time into.
David it looks like you have a nice shop set-up now. And congrats on the drill press. I highly recommend old Delta, Rockwell, and my personal favorite Walker Turner. Since you are on the east coast they are more plentiful there, especially upper east coast but they come up cheap on Craigslist from time to time. I have a full shop of the them now..all from 1940 to 1960.
Give it some love with those triple flange and a 2 ply coated batter. I’m always curious to hear a drum singing. Great job on this man, really inspiring.
I've been meaning to say this for a while, and maybe you already know about this...but Tru Oil made by Birchwood Casey is amazing. It's Tung OIl but it has some other additives that allow it to cure out more like a synthetic finish. It can be applied in many coats and lightly sanded in between. After a final cure and polish it is a really nice natural finish. I've used it on guitar necks a few times.
I’ve seen you make cowbells before, and it’s always cool to hear the new sound of the different metals and I thought it might be cool if you made a cowbell out of an old cymbal.
11:05 you can see my custom reclaimed Douglas Fir stave snare with custom aged brass hardware. I can't recommend HHG Drums enough. They are super friendly and stoked on making your dream snare. Please consider them if you decide the custom route.
Dude! I would have so many drum sets if I had all of that equipment. LOL You do an amazing job David. Keep it up. I may have to get you to build me a custom snare. Love the channel.
THAT is the stave build. Less mass on the shell allows lower tuning, if desired. This idea originated with Chris Brady’s baritone snare drums. Rhett Hendrix took it further with his archetype series, which have the thick rings and scooped out interiors yours have.
I have one similar. 6x5x14, 5/16 thick but no re rings. ash and walnut. I used Danish oil to finish to keep it more natural. Try that next time. Great job and it sounds great!
Nice work! Snare looks great with that badge. The tip of the drill bit in that press looks like it's wandering a bit - may want to see if that chuck can be adjusted.
Very controlled top end on this one, also quite little low end, taking into account that it's a 7". Not something I've heard before, nice work as always! It looks absolutely stunning ofc. I'd go with loose or mid setting on snares!
Idea for next project. Make a mold for a snare shell, then melt down aluminum cans to make an aluminum snare. Could be cool.
Steven Pryor that’s the best!
Gotta make it shallow so it really pops..........
Lol that’d be funny
no, cast obsidian
Aren't drums too thin too cast?
Awesome job man!!! You did a great job building it out!

Very nice.
@@nram3930 that sounds like a sick idea. Go for it when you can.

Your chops have improved dramatically, bro!
I love the metallic hollow sound you get when the snare is full-on - at the highest tension. That sound I find rare and brings a wonderful dynamic to simple drum patterns/expression. Great build, congratulations.
I think some dark brown wooden hoops would look amazing!
Looks slick!
LanceCampeau i love your channel so much
LanceCampea
You should try making a super High tension snare drum , 20 luggs on a piccolo snare with a kevlar head
i dont think they make 20 lug rims. but imagine a 12 lug top and a 4 lug bottom
Well yeah maybe i am overeacting with 20, but to see the. Max, would be amazing
this snare is completly sick I love it, amazing job David
Are you going to remake the cable hihat stand for the suitcase drumset?
I'd be into watching that!
Been waiting for that for aggggeeez
the snare sounds absolutely beautiful
I really like the sound of this. Looks gorgeous too
FINALLY ALL MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD, GOD EXIST MY DUDES!!!! THE BEARDED GUY FINALLY FINISHED THE HHG SHELL!!!!!!!
Ahhh the P77... the grim reaper of a drum's character 😭😭
yes... I learned that the hard way lol
rdavidr yeah I just find anything with an edge ring is always too much on a snare...
Are you guys referring to the dryness of the drum?
Great sounding snare. Awesome build.
That’s just about the coolest looking snare i’ve ever seen. With the tube lugs it looks a lot like a marching snare
a worthy test play for a snare as great as this.
5:05 man you look weird in that shot
That's not him, it's (probably) a guy from HGG drums. Sorry if this was a joke but sarcasm really can't be expressed in any form of writing.
it was a joke, just not a funny one.
Crafty Velociraptor Music I thought it was funny
As mentioned it's kind of impossible to tell. I guess I should laugh now?
hahahahahahahaha?
Thanks bro.
I'm making a trainee as carpenter and you guys totally inspired me to build a drum on my own. Damn that must be fun!
Yesssss!!!
It turned out awesome.
It really ties the drum together, man.
Yeah, well, Dave abides!
You must be very proud of this build. I know I would be. The stamp on that badge just made it even more priceless. Bravo!!!
so awesome Sam made you an amazing shell .
This inspired me to make a stave snare for my brother, thanks for sharing!
That snare sounds as good as it looks. Bloody Awesome.
Congratulations on your project completion!
I've always wanted a stave snare...still do. Looks sick. Sounds sick.
So sick! I really enjoy your videos RDavidR!
That sounds warm n fantastic
the snare drum sounds fantastic
So beautiful snare drum
That snare is a work of art 👌
Really nice job. I did a similar build a few years ago using a Keller shell and all Trick hardware. Very satisfying and rewarding to play on a drum that you've personally invested so much time into.
indeed!
Never clicked a notification so fast
A thing of beauty!
My favorite build yet!
Creating your own snare? Hell yeah!
Two Tone Snare (b - e flat). Sounds and looks great!
Sweet sweet sweet! Always good when rdavidr posts a video!
A very nice end result! you can be proud of your hard work.
Still my favourite YT channel. Killing it man.

Absolutely GORGEOUS. Awesome work, man!
Lovely snare!
Best badge I've seen rdavidr!
Literally my perfect snare!
That is seriously beautiful!
WOW!! Super Sweet!!!! Great job, Dude!! Beautiful drum and sounds great too!!! You made the right choice with the die cast hoops!!!
She's beautiful...and what a singing voice she has!
Give it some love with those triple flange and a 2 ply coated batter. I’m always curious to hear a drum singing. Great job on this man, really inspiring.
this looks really cool. Someone should sell some like this one. an entire drum set must look awsome.
Wow that looks great! It looks like a marching drum!
Fabulous job 👍👍👍

Awesome content man. I hope to see you posting more in the future. Rock on 🤘
I’ve seen you make cowbells before, and it’s always cool to hear the new sound of the different metals and I thought it might be cool if you made a cowbell out of an old cymbal.
Nice....and the badge is cool!

Looks nice. Sounds nice. Great vid...as usual. Greetings from Brazil.
Bad ass brother! The drum came out awesome and sounded great. I like that you put your logo on there. Nice touch!
Been waiting for this one for awhile
Beautiful snare bro!
Damn that badge ties the whole drum together. Also just bought some rdavidr stickers and i can't wait for them to come in!
Beautiful
That is one helluva air vent 👌🏻
R David R, he is back, he is R saviour.

That thick shell makes this sound so fucking GOOD
Sounds awesome man
5:24 Gotta love that tone, last note of the melody in the background music lol.
Well done ! Perfect work man.
sounds very good! HHG makes great drums-
beautiful!
Really loved this man. You inspire me so much!
Make a drum set out of pvc pipe please.
This would be incredible.
PVC snares are so agressive.
In the works, check my channel for my PVC snare builds.
Great drum
Major impressive🤗
Masterpiece!!
Sounds super nice!
agreed!
Sounds sweet. Looks like I'm building a stave now
Signature snare? 🤔
Awesome sound!!!! Loved it
I love you for this
It's about time! Hahaha been looking forward to this one for a long time!
Sounds incredible and looks great!
I personally don't care for the head choice for that snare, but that's definitely an awesome high quality snare! Looks amazing too!
That is one classy ass snaredrum
I love me an ass snare
the one and only rdavidr
Nice work! Snare looks great with that badge. The tip of the drill bit in that press looks like it's wandering a bit - may want to see if that chuck can be adjusted.
Its just that bit, I made sure to check when I noticed that haha
Keep up the videos man, good job
Very controlled top end on this one, also quite little low end, taking into account that it's a 7". Not something I've heard before, nice work as always! It looks absolutely stunning ofc. I'd go with loose or mid setting on snares!
yeah its the head, def gotta switch it out. it was my first time using the p77
The P77 really makes a difference !
