Be sure to tell me how I ruined this Supra!
Being me, I would have probably either powder coated it or fully stripped it to have it anodized but that's just because I never would have thought to do the relic/rustic thing. All in all it looks great and still sounds great, that's all that matters.
Lazy Dave back at it again! 🤣🤣
Haha hah no matter what you do ya can't make everyone happy.
It could also be sandblasted now after the chrome is off, then you would get a more consistent matte finish I guess. But still, everything feels better than the flaky chrome.
@@MK-kq1mb yeah a shot cabinet would be a good addition to the toolkit
Forget the snare, that was the tastiest groove you ever dropped.
I thought the same thing! Solid groove for sure. Really locked in!
Bro fr
Lol retweet that brother, the kit sounds bigger too
Seriously, that jam on the Vox kit was some quality material. Thank you, sir.
I love how controlled and crunchy that snare sounds and yes, you’re playing... 🤯
Just the title gave me anxiety. Not sure why. These things aren’t rare.
After seeing it done, I think it’s a good candidate for some patina.
Chemical etching FTW!!!
Yes pls make a kickss steampunk snare
My OCD is going to kill me now with that badge being tilted. Still a cool idea!
I personally think it looks sharp. A MATRIX SUPRA.
The Kind has spoken.
I'm a spraypaint kinda guy, textured "hammered bronze" rustoleum is a go-to. Call me lazy...
2:16 THE SYNC UP WITH THE BEAT IS SO NAUGHTY
Clicked for the drum diy stuff, stayed for the music.
When I got the notification, I only read the title and thought it was a Wintergatan video
Pain is temporary, glory is forever.
I've been a subscriber since the 100 rivets in a cymbal video. Your drumming has improved so much. Very musical and tasteful.
Freakin love that sound! I also really enjoyed the groove.
Have you been practicing more recently? You just settled into this groove in a way like you haven’t before on this channel!
Dude, that snare (and honestly the rest of the kit) sounds freaking incredible 🤯
Ludwig chroming on their hardware in the 70’s was horrible! It peeled off! This snare must’ve been from that era! Ha! Same 70’s style badge.
It sounds great though! Dig the groove too!💖
The rounded corners on the badge make a 90's model
have you done something different? the sound was always quite good but this time it was blowing me away.
Dude absolute chops, amazing picket groove, super tasty
Dude your playing in this vids was SICK! I’ve watched your vids for years and your chips have really grown!
Dave stright killing it on this song that fill was fire
That whole kit sounds pretty amazing.
The whole kit sounds awesome. Agree with you about what would have been a cool place to stop sanding.
The playing was insane! Especially 06:11. The snare sounds sooo gooood.
Sounds good. However a little bit of snare ring is acceptable in my book. Especially with old Ludwig snare drums.
I think it looks great. And it sounds awesome.
Honestly I like the way it looks “rustic” or worn. And also the kick tho!
There’s a drum shop in Minneapolis called Twin Cities Drum Collective that does this. Theirs have more of a brushed finish. Sounds great!
I believe John Douglas (drum tech for Alex Van Halen) did something similar to Alex's supraphonic, which lead to the birth of the AVH signature snare
Love how you include the music in your plays. Love your vids man. Keep them up. Because of watching your dollar three videos, I’m inspired to find ways to fix my drum and improvise it to my liking. :)
You fucking killed this one. My favorite one of your snares for sure. Would love to see a sonor finish type snare.
idk I think it fits in with the rest of the kit pretty well (even though that kit's going away). Also, probably some of the best playing I've heard from you, nice stuff!
you make a drum sound great.
It sounds amazing!
Just wanna point out that, stylistically speaking, you are my favorite drummer to listen to. I have like half of your video library saved just for creative reference.
People can get mad all they want. Alex Van Halen did the exact same thing :)
His tech did it..😁
It sounds good and so do you.
Definitely want to see that crazy layer finish!
oh boy dat groove was something else
Did you make that play along track? And where can we get it?!
I would also love to know
You realize you will start having big name drummers hitting you up to fix their beat down gear and you'll be making new income. Love what your posting and respecting what your posting. Your playing better and better each Video.
Killer cymbals man 👌👌👌
Dang I love that sound.
That bass drum go BOOM
That's how a snare should sound like in my ears. God I wish I could get one for the studio.
I have a 76 supra and stripped the chrome off as well. I was going to try and buff it to shine. But I actually painted it black and put light bar bell type hardware on it. Looks rad, sounds as awesome as usual.
oh damn, I'm quick today. Loving these more chill videos!
Great job, 400 sounds fab, excellent groove.
Would be very interesting to see you spray painting this
It’s sound way better than I thought. I like it🤷🏽♂️. A lot 🤷🏽♂️
Looks Awesome !!
Yeah I would have stopped when you in hindsight wanted to stop aswell. Had a interesting look to it and would be cool with some polish on that red-ish patina.
Really love the tones here - very "elastic-y"
That's your second one, right?
Go crazy, hammer it, bet It would look amazing!!
As for the lowered pitch shell after hammering, we'll see, at least you'll get your Ludwig DavidPhonic unofficial signature model :)
cool track! Some cool licks in there.
That snare looks good with that vox kit
Hi David, I love your show, was just watching your latest post on the Ludwig Plastic snare and followed it up with this one. Your playing on that plastic snare video is great-good work! Can you tell me where you get the replacement grommet that you used for this Supra video? Thanks.
It looks better than the putting. Your playing has improved immensely since I first subbed 5 years ago.
Pitting, not putting.
you know, now that it's bare aluminum, you could slap together an anodizing setup. I've always wanted to see a purple anodized supraphonic
I had the same problem and sand blasted my supra. Worked great 👍
Oh and I really dug that track and how you played it, especially that fill at the end. Mighty fine chops RdavidR
I think it's cool how it turned out and that you like to experiment with different ideas.
What's a reasonable price for a Supra in your opinion? Maybe a 70's to 80's era. Gotta add one of these to my collection one of these days. Love your channel, peace and God bless in 2021
You have improved greatly. Good work. Hey, what drums are they? Love that chrome 🐊 pattern.
I've said this before and I'll say it again "You're a damn good drummer"!!
Boy.....am I GLAD I saw THIS video !!! I have the same, EXACT drum with the flaking chrome and was thinking of doing the SAME THING to mine !!! Now that I see the dismal result, I feel a better option would be to PAINT the bare shell with Rust o leum " Hand Hammered" spray paint made for metal outside furniture !! In the above attempt, it would have been better if the guy used the grinder to REMOVE all his EXCESSIVE BODY HAIR.......including the SHRUB on his FACE !!!!!!!
I would have used a burnishing tool, and a clear coat. It would look like the aluminum cowlings on The Spirit of St. Louis airplane.
Looks fab
I think if the hardware was painted satin black it would look sick as hell on that snare
Take a torch to it and blue it up. Like that guy who sent you the hand hammered “RdavidR” snare...😉
Love the drum but I also love how you approached the track and changed your playing as it went
Hey man. That would probably be a pretty good base for a tinted automotive clearcoat finish. OR...even a glitter coat if you know an automotive guy who's really good. If you did a glitter coat first in chrome glitter, the trick would be to create a turntable rig to hit it at a slight angle, so that the center feature gets properly coated on the first two passes, then finally on the third pass spray it dead on to even everything out. Bearing edge would need to be taped through that process, and then pull the tape and give the edge of the glitter coat a sand to make sure that there are no rough spots you can feel. Then clear or tint clearcoats.
You'd end up with something that looked like the slickest ever glitter wrap. Once you got the hardware back on it, it would be ludicrous. For a Supra, I think that would be a much more interesting option than a patina. You literally never see that type of shell with something that looks like a wrap, since it would be technically almost impossible to achieve at scale.
Pain is temporary, glory is forever
I just scored a nasty looking Supra similar to yours... the advice I got is to chemically remove the chrome and then get it clear-coated. I was told not to bother re-chroming it, as the alloy doesn't like chrome very much.
I’ll send you my 70’s Supra and you can make it however ya want. No rush either. 😉
Ugh, I once had a Supraphonic with about as serious a case of "Supracne" as this one. I tried a wire brush on a drill, sanding with various grits....finally wound up taking it to a plater and having the chrome taken off chemically. Then I had a friend bead blast it. I've seen people just get them flat enough and then use spray-on Plasti-Dip
Those drawers💥💥
in one part of the project it looks like a digital camo, i would love to see that haha, and u have the sticker printer, i think it would looks cool
"This video is kinda short"
lol, but still RIGHT at the 10 minute mark... i see you..
It sounds super snappy, it would probably be really good for metal
You should use an aluminum patina on it. Make it a true one of a kind.
that ride tho...
Yo that beat you demoed to at 4:50 ish sounds so inspired by Luchini (This is it). Absolutely 🔥
My thoughts exactly!
maybe a sandblaster would have removed all the chrome bringing it to bare aluminum as you planned
Not sure what it is, but that snare sounds extra good to me.
Your playing has come a long way man. Killer groove
That Ludwig badge is a little crooked. But hey that modified drum looks and sounds great!
Dude.... please tell me you are wearing a cartridge respirator while sanding....
Best sounding mix I've heard yet... that kit sounds absolutely killer
Yessir! aint no dust particles gonna try and kill me
I heard those triplets with the angle grinder, you can’t hide David.
When a Supra becomes an Acrolite. Nothing wrong with that!
Pardon, I meant Acrophonic. www.drumcenternh.com/ludwig-acrophonic-special-edition-snare-drum-14x6-5
And of course it sounds great
I think you should do a sonar look on a snare
Should have tried 0000 steel wool. It may not help with pitting but it can make stuff shine. I would have thrown glue in the badly blistered/pitted areas and then throw glitter at it to match whatever kit it was going with. That or rubbed some ash or something dark into the voids. I like the way it turned out though.
Definitely didn't ruin it! It now looks like the Alex Van Halen Supra but without the copper hardware... Or like a rat rod Ludalloy version of the Raw Brass Phonic. I think it looks way better all grinded up with an industrial look compared to the flaking before. Sounds killer regardless!
Not really a fan of the Saluda crash being paired with those other cymbals.
Dave, that ride 😩
😏
I love your videos
Oh the joys of a bead blaster! Wouldn't want to buy one for just an occasional finish stripping tough.....
You might try an aluminum sealer\primer and then powder paint. You did a lot of work but it required more to get to its original aluminum. Rest on it, then make a plan for a spray paint finish; many options....
I took a 5x14 Supra and gave it the Alex Van Halen treatment. I even put copper colored hardware on it. I have lots of pics and it’s a long story but it really turned out cool. Let me know if you are interested.
Did you get a more similar result to the van halen snare than rdavidr did in this video? And if so what did you do differently? Different grinding materials?
I like this sort of music very much. Who does the playalong-track? Is the music downloadable/for sale anywhere? Would be nice to listen to in the car or so.
Take the finish away, reduce the lugs and you basically have an Acrolite. Cool vid!
Hey! I would be interested to know how has the grinded supra been since the making of this video? I bought a old supra some years ago which was painted blue by the previous owner, and im thinking of grinding the paint off. Wondering how the bare aluminium looks after years of handling and exposure. Would greatly appreciate any info! And ps. This video is great, and very valuable to guys like me 😁 thanks!
Every good shop needs a sandblaster.
Bravo Pally!!! Love your channel. Love your playing and attitude toward gear. I have some vintage gear but it fell into my hands for cheap. I’ll only keep things that work vs chasing serial numbers like vintage collectors. Can anyone hear what year your instrument is on any recording? Lol I never keep anything that is a duplicate of something I already have either. Cheers and don’t change!
