this guy shares his knowledge and skills about drums. I just can't believe that people comment on dirty finger nails! wtf dirty finger nails are a sign of a working man. this guy goes out of his way to help other drummers and this is the thanks he gets? wtf is wrong with these people. is that all they noticed in this great video? I didn't want to say anything, but someone had to. keep up the great work man.
Yeah Erik99, I am agreeing 100%.... I just happened to bump into this channel today looking for a cheap pocket type kit I could get used, or a kit I could make out of a crappy used kit using it's16" floor tom for a kick and make a 12" or 13" snare out of one of it's rack toms that I could somehow attach to the homemade kick, slap a handle on it, throw a cheap throne, hat stand and a crash stand w 18" crash/ride into a bag so I don't tear my rotator cuff again schlepping my full kit around like I did 2 weeks ago, I have a feeling rdavidr is my guy, and this is definitely my go to from this point forward, subscribing and SMASHING the like button NOW! That lick at the end was "the business" too! I'll be back!
THIS! ALL of THIS!!! That kick drum sounds punchy with that pizza fabric, no muffling needed because the fabric muffles it perfectly to reduce bass drum overtones while letting the Attack and the Punch pound right through the mix. Outstanding!
There's no bell so I honestly don't think it would work. It wouldn't really sound trashy, it would sound like shit. Not even like the purposeful dirty, shit sound that trash stack cymbals have, just pure trash, probably not even worth pursuing but who knows maybe it sounds good
I gotta say, as a long time subscriber your video's quality grows exponentially David! Also, have you ever thought about making a video on your collection of vinyl? Maybe talk about a few of your favorite albums you own, or something along those lines? Just a thought!
Thanks for doing the searching man! Ironically I've seen it, and totally forgot about it. You're totally right though, I wanna see a more in-depth video lol
Probably my favorite video yet, and definitely my favorite drum you've built. Thank you for being so thorough in explaining your... "techniques" or at least talking through everything you do, even if it doesn't have a real good reason lol. Also, I bet that kick would sing a lot more if you let the beater bounce off of it, but that's just, like, my opinion man.
I appreciate all your hacks, projects and your humbleness. I have enjoyed everything, especially the electronic elevator music in the background of this video!
Dude you are the funniest and most informative drum-type guy I've ever seen. I've watched many of your videos and appreciate your honesty about the quality (or lack thereof) of what you're starting with. Just cracks me up. Keep 'em comin'...Thanks and blessings,Ed
I've got a 22x8 bass drum myself. Here on out, anyone who asks me what it sounds like, I'm just going to point them to this video. Nice job on the mod. Thanks for taking us on the journey. -b
The carpet actually gates the drum mechanically. Very clever way to not only get rid of sympathetic overtones, but add some real punch to the head sound.
Great video and that drum really came out nice! The contact wrap actually looks quite good and could be made more durable with a coat of polyurethane. The quick response punchiness is a nice sound and the fluffy reso just adds to it. Are you planning on cutting the rest of that kit down and making a compact travel kit, or was this just a "one-off" kind of project. Especially enjoyed your playing and groove in this video. Well done sir.
Another great video David, I've seen it at least 5 times now. I was reading an article a couple days ago about wrapping drums with inexpensive wrap like this and it said that after you get done with the wrap you should hit the drum with about four coats of poly and it will give it the appearance of a high dollar wrap, as well as help keep the wrap from wrinkling when remounting the hardware or putting tension on the heads.
Wow, you always try to tweak the littlest things in drums. You are good at playing and you are good at making thungs that I can't even thunk of even trying. I respect you and you inspire me to do the things just like you. I am a drummer myself and I respect you
Love all your videos! Watched them all and you inspired me to change my kit setup to a 4 piece, which I love so much more than my old 5 piece! Keep up the great work
Hey, you were saying you need a new table thing, there's this guy who makes all kinds of stuff like that including what you need. Its,"The King of Random" and I know its a pretty cringey name but his stuff is pretty legit.
Got it thank you.. @ 10:45 something flipped my lid so to speak.. looked easy enough but.. there must have been a loose wire in my head because it was tricky to get down and then get that feel you nailed.. Drumming is the only thing in my life that never got boring.. and the best part is that I have been a beginner for 56 years.. played with the best yes but it's the yearning to learn anew that keeps the heart beating.. Now don't get me going about the next licks on the vid.. very cool and thanks again.
Dave I honestly believe you have some of the best content on TH-cam. If I wasn't a broke ass college student I would blow up your Patreon like there was no tomorrow.
Hey David! This video you made inspired me to do this to my crappy drum kit. Thank you for making the video. My drum kit now looks much better than before.
I didn't know you could fix de-lamination like that .I own some Tama starclassic performers from many years ago when they made all birch shells. I must say they held up really well through my beatings. They have really matured nicely!

@@nono-lm7xv yes i think you guys should shut the fucking fuck up
The people who say this just don’t know how Fingers are looking after hard work .
Ikr.
Dude is literally wood working. No shit his hands get dirty.
kenneth kunie amen
Pizza Kick Drum... Bacon hats.... lol.... looks like the "food kit" is coming to life. Love the thump
The sad thing is that I have another food related drum build in the works. Totally unintentional.... grrrr

Right lol

The first man to have to vacuum a drumhead?
"i am using the absolute maximum capaci- OH GOD
that razor blade trick was sugar! Great vid!
Thanks dude!
Holy crap that little tool and “hack” to cut the reveal on the bearing edge was brilliant!!! Finished product sounds great!!!
THIS! ALL of THIS!!! That kick drum sounds punchy with that pizza fabric, no muffling needed because the fabric muffles it perfectly to reduce bass drum overtones while letting the Attack and the Punch pound right through the mix. Outstanding!
Rdavidr=the Casey Neistat of drums
haha true :D
You know whats up
yep
How? Doesn't he just vlog
Yah, I was just kinda thinkin the style and like, type of following and fan base haha
This gives me an idea.
Could you use a pizza PAN as a cymbal?
OR a pizza.
@@jezusmylord lol my moldy ass cheese out of the freezer
To be frank, that would probably sound suuuuper trashy, and be a super unique addition. You could also make a cool stack with assorted sizes.
There's no bell so I honestly don't think it would work. It wouldn't really sound trashy, it would sound like shit. Not even like the purposeful dirty, shit sound that trash stack cymbals have, just pure trash, probably not even worth pursuing but who knows maybe it sounds good
So awesome dude! Sounds great too!
thanks man! whats up with your little project you were telling me about? 0.o
I just got most of the shells! Super stoked.
Tire bass drum needs to happen
Eli Witt yes!
"I'm using the absolute maximum capacity of this..oh god" that was great
Now make a giant snare out of it!
I gotta say, as a long time subscriber your video's quality grows exponentially David!

Ikr I have always wanted to get a closer look at his collection!
I thought he made a video on his vinyl
drum room tour part 1 he talks about his vinyl, probably not to the extent you would want him to but at gives you an idea of what he has
Thanks for doing the searching man!

I've said this before...
You are de DiResta of drumming.
Greetings from Argentina
Dave, tell the story of that fabulous reso head
I love how you always have an answer for the haters lol I love it man, you've inspired me to try customizing old kits I don't like anymore
Looks like the paneling on the ol station wagon. Super 70's. Really diggin it!
Great vid Dave, keep up the great work!
This is the only channel on TH-cam that I actually wait for vids to come out on! 💙
! swear I just went back to the 70's awesome episode. Your attention to detail show people what they get when buying from you.thumbs up
I appreciate all your hacks, projects and your humbleness. I have enjoyed everything, especially the electronic elevator music in the background of this video!
Dude you are the funniest and most informative drum-type guy I've ever seen. I've watched many of your videos and appreciate your honesty about the quality (or lack thereof) of what you're starting with. Just cracks me up. Keep 'em comin'...Thanks and blessings,Ed
Man..the part when you play the tiny splash into the rhytmm is so bloody nice.
Love this channel! rdavidr you’ve got a new subscriber!
that bass drum is so beautiful, man
Wow, just wow! It looks like Sonor SQ2!
I've got a 22x8 bass drum myself. Here on out, anyone who asks me what it sounds like, I'm just going to point them to this video. Nice job on the mod. Thanks for taking us on the journey. -b
This is probably the most badass thing I've ever seen
saw your post on instagram and i knew this video was coming! great video as always dave!
Most visually pleasing kick I've ever seen. Excellent work!
That end segment was awesome! Right on man! :]
Not only are you good at working with your hands, but you're a really talented drummer
Drum key drill bit is the smartest thing I've ever seen
I love the way you edit your videos!
Blind NiggaSamurai Fuck! You got me
That fluffy bass drum head is fucking awesome
I need it
Your channel is so rad, man. I love seeing your ideas come to life!
The carpet actually gates the drum mechanically. Very clever way to not only get rid of sympathetic overtones, but add some real punch to the head sound.
honestly. for an alternative to repainting this is a really really cool idea!!
gosh the bass drum looks so good
Thanks for uploading. I needed a good video of cutting bass drums in half very urgent :)
That song at the end was killer!!!!
why do you not have more subscribers? this is really cool. Im looking forward to the suitcase drumset
This is my favorite project you've done yet i love how the drum looks
I just love what you do. I get so excited when I watch your work.
Sick beat transitions at the end man. Cheers.
Sick man, this puppy needs a matching set ! Good job David, I always look forward for your videos !
Awesome!!! I think this is the first time your lug layout didn't get all messed up when you cut down a drum
Great video and that drum really came out nice! The contact wrap actually looks quite good and could be made more durable with a coat of polyurethane. The quick response punchiness is a nice sound and the fluffy reso just adds to it. Are you planning on cutting the rest of that kit down and making a compact travel kit, or was this just a "one-off" kind of project. Especially enjoyed your playing and groove in this video. Well done sir.
Thanks! but I have a a lot of shell cut offs, so ill try to think of something cool to do with them
The carpet is awesome! Might be doing mine
Another great video David, I've seen it at least 5 times now.

That wrap looks really good
The bass drum came out great. I've been drumming for years, with only one kit, that was changed so many times applying contact paper.
Wow, you always try to tweak the littlest things in drums. You are good at playing and you are good at making thungs that I can't even thunk of even trying. I respect you and you inspire me to do the things just like you. I am a drummer myself and I respect you
it looks absolutely amazing!
Damn, that resonant head is awesome
Damn, this kick souns pretty well, it's a beauty man; good work.
A whole drum kit with that rap whodunnit be nice 👍🏻
Nice Work and the figures u played at 11:28 were also really nice!
Love all your videos! Watched them all and you inspired me to change my kit setup to a 4 piece, which I love so much more than my old 5 piece! Keep up the great work
It looks really good, and tbh it doesn’t matter if it’s real venire paper or not it’s still a drum and if done carefully then it will look good
it cracks me up seeing someone else cobble things together using razor blades and blue tape
I love this wrap man; also that fill at the end was badass!
looks super sharp! Love the fuzzy head too.
everything you make is so damn dope

Hey, you were saying you need a new table thing, there's this guy who makes all kinds of stuff like that including what you need. Its,"The King of Random" and I know its a pretty cringey name but his stuff is pretty legit.

Love your channel! Lots of great content
That fuzzy kick is VERY visual! I like it!

Now that’s a deep dish. Nice man
Got it thank you.. @ 10:45 something flipped my lid so to speak.. looked easy enough but.. there must have been a loose wire in my head because it was tricky to get down and then get that feel you nailed.. Drumming is the only thing in my life that never got boring.. and the best part is that I have been a beginner for 56 years.. played with the best yes but it's the yearning to learn anew that keeps the heart beating.. Now don't get me going about the next licks on the vid.. very cool and thanks again.

how uch more original can you get? level 100% amazing work and drum playing sir!
cool video, nicely sped up where it was needed, great detail also, big thumbs up, cool grooves too!
Nice little project. You definitely made lemonade out of lemons!
I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Way to go, rdavidr!
you deserve 1 million subs man
I love the fuzzy head!
Hey David! This video you made inspired me to do this to my crappy drum kit. Thank you for making the video. My drum kit now looks much better than before.
Love your videos man, it's definitely got a piece of you in it especially in the editing style.
GODDAMNIT DAVID, NOW I WANT SOME DOMINOE'S!
Damn bro. MAD.
I love it.
I didn't know you could fix de-lamination like that .I own some Tama starclassic performers from many years ago when they made all birch shells. I must say they held up really well through my beatings. They have really matured nicely!
Excellent video man! Love you work.
Killin' it! Awesome dude!
Am I the only one who loves how the fur/fuzz on the bass drum head vibrates when it plays
That reso head it's awful as hell maaaaan ): But the finish of the drum looks very professional!
It's freaking terrible
I think it looks dope
it's so ugly that it's awesome
jimmy situation I just dig the psych look it gives off
You are creative,skilled,and a good person and drummer...
Pretty rad! Love the break down at the end of the tune too.
The drum looks amazing. Really enjoy your videos and proudly have your sticker on my kick drum.
Great little groove exercise, David! Sounded super cool.
Looks great and sounds good
turned out super nice
cool kick.I also enjoyed the demonstration
Youre sick dude, definitely need more subs.
loving this video I wish I recorded my process with my Ludwig maple snare, thanx for the upload brother
Nice one. Looks proper. I like them shallow bass drums.
some sick beats you've got going on there man :)
