The pricing shown in the video is all of the products added together up until that point, so we did build the pad for less than 10 bucks! Just in case there was some confusion. :)
Bought a can of Flex Seal and made 6 pads out of 1 can about 8" in diameter, 1/4" thick. The bounce response is so great, you have to be careful not to knock your eye out. $30 per can but comes out to $5 per pad surface, plus scrap plywood.
Good stuff. I found anything less than 1/4” or thicker neoprene rubber was worthless. All my sticks did was push through the thinner stuff and I’d be hitting wood. One good thing about this thinner material is you can layer cotton batting under it for a pad that has very little bounce for muscle memory work. Great DIY stuff here, man!
Car mudflaps make a nice practice surface. Especially the thick ones they put on trucks. Lots of old wrecks out there with free practice pads still attached to them.
Marching bass? I imagine you could get a 14" long piece of wood maybe 1.5"x1.5" thick and glue one of these pads to each end, then contrive some sort of stand or harness for it. Maybe drill a hole in it and stick in a dowel that's the thickness of the top part of a cymbal stand so you can use it in a cymbal stand.
If you're using a kick pedal, from what I hear (I only got into drums during this quarantine), you can use an old mattress to beat the head into, and apparently it doesn't feel too far off from a real kick drum.
the cheapest(! to 15$) place mats or "welcome" floor mats use a thicker version of the mouse pad material. Its spendier than the 10$ budget, but you can make a lot more pads.
You don’t even necessarily need the glue or the wood board. You could just put the foam on a sidewalk/road/big rock if you’re outside or on the floor or a table if you’re inside
Sanding a little bit the cutting board also can make it stick better. I havent tried this, so I'm not talking from an experience, but the down side might be the bounce that you get. I have used a bascket ball between my legs and the bounce It's adjustable with the air in it and the pressure that yo aply with your legs. Worth trying if you practice at home and have a ball layig arround.
Damn. If only my QT mouse mat wasn't nice it would be awesome for this. I got the extra thick medium size as well so I bet I could just slap it on some hard surface and be fine. My desk feels like it is taking too much away.
Want a practice drum pad for under $5? See if your local dollar store or online store has Silly Putty egg -- double or giant size ... Or buy a few for $1.25. Yes. This non-newtonian fluid makes a perfect practice drum pad. Just flatten the putty out to about 1/4" thick patty and slap it on a table or chair. Take it with you on the road with your sticks. The egg makes a nice compact travel case, and saves space of you have a small room or apartment. Done.
@Michael O'Hara - yep, that's what we like. Coupla piezos and some screened cable it makes a good trigger pad too. Foam not so good for triggering imho.
I brought this drum pad in school to practice my rudiments, then everyone gatnered up and wanting lessons from me. Which kinda annoyed me coz they barely cant learn the first most basic thing to do😑 i even tried teach them how to use the hihat and snare first. I thought drums was easy for them...

Drumeo Still confused 😄
Drumeo WHAT???
Drumeo first item $4 second item $4 and third $1.25 = $9.25 (less than $10) I knew math class would come in handy someday 😂
Definitely was confused
@@ChrisBairDrums Well most likely + 13% tax if they are in Ontario.
I just walk around with drumsticks blastbeating everything in my way. My wife and kids will love this. Cheers
Looks around: a wooden chair, a cat, some glue... let's get creative.
Oh god
Now let's all agree. to never be creative again!
@@user-sz4bf3uq6u how are you varified?

Them chops at 5:05 👌
Scary.
I’m so tired of having bruises on my knees from practicing, thank you so much
Haha same😅😂
i need to see the behind the scenes because i know it took a couple takes to film the intro of yall throwing sticks and drums pads at this man lol
To could also just use a hardback book with a mouse pad on it. That's what I've been doing and it works pretty well
My dollar store isn't that fancy lol
SwiftMustangs it’s dollarama in canada
Wonwoo’s Mingyu yeah we have dollar tree in america and it doesn’t have half of those things i saw in that store💀
The drum sticks flying everywhere was pretty funny.
"like a mouse pad"
*looks at mouse pad*
How badly do I want this

My friend did this and now his dad's wet suit for diving has two big holes in it , LOL 😃
Were the "two big holes" in the "cheeks" area!? 😁😆😁
I Need a tutorial about how to make a bass drum practice pad🙏🏼

@@calatwork7308 seems like it would be a pretty large and impractical practice pad but that’s better than noise complaints
@@boblobgobstopper13214 I mean, if it's for the bass pedal, you can just prop it up against the wall

Put it in the road and kneel down and play on it.. Let us know how that goes for you👍🏻😉
Gage Pine I sit on the ground with my legs out and my drum pad between them to practice all the time
Next video should be about "how to make your own pad stand." Just an idea , I am just saying :D
just use a snare stand.
@@autolysia Drill no holes, nail the screws in. It'll be perfect.
Yes l tried mouse pad work very well🥁🥁🇨🇦🇨🇦
the beggining of the video is so original - insta like
Thank you very much, the mouse pad has been an amazing alternative for me.
What kind of drum sticks should I get for my practice pad?
junktube4000 Chopsticks work.
It definitely depends on personal preference, but I like 8D’s
junktube4000 Drum sticks
DD's

This would help with accuracy as if you get to far out they would rebound funny. Very creative
Man intro is 10/10
Your chops are more impressive than the pad. And yes the pad sounds awesome.
What about turntable slipmats? Would that work in terms of bouncy surface?
great. now I'm gonna start a company making snare pads
Laptop Bag 4$, Cutting Board 8$, Super Glue 9.25$ ? It confused me really hard...
awesome production!
Amazing, cool, awesome i loved it
god bless Thanks for helping i made mine for 3 Dollars total !
That Moeller technique though
I need a tutorial on how to make a tenor practice pad 🙏
Thanks for the help! good video
cool tutorial, thanks
Do the same thing except in an upside down plastic frisbee. Only costs $1 and the edge acts like a drum rim for rim shots and cross sticking.
YHEEEEIII!!! my own practice pad YHEEEEEII!!!
Hell yes ! But will it respond properly?
Gonna make one .
Thanks man
Does anyone know that music track in the background at 1:42?
More Impressed w this guys stick control. Who’s the drummer?
5:04 I mean mate u don't really need a practic pad but sure
If he got these skills is because he practice at a pad! Sure he need
Dumb logic

Merrrhn this guy is really fast with the traditional grip

Mans got hands
What about fabric paper or all types of paper can glue to the cutting paper to make a practice pad also to attach?
Is that similar to the backside of the Vic Firth stock or slim pad
@Drumeo What's the name of your dollar store or were you really at Walmart or Target?
I would've left the cheese side exposed
Is that suitable for marching drummers?
Rrally good idea
While using mouse pad which side to put up the rubber one or the cloth one
Can’t you just go to Walmart or arts and craft store and buy the foam sheets ??🤔
Foam sheets are very brittle and crunchy, wouldn't work for practice pads as hickory or maple ( stick material) are very hard
Idk can you?
Awesome idea, wish i saw this before i spent all that money.
John Lopez no spend the money on a good practice pad😂
Nice sticking bro!
This would work for a bass drum practice pad for muscle development right ?
I would assume so, you'd just need to set it up like a bass drum (put them uhhh, 10-16 inches or whatever size your bass drum is wide)
Good idea!
Awesome! 💓
fan tas tic - thank you - very inspiring
My practice pad was $30.00 tho
Great idea !!!!, now what about a stand ??????
Wow I should make one
Super cool!!!
This owesome!
would an old skateboard suffice?
Cheese...lol !! 😂😂 But really great idea.
Wait why would you wear sunglasses inside😂
You obviously don't know drummers
bien joué ! Je fonce acheter ce qu'il faut ! ;-)
Next one do a How to use basic lighting?
The mouse pad is also applicable or not??
Do more like this please
What size of head is this?
That was awesome! It looks great!!
thanks you, bery very useful xD
Reuben!
The drumeo pad does not look like itsll be good for marching sticks?
hmu Philly no that is for set players definitely get a normal pad
I would probably get those block erasers and glue them to a circular piece of wood all conected
That is if I waanted to do good rolls
I noticed ur right arm sticks out from ur body but left arm does not.?
Something's wrong. I followed all the steps; but, I still sucks when it comes to play rudiments on a park bench...
I literally just flipped my mouse pad over onto a table and boom $0 spent lmao
Can you use a mouse pad instead
I used some diapers and a trashcan lid.
I used a piece of wood and a canvas
I used a frying pan and added some grass on top
Cardboard box, two storage boxes, thick text book sometimes throw a paper napkin on it, rubber banks of pool table. I'm ok with it.
Ωραία χέρια μάστορα!!!
Drummer name .?
A pc of rubber, like a truck mud flap, works best.
@Michael O'Hara - yep, that's what we like. Coupla piezos and some screened cable it makes a good trigger pad too. Foam not so good for triggering imho.
What if I use an actual mousepad?
then you use an actual mousepad
Be sure it’s a thick one. Quarter inch or better.
I’ve used the thinner ones and it felt like I was just hitting the wood underneath.
Aren't practice pads around ten dollars?
Good pads are around 40-50€ here in Europe at least.
Jon um... truly shitty ones. Ones worse than what you would make yes. Generally they hover around 40 and up though
"Ones worse than you would make" You dont know that
Old car tire or any might work too... Hihihi
Nice!
Interesting.
I turned an old drum pad into one,
I brought this drum pad in school to practice my rudiments, then everyone gatnered up and wanting lessons from me. Which kinda annoyed me coz they barely cant learn the first most basic thing to do😑 i even tried teach them how to use the hihat and snare first. I thought drums was easy for them...
My practice pad was 18 bucks tho....
Carlo Marcelo www.guitarcenter.com/Vater/Chop-Builder-Practice-Pad.gc
And you still suck
bruh i just use my pillow💀
dope
I thought the store was called DOllar store? naughty
I would send the word just a little bit so the glue wood stick better
On the wood I would use a little bit of sandpaper just so the glue sticks better other than that great job
Go to a fabric store and buy 12" length of neoprene rather than buying a laptop bag to cut up. Save more money.
jajaja great intro
