- I built an entire set of eight Octobans from PVC pipe. Here's my tutorial. I also created a rack on this video to mount them on.
I sincerely hope you never have a heart attack or medical emergency back there because the fire department would have to use the Jaws of Life to pry you out of that rig! Wow!
LMAO!!! Worse ways to go than playing the drums.
I had this idea years ago, the moment I saw them at Guitar Center. I'm definitely going to make a set with black pvc and black textured paint.
I had an original set once that were all black. I had them custom-painted at a local paint shop.
Wow your set up is amazing its like being in the 80s or 70s beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Epic drumset dude!
Looks like so much fun to play
Yes, it is thank you.
The hardest part of this kind of thing is finding pipe measured in outside diameter. Most pvc is inside diameter for flowrate calculations. So if you buy pipe, beware you may need to double check outside diameter because you may find that you buy pipe that says it’s the size of your batter head, but it turns out to be a different size.
Right, that's why I mentioned that in the video also.
@@hoochrocks😂 nice haha
That is a very cool drum set.
Thank you.
Cool..this kinda kit looks like something Alex VH or Niel would create..right on!
Thank you
Wow!!!!...amazing drum kit my friend!!!!!....it's a "monster"....LOL!!!\m/
That's what she said. LOL
I've been wanting to make a tube pipe piccolo snare like this for playing grindcore and blast beats
That sounds awesome.
Dude awesome haha I was thnking about making something like this or an entire set from sewer pipe.
You can't go wrong making drums from any material as long as you can hit something when you are done.
@@hoochrocks case in point, th-cam.com/video/J-FhLn0Jflo/w-d-xo.html
Looks and sounds great
..
Thank you
This is coming from a guy with a considerably large drum set: How the hell do you use all this?!
Watch my cover videos. I do use it all. Not on every song, but as I feel it is useful.
hoochrocks Ok, cool. What do you cover, Bozzio era Frank Zappa? Nah, just kidding ;)
No, mostly Neil Diamond & The Carpenters. LOL
What, no cowbell! Great job on those home made Octos!
I have a cowbell. It's signed by Blue Oyster Cult band members.
Next video: Build Your Own Cymbals, DIY Your Own Cymbals B20 Bronze Hammer Finished. Lol.
Impressive because you made these from scratch.
That would be cool. I wonder if anyone has done that kind of video.
hoochrocks lance Campeau a bit
drumset is amazing
Thank you
mark temperato and terry bozzio approve this kit
YES!
Nice job I dig the red!!
Thank you.
love it looks and sound great !!!
:)
You got your little drum jail cell there
I have the key though.
this is awesome, but I am not able to locate any 5" PVC. Does anyone know where I can find it in Alberta, Canada?

Ask a construction site foreman if you could dig in the sites bin for a few minutes .,It's free that way,just a thought.
Do you have any tip for how to measure and place the lugs so that when I tighten the nut on drum hoop, there's is no need to drill new holes place the lug a little below
2:40 Screw one lug into the housing a few turns, and place a mark where the two screw holes are on the shell. Measure those distances from the edge of the shell, and do exactly the same on the other lug locations.
Thankyou for the explanation.
I apologise for asking the same thing when you have already explained it clearly in the video.
@@Sam_Gowman No problem. I could have been more clear.
@@hoochrocks Thanks again 🙏🏻
where did you buy the heads and rims and stuff? sick drums
If you watch the Octoban construction video on my channel, it goes into the hardware, Etc. I truly don't remember the name of the online store, but it's in the video.
Hooch I've been to a few different supply houses in my area. 5" PVC, schedule 20 is hard to find.
It can be. I was lucky.
FlexPVC.com is where I found mine
What did you do for the drum bearing edge? I'm thinking of doing this so I can get some Bill Bruford sounds on my kit.
Rounded them off with a file.
Very interesting. I would like to have seen videos of marking and drilling the holes for the lugs and the U clamps. Also showing what you did with the bearing edges. A page outlining parts and costs of parts and where ytou got them would also have been useful. Ive just seen that ou can buy a set of 4 ready made octobans (high) for £123. and low set for £175.on line How does that compare to buyig pipe and all the parts and heads and work involved?
My assumption is that anyone taking on a project like this can use a tape measure to mark holes. I also discussed the hardware below with links to www.drumfactorydirect.com The pipe cost will depend on where you purchase the pipe, so it's up to the builder to decide if they want to build or buy something pre-made.
How much would you say it would cost to make 6? And also are they able to be tuned higher and louder? And did you also put 6" heads on 5 inch pvc pipe? I just want to make sure i get the correct head sizes.
Also great video and very helpful. I've been trying to find a video like this.
Yes, 6" heads on 5 inch pvc. It's been a few years, and the pipe supplier you purchase from will determine that piece of it. The rims, lugs, heads are all listed on the drum site I purchased them from in the description, so you can do your closest estimate. I guarantee though, it will be MUCH lower than a new set.
Aku sangat suka
감사합니다
Awesome.
:)
I'm gonna make them out of clear acrylic plex
That is quite awesome. I couldn't find that material anywhere.
pretty cool, i've done this as well. i'm curious why you only used one size head? (i'm guessing it's just cheaper to buy the one pipe and cut to different lengths). i only made two (6" and 8"). nice work, man
I wanted a full set of 8. I also made a 8" Tom, but it's double-headed. I made a 6.5" tom also.
hoochrocks nice
Great video very helpful.I just ordered a 10 foot pipe of Schedule 40 pvc white,very hard to find here in Canada but lucky one shop had a piece and has shipped it to me.How did you do the bearing edges? did you round over by hand? and where did you get the 6'' rims.I am sure the normal 6'' PVC pipe from home depot is to large to fit the 6'' heads but i did not even try it.;Thank you the great information they look great.I have build my own kits,they are on my channel.Subbed.
I hand filed the edges just a small bit. The site for rims and heads is somewhere below. I will check.
DrumFactoryDirect.com
In the video you say it's 5" pipe. Is that outside diameter or inside? This stuff is tough to find but I'd really like to locate it. Thanks for the video! DIY is the way to go and it's fun too! Keep em coming.
It is tough to find. I went to a conduit distributor. It's 5" inside diameter.
hoochrocks
You know it. I looked online and even distributors say that it's a rare size! Maybe I'll check local and have luck with that. I've got the building bug now. Thanks dude!
I would love to see your drums when you are done. Feel free to post your video link on this page. Have fun.
Pipe is always specified by inside diameter because the spec is based on how much flows through it at a given input pressure. A plumber can then calculate the outside diameter by that and the wall thickness for clearance purposes.
Do you suggestions where to purchase the pvc pipes so they could be shipped worldwide? Europe and UK would be suitable aswell but I had a hard time finding something that had an OD of 6 inches and be affordable at the same time
www.consumerspipe.com/
fantastic build, but they're octobans, not octobons.
He was thinking about Cinnabons. Ha ha! Hell...now I want some damn cinnamon rolls... ;-)
What a creativity friends
Thank you.
Great Video!! What length on the tension rods? Thanks
From rim to lug I just measured 3" so 3.5" or 4" I believe.
Amazing!
Thank you :)
i made them of 160mm pvc pipes. and saw a 31 mm strip out of them so i came at 150mm [6 inch] i have pictures of them [buildproces] if anybody is interested ;)
Yes, that would be cool.
Nice!
Thanks again.
Do a Cover on your whole set
I have many on my channel
👍👍👍👍
Thanks
that is great
Thanks.
made them myself 8 years ago ;)
Excellent.
How do you move this to the gig??? Do you have a Box Truck?
I don't gig anymore. I played live for nearly 30 years.
Do you build these for drummers, by any chance?
No, my hope was that others would be inspired to create some themselves.
No live kit, that´s for sure.
I retired from live performance a few years ago after playing a lot for over 25 years. I only play at home now.
Around how much did it cost to make these?
It's been awhile, but if I remember correctly the tubing was around $120 for everything. With rims , heads and hardware I believe it was less than $300
@@hoochrocks thank you
I'm having a hard time finding the rims & heads you used, or anything to fit these sized drums any input would be great! Thanks

Where do you purchase this pipe online?
I'm not sure. I went to a local pipe manufacturer.
What diameter is the pipe ? thanks
5" I.D. 5.5" O.D.
wow too much for me :D
Lol, but imagine how good songs you could do after you build your 1 million piece drum set!!!
Your kit is ridiculous and great at the same time
Thanks.
What's the measurement placement of the lugs that you mounted on the octagons?
I used the rim holes as the guide.
What size are the heads?
6"
8:30 you have a picture that is what I want. Is a 3 octaves tube drums instrument. Where can I have more info about that ? thanks.
If you google boobam, you can find the seller. They are in Europe. They may only rent them.
hoochrocks Thanks you really help me. I enjoy your videos. Best regards from Uruguay.
Thank you. If you get the Boobams, please make a video. I'd love to see them played.
hoochrocks I have a big drumset and a homemade marimba. We are make another better marimba with aluminim tubes. I play easy songs with marimba and drums at the same time. I want to make homemade boobams someday. I share to you. Big hugs. Tito from Uruguay.
That's awesome. Is your marimba on your channel?
What bearing edge degree did you use on the Octobans?
You can decide that one for yourself.
The pipe that you used, is it schedule 40 or 80
Schedule 40
Did you have to make a bearing edge?
I filed the edge
@@hoochrocks What did you file it with? Thanks
@@jacksonagar7315 A regular file & sanded it after
Did you cut bearing edges in these?
I sanded them, and that's all. The drums have played great for over a year. Tune fine.
Did you cut bearing edges on them? all those drums and only a single bass drum, dude common!!
No, the edges work fine flat. I had double bass drums for years, but found the single with double pedal to be more my style.
hoochrocks Saw Heart back in early 70’s and the drummer had only one bass drum and he played using a 69 Ludwig speed king pedal and a Ludwig bass drum. On “Barracuda” he played triplets. OMG Today’s kids are such whiners. Great set and creativity on your part
No bearing edge on your pipe?
I filed it a slight bit, but not much.
very cool idea!!! but too many drums for me....
Like my shirt says. "Never too many drums"
My lord look at that drum kit, jesus Christ! Basd ass diy!!
Jesus is much better than my drum set.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥁🔥
Just looking at his drum kit it must be a bitch to tune all of those drum
Yeah
octopi
Having eight arms would be perfect for these!
Math ? Math ? I don't think so.
LOL
