Tim - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Killer work! Some green bass drum hoop inlays would really tie the whole thing together👌
I never even thought about hardware beyond the basic stuff I had from the junk kit. that's a great idea. thanks!
I was wondering if you would see this video…
@@malonedrum David and I were talking about this years ago. He's been with me since the start :)
when i saw it was drum diy and green i hoped Rdavidr find it
I was half expecting you to walk in and be the drummer at the end of the video!
Can u make a vocalist out of a reclaimed canoe please.
😂😂😂
What...? Kanoo or kangoo?
A reclaimed Kangoo would fit better for its got a big tail and big bag😂
When one of your buds plays an instrument you made and they're all grins, you know you did good! Stellar cans my dude!
truth. Well, to be fair, Donny is just one of those smiley, positive types - which is one of the reasons why we're friends.
That paper template for marking out the holes for the hardware was really ingenious
So now when you get the band together to play "The Doors".....it means something completely different. There's a LOT of science to drum building..... and your first effort is valiant.
As a drummer who's followed your work for years, I gotta say this was a VERY welcome surprise. Couldn't even wait to finish watching before commenting, that's how excited I am! Cheers from north of the border.
awesome! I've been trying to get the time and budget to make this for well over two years! I'm glad it took this long, tho, as I think the results are better now than they would have been then.
@@timsway Sometimes things just work out like that! At any rate the end result is glorious and very well worth the wait.
I may watch this later. Got to the 6:20 mark and couldn't believe that he wasn't going to try and steam bend those. That's the way it is done.
@@MortonLuvz2drum can't steam bend plies that are already glued without them separating and getting wrecked. That's the challenge of reclaiming old doors - and fun!
@@timsway Good point.
Hollow core doors remind me of all the roach Haven motels I lived in as a child good times.
What you did was way more impressive and impactful than most of the so-called “custom” drum makers out there who buy shells from Keller, hire an experienced artist to apply a polyester finish, assemble with commodity hardware, and charge $4K for a 3-pc. Just awesome.
I knew you would do these justice going in, as you always do, and i am still surprised how well they turned out. They sound great. Kudos to your buddy for the slick beats and tuning too make them come alive!
Loved every minute of it! Can't wait to hear and see the studio sessions.
This is really awesome! We had a old birch drum kit in our house when the kids were growing. We actually had a lot of instruments. We just wanted to have instruments around,just for enrichment. Maybe one of them would find interest and try and learn to really play something. Great video! Love everything you do Tim! Keep it up! Peace ☮️
thanks man. Having a house full of instruments is a great idea for child development. My 11 year old son drifts in and out of interest in them (heavy interest starting now). I've never forced it on him like a chore, I just leave it available and nurture the interest when it's there.
This is just delightful, man. Loved it through and through. The kit looks incredibly good and I think it sounds great too!
thank you!
"The hollow cores" sounds like a good band.
Hollow Core is the style of music the band plays as I hope the genre grows beyond my work! The band name itself TBD. Leaning towards "Threshold."
@@timsway, How's 'bout "The Plies"? [Er, "The Ply's"?]
@@johnbesharian9965 I like that...
In thru the out door.... Again
As a drummer, I wasn't expecting this, but wishing for it. The drums turned out great! Love that combination of the green and the wood finish.
Fun little jam at the end.
Can't wait to hear the whole hollow core band.
neither can I
My son and I are luthiers. You're right. Like you, we started off learning how to make guitars by taking apart old ones lying around the house. In our case, I had a cheap Strat knock off that we took apart. Then I bought a couple of books on guitar making from Amazon. Now, we make custom guitars, both solid bodies and acoustics. We even learned how to wind killer pick ups. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Cheers from the Philippines.
All manufacturing companies
I.E. Yamaha, Ludwig, DW, Sonar all have different methods of making a drum shell.... You're design for drum shells was nothing compared to these drum giants. But , you knocked it out the park. Cheap hardware
and reclaim wood.
Sounds good and look good.
Good job!! Remo heads for free , nice touch.
Good stuff as usual. This made me realize that I can make a Bohdran out of a Nordic drum shell and other off the shelf parts. Thanks!✌️🌞😎🎻
Part of the reason you aren't getting the snare sound you want is that you are using a 2 ply pinstripe head on the snare top. Switch it to a coated ambassador and it will increase the sensitivity. Also having so few lugs and low end lugs on the snare also is a factor.
That being said, they do sound really good, that kick especially
That's a great point!!
Makes sense. Love the toms, though!
Now that was a very impressive build Tim! Not only is that a great looking Drum set but it also sounds great. Your skills never cease to amaze buddy! 👍👍👏👏
Building drums is a blast. Very satisfying.
Whoa this was awesome. What a giant build. Drums look and sound great. Learned a little how drums work too. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Awesome job! Toms sound slamming and the snare has such a distinct, controlled bite.
Great job Tim...you never cease to amaze!
Killer job! Josh Freese, Brooks Wackerman, Bill Stevenson, Dave Mello, and hundreds of other drummers would be happy to have a set that nice!
Such a fun project. As proof of concept, I'd say you nailed it. When I worked in the instrument repair shop, one of my jobs was to replace heads and hardware on the drums. Had no idea what I was doing tuning the heads, other than making them consistent. It always impresses me to see the changes that are achievable by somebody who does actually know what they are doing. These drums look and sound great! Next hollow core door instrument? Clarinet might be kind of tricky... Thanks for sharing!
Love seeing the process here! Lucky score on those nice doors. When your friend tuned up the snare it was pretty cool to hear the difference!
yea, there's a huge difference on what any instrument can do in the hands of someone who really understands it.
Beautiful work. Loved seeing your take on making this.
That Sir is awesome! As a drummer myself, that is fantastic that you were able to pull that off with some old doors ha. Amazing!
Like always Tim, great, innovative work. You are a master repurposer.
And your drummer friend is awesome.
Simply awesome…. Donny is the man!!
These turned out great! I can't believe how good they sound.
I was skeptical of the green at first but it looks nice next to the lighter wood tone.
Glad to see you finally made a drum kit, Tim. It sounds great, friend! :)
This all goes to show that ~~ "even if you are Left-Handed"~~ you can still
MAKE AMAZING STUFF!! Props to you Young Man. Mad Skills.
That's one happy drummer's smile that I see.
'Are we gonna do a performance on these instruments together?'
Man, that's a compliment that is for realz!
Awesome job, Sir!!! They sound great for being recycled doors!
Bold project to tackle. Nice work!
Wow, Tim they look AWESOME! well done
You deserve a million views if energy and time are considered in the making of this!! I'm halfway thru and tired just watching. GOOD LUCK my Man.
PEACE.
Nice work, I build and modify drums, and I never considered your method of making a template out of paper for the hole layout. That’s a very low tech way to do something like that efficiently and accurately. Cheers!
Glad to help! Seemed easier than doing the math. Lol
@@timsway I use a layout mat I got for free, but obviously in your position I don’t expect you have templates lying around for this kind of thing. Cool idea.
Have you ever seen segment and stave shell drum building? You could probably build one of those with little experience on shell construction.
@@malonedrum yes, I'm familiar with stave drums. I wouldn't mind doing something like that
Man, you’ve earned my like and my follow, good job, love that raw vintage sound
Very cool job. I think that your drummer friend was very impressed with what you achieved
Cool build man! Loved it.
Wow !!! I really liked that work ! Sounds nice too !
This was about the coolest thing EVER-
not crazy about the 'Exorcist Green' paint color, lol, but thats your thing-
I painted for about 35 years and you did a fine job.
If i didnt already have the Taiwan made John Bonham silver sparkle Ludwigs id be looking at these Luan doors from the 60s im about to drag to the street very differently right now.
Im also busy with other projects so im lucky to have time to play em at all.
But ive got to say- i really LOVE DIY and good old American ingenuity, and youve got em both in spades.
And your buddy on drums there did a GREAT job tuning them up and playing some hot licks on them.
You made them way better than they ever would have been originally, cos ive owned some real junk in the past, and its not easy.
Ive gone as far as stripping them and re finishing several kits and they didnt come out as well.
Good on ya and thanks for 30 minutes well spent.
Now to drag these doors to the curb-
Great video explaining measurements and cutting diameters very educational good job on the drum.
incredible job, it sounds really good. And your friend is a really good drummer
That's so cool, nice looking set!
This is one of the absolute best videos I've ever seen. From zero to a working kit. I can't tell you how great this was.
thanks!
Awesome job! The door knobs!
You are my hero! You did something I've been thinking about for years. Drums sound great, and the snare would sound even better with some coated head, e.g. Remo Ambassador or CS Coated Black Dot.
You're right I wouldn't have dismantled a good set of drums to do what you did but they turned out good. You definitely got them for the right price.
Very nice work. Ive made a couple snare drums in my past but never the whole kit. I recently switched to electronic drums and ill never look back. When i had acoustic drums i spent 80 percent of my time tuning and twaeking to get the sound i never found.
Hi ! Not only are you talented as a drum kit builder / creator but, you are also a very gifted drummer ! What more can one pray for??? God Bless ! Talent, skill, workmanship. . . You have it all ! Continue well ! I enjoyed your video very much. . .
lots of Credit and thumbs Up to you ! I’m a retired WoodWorker and over the years i did many Side Jobs for Customers wanting to replace flat Hollow Core doors for the Newer look of 6 Panel Ones of course i had to do it myself as it helped put Food onmy Table but i always explained that they were basically replacing real Wood doors with Ground up Wood and Recycled NewsPaper and Cardboard ones they usually didn’t care and just wanted to Update their aging home to a newer look for resale ? for me it was Easy Money as i have all the Equipment and did Solid Core Commercial Doors for Years so carrying lightweight ones were easy and almost enjoyable to do on my day off
I hope there are many Tim Sways out there, repurposing unloved wood.
What a great philosophy you have regarding recycling.
Looks great! Sounds great! Nice job!
I love it! And the sound is amazing
sounds & looks rad!
Excellent job my friend I think you did fantastic work. 👍👍
Tim. This is awesome!
That was awesome! Great job!
That sunset looks so sick in the background !! Looks super nuclear ! Goes perfect with the song . Very my bro .
This video deserves a million+ views. Great wood work.
That wood is either Birch or Myrtle. Both are popular woods for making hollow core doors from. Neat idea, though, to create drum shells from closet door skins. -b
I dont agree.. the kit you built is of superior quality to the one you dismantled... Truly amazing work... you prove that "just doing it" can take you places you never thought possible..
I would love to see you make another kit out of some more exotic woods..
just is just all so great
Awesome
Been a session/touring drummer for over 40 years and have never played anything outside Drum-workshop. At least tracking and live performance. Right off the top I figured the sound was going to be dreadful with this build, but it was a very pleasant surprise to hear that the sound is very good. Birtch wood has a very fast attack with resonance/sustain cut usually shy just about a 3rd. of a note. This is what I believe I am hearing. Maple on the other hand is much bolder with a bit more warmth and sustain. Very creative, great craftsmanship and great sound. I give it a 10! 👍
Amazing work as always.
Hey Tim great job. Those drums look cool and sound good.
Gaad influenced for sure. Great stuff. Good job on the kit, had the right dude demo it for you.
amazing work ethic. total respect brother.
Inspiring and creative. Great work!
Great work, man! Killer kit!
Sounds awesome! Great work man!
That's so cool!
Very good project sir, love the sound.
Very impressive!! So much work goes into making a drum shell .
I think it's a lot easier when done right with the right tools and materials :)
The drummer is right...lots of drummers would kill for that sound! As a Drum-Tech I can tell you that in the studio where sound is the priority and looks don't matter, I seen some very cheap drums produce killer sound! To the point that endorsers used cheap other stuff to record, instead of what they endorse. That it is your first drum, doesn't mean that you didn't hit the nail on the head 😉. In the end it's an instrument and the sound is what matters! Great job👍🏻👍🏻
THEY SOUND AWESOME!!
Donny looks so happy and proud to be playing on a drumkit his friend made.
Super cool my friend.
Thanks Tim well worth the wait. They sound and look great.
thanks amigo. They came out way better than I expected.
Useful tips for when I get around to making a kit.
They sound amazing. Not just amazing for a first try but amazing like a really nice set of commercially made drums.
Great build video. I look forward to seeing the recycle band........
How did I miss this? Ha ha!!!
So glad you did it. 😀
Great job, sounds great!
nice work sir, my kit was taken by last big storm here in the philippines you made a good one,sounds good keep it up sir tim !!!
I´m a guitar builder and these are amazing and great work.... love it.
You can do angled seams like Yamaha does. Most likely easier in some ways. Less, or a different glue may be an option to look into as well. I'm still blown away at this project and kudos to you!!!
That sounds great for just knocking on doors!!!
Man you did a super great job there congratulations.
Congrats on 100k
👊💪
Dude, they sound awesome!!!!!! Also great drummer!!
What a fun idea! 👏👏👏👏
amazing work!
awesome build
Really cool and inspiring. Wish I woulda tried a project like this when I was younger, and trying to afford all the gear for playing in a band was insanely difficult. Wasn’t sure about the green stripe at first, but I dig it. Kudos bud!
I'll be honest I am very impressed, I wanna try this!!!
