The toilet chain worked really nice, but I'm a fan of metal beads. I made myself a while ago a drum key necklace, where the key is connected to the chain via a keyring, but the chain itself is a bead style chain so I always have with me a drum key and a set of rivets.
For a cheap rivet, just use a dog tag chain. At an army surplus store near me they're only 75 cents. You can also put your drum key on one and never lose it anymore.
Dig the dog leash and cabasa beads! I never thought about the cabasa beads before. Your a genius! Watch out with those regular Mardi Gras beads though. I tried those out before and one hit directly on them made it explode everywhere haha.
I like it when things are both funny and potentially very useful. Also, love the music. As if somebody tried to make a beat for Dälek out of and old video game soundtrack.
Dont know if anyone said this but a chain from a sink/bath plug works really well u can also double it up for more rivets (there also really cheap) I attached mine to a giant keyring and it fits around most felts and hh clutches
Matt YeppItsMe but toms are tuned quite differently. I was thinking you could just put snare-wires on a tom without changing the tuning. Or even better, try tuning a tom to use as a snare without changing the hardware
I love these videos!! The creativity is amazing, along with all of the cool shots and background music. I have a feeling you're a bit inspired by Casey neistat
YES David is alright. He's playing a 5 piece kit for all the 70 year olds like me who might be watching. Just close one eye so you only see one mount tom. You will survive.
David, I want to build a sort of annex and place my instruments there, but I don't know how much padding I should use to prevent any noise complaints from my neighbors.
For me, David, these solutions each have the goal of a sizzle sound without destroying the cymbal or limiting it to a "with rivets only" mode. Dude you are brilliant and I applaud the simplicity and frugal approach. Unless one can afford and has duplicate rides, one with and one without (rivets) this is a good approach. I'm gonna look around my house and do one...or maybe two for different sizzles...Have a great day...Blessings, Ed
Adding a rivet hole to a cymbal doesn't destroy it, and rivetd are removable. But I understand that despite my personal preference of not minding if there's a rivet hole, some people might not like it and it will reduce the value of the cymbal a bit. But I believe the real thing sounds best. Closest thing might be taping a rivet to the cymbal.
to be really cheap(aka my school) just put a bend a paperclip a little bit and put it on the edge of the cymbal, slight difference but can work of you find a good bend.
I've always used toilet chains but dog leash was cool! It would cut better in a live situation (on a larger cymbal. It might weigh down smaller cymbals a little too much).
You want a device that doesn't rest along the full length of the cymbal from center hole to edge, as that produces too large a dampening/sizzle ratio. Find something that acts as an "arm" of some sort which extends ABOVE the cymbal from its anchored center point on the cymbal stand out to, and above, the outer edge of the cymbal. Then you want some sort of hard metal bead(s) hanging from the end of the arm down onto the cymbal near the edge of the cymbal. Using the lightest weight string (fishing line???) possible and perhaps only a single hard metal bead. You want the bead to bounce freely, have minimal contact with the cymbal and with the string and with any other beads. Less touching produces longer sustain of the sizzle. Greater numbers of beads reduces cymbal vibration sustain without producing greater volume. .... Long ago I had a commercial device based on the arm concept (but it didn't use beads). .... If you must hang a string of beads [or whatever objects] from the post, remove all the beads except one or two or three at the end, AND make sure these don't touch each other, AND use the LIGHTEST string possible..... Also... when doing your test recording, play single strokes at a sloooow tempo.
dog chain is my favorite, cheers
thumbs up.... same
David, are you alright? you're playing a 5 piece setup.
I didnt think he would do that in a million years
Whens the Dollar Tree gonna drop u that sponsorship $$$
You're the casey neistat of drum videos dude, awesome content.
cabasa most definitely. to me it sits at the perfect level. beads sound the same as well so if you want to be vibrant and colorful.
+Dusty Shane thanks man. you're the first one to notice

your content and editing just keeps getting better and better dude!
Old snare wires work well too! Cut them in half and put them under the cymbal under the sleeve.
I was searching the comments looking for this! I knew I couldn't have been the only who had tried it!
I have hung the whole snares right on top before, sounds nasty on a big ride!
+Kyle Collins i am going to go try the under thing very soon!
Love your videos! They've helped me so much as a drummer,keep em coming
The toilet chain! Definitely dig how subtle it is. On a Meinl Jazz series ride, K Constantinople, etc. that would sound killer.
nice directing with great sense of humor as always! Cheers dude!
For a cheap rivet, just use a dog tag chain. At an army surplus store near me they're only 75 cents. You can also put your drum key on one and never lose it anymore.
This is also a good idea.
I added some empty bullet casings to one of my thin crashes and ended up with a sot of shattered glass sound with a bunch of sustain.
Toilet chain FTW...
i made one up of different size washers on twine. also works great for adding on snare
Either the chain or the toilet chain I like the light sounds they give.
Great ideas! Well done to your assistant too.😀
Brother, I just wanted to tell you that I enjoy your videos. Good job 👍
many thanks
The beads did it for me. the color can make a kit look cool and I think it sounded great...
the wing nut idea is very cool and functional.
Chains and nice mounting solution with the washer/sleeve.
Dig the dog leash and cabasa beads! I never thought about the cabasa beads before. Your a genius! Watch out with those regular Mardi Gras beads though. I tried those out before and one hit directly on them made it explode everywhere haha.
Dog chain was my favorite, then the chain in the cymbal sleeve second!
I like it when things are both funny and potentially very useful.
Also, love the music. As if somebody tried to make a beat for Dälek out of and old video game soundtrack.
I've actually used some of these... The beads, toilet chain, and a beaded chain like dog tags have. They all work great.
Dont know if anyone said this but a chain from a sink/bath plug works really well u can also double it up for more rivets (there also really cheap) I attached mine to a giant keyring and it fits around most felts and hh clutches
awesome video as always! so inspiring
the regular chain and the washer+string sounds the best to me.
snares on a bass drum!
Or snares on toms!
+Akiko Miwa Putting snares on a tom is essentially just making a snare....
Or, you can go the Larnell Lewis/Anika Nilles route and use a deep 14" snare drum as a floor tom with snares.
+Crimson Sunrise Sput does it too. Really cool sound.
Matt YeppItsMe
but toms are tuned quite differently. I was thinking you could just put snare-wires on a tom without changing the tuning. Or even better, try tuning a tom to use as a snare without changing the hardware
Try the beaded chain used for lamp pulls. Attach it to a key ring. Also a dime on a piece of tape works okay.
Do you know how to paint drum lugs?
I love these videos!! The creativity is amazing, along with all of the cool shots and background music. I have a feeling you're a bit inspired by Casey neistat
how do you by such cheap drum sets i really want a new set that i can fix up
YES David is alright. He's playing a 5 piece kit for all the 70 year olds like me who might be watching. Just close one eye so you only see one mount tom. You will survive.
Can you make a suitcase drum kit? I know there are already videos out there, but I think you could do it very well.
RARE FOOTAGE OF DAVID USING TWO RACK TOMS HOLY SHIT
some sick springreverb there
Dog leash, for me, but I also really enjoyed what the keys did, nice shaky sizzle. The beads worked pretty well, too.
The beads kind of sound like maracas. I like them. The dog leash is also pretty innovative.. and I think I have an old one just like it.
imagine playing the drums and your car opens
This is a Tama Starclassic Bubinga in Diamond Dust?
U haven't done a beater build in a while can you do a diy Vic firth vickick beater(s) build?
Dog lead is the winner!
David, I want to build a sort of annex and place my instruments there, but I don't know how much padding I should use to prevent any noise complaints from my neighbors.
double layer drywall and roxul insulation. thats the best way to do it without spending an arm and a dick.
Thank you, you are the best.
What's the ride your using?
Dave King is listening! Ride sounds dope btw... Dog leash for me.
Fishing line and sinkers?
Very cool intro! Nice video dude.
the first i think it sounds great
the firt one, dog chain... the best!
Is it for sale?
yep, in the description, it the heavy one

I use a chain on my Sabian B8X ride and it works great
make this man president
Viva la dog chain!
What do you think about Steve Weiss .com?
great site. Ive been ordering from there for like 8 years and all the schools I work with order from there too
I've always used toilet chains but dog leash was cool! It would cut better in a live situation (on a larger cymbal. It might weigh down smaller cymbals a little too much).
well i like the cabasa ring and i use it also
What's the song in the background?
I liked the dog leash, car keys, and mardi gras beads
Hey David whatever Happened to you doing Q+A's ????? I really like ALL your video's would like to see more Q+A's though Thank-You
I'm personally a fan of the Cabasa rings
The dog leash and keys didn't sound bad I liked them
Dollar store choke chains are my choice.
I liked the cabasa beads and the Mardi Gras beads
I prefer the dog chain's audible sizzle, I don't believe I heard any difference with the other ones, unless they murdered the tone like the keychain.
Favourite? Wasn't the chain the only one that actually worked?
Good vid!
Casey neistat fan?? Nice work dude, dog chain sounds nice! +1 sub
Wait, so paperclips are also called trombones? That is the real lesson I learned here today.
will you ever consider doing drum beat lessons?
Keys #1 chain #2
you can use a dog tag chain those work great
You should put all of those on the 100 rivet cymbal.
I personally liked the keys
Great. Now play with all of them on the same cymbal at the same time
i think the dog leash was the best
what exactly is the point of rivets on a cymbal?
............ummmmmm...it's a different sound. Pretty simple really. If you don't like the way it sounds.....DON'T USE IT.
HEY, PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!-
Dog leash was the best IMO.
the beat tho!
The beads I guess. Second would be the chain or the cabassa ring. The dog leash and the keys are a bit too much IMO, the rest is inaudible.

'Experienment'. GG english
lol whoops
Dog chain all the way
Yeah baby
3:19
paperclips= trombones
seems legit
a problem with the paper clips is when you accidentally hit them they bend
also they barely make any sizzle lol
Beads, and chain.
I use carabiners on my ride.
the spring
Scotch Tape & A Quarter
Cabasa ring👍👌
Ceiling Fan chains work best.
I sent you a email about the beater. Shoot me one back when you get the chance.
It's all about mass
my teacher Omar Diaz taught me one: a penny and a little piece of tape.
That's my go-to option
I ain't putting a toilet chain no where near my cymbal
dog chain for sure
Am I the only one concerned with what happened to the dog that leash was used for?
use the chain off of a dog tag
