His kit in the 90s sounded like he was playing the cases. He had that big ass 15” mounted tom and what looked like a 26” bass drum, and what I’m hoping was a 18” floor tom… and no resonance at all And I just watched the video after making this comment expecting a totally different sound, and holy shit… you were right. The kick sounds like 90s Alex Van Halen, though
@@smoothknyte honestly so true. Earthworks mics are basically cheating. Every time I'm blown away by a drummer's recording sound I look and sure enough.. Earthworks.
I've never heard a bass drum that changes pitch so dramatically depending on the velocity of the beater. You do do some cool things with that tendency!
(I knew I bought a new roll of tape that disappeared somewhere) To answer some questions I see in comments. I have recorded the kit, which can be heard, along with other very different types of builds, on the Solos for Concept Drum Sets audio recording and Video on my channel, REFondrums. The video was done with a ZOOM Q8. Watching the bearing edge test, I'd have to conclude the more serious disparity in the flatness was caused by undue pressures placed upon them in transit. I didn't care about the edges, as long as nothing sharp existed but, I know they were not out as much as shown here in one spot. Still, as David states, the drums are not typical diameters, per se' so, all the heads float and tension up okay. The pushed-in floor tom leg bracket shows what kind of handling they received. I should have packed them up with even more safety area around them. As far as the kick, 22 vs.18, the first video I did with them on my channel uses the 18" side. Pretty cool thump either way. As an aside, my friend who mixed and mastered my audio recordings tells me his favorite set of mine to listen to is the Trash Can set. He considers it one of the best sounding kits he's heard. (!!!!) Just let's us know a very objective fact. Sound is subjective in the ears of every listener. Thanks to David for showcasing Trash Can drums! (Did I actually type that?) YES!
The cans sound great! You’ve had a stellar year finding the most interesting kits. You’re doing us all a huge favor while entertaining us at the same time.
@@jamessssssssssssss i thought the bass had a great tone- sort of Charlie Watts' sound in Undercover Of The Night. huge, not an "electronic click" that i hear so much these days. it sounded like a drum.
Loving the trash can ending... I said to myself, "if he doesn't do a trash can ending, I'm going to slate him in the comments for it!", but you did, so I'm not going to slate you, lol! Also, a little tip for tuning a drum with a warped bearing edge: Use a hairdryer or heat gun on the head when it's under tension, it could (could) help to warp the head in the same way as the bearing edge and decrease the likelihood of wrinkles. Another tip: Don't use glass to check the flatness of hoops and bearing edges; most glass, contrary to popular belief, is not flat!
That kit is absolutely awesome!! The sound from it in a mix is great, also never any chance of it getting swiped at gigs :) Brilliant playing as always sir, got them big hits out today :)
We used to send already recorded drum tracks out to speakers placed in trash cans and place mics in the cans as well as around the room. Absolutely killer - Especially for aggressive rock tracks.
I did not need or want a winter project but you just gave me one. This looks like a fun build that will fit perfect at the hunting cabin for when my buddies and I have been hitting the bourbon because we suck at hunting.
It doesn`t matter if it is a high or a student level drum kit, Tama, Premier, Pearl, Ludwig, DW, The No Names Oriental Kits, or Yamaha, Century (Taiwanese 90`s brand), or american obscure name that I saw many years ago, "Juggs", from Miami, Florida, etc,etc, etc,.. man is YOU the one in command, who makes it sound or sing. I`ve got a Cabria 2001 Premier Rock sizes series, and it gives a lot of punch and the people who listened the sound, they`d love it. Great and killer experiment, cheers!!!.
I think that it sounds fantastic! Its definitely not the sound I was expecting. I figured there would be a lot of metallic undertones and ringing. Also I wonder if the bass drum should face the other way. Its conical so which way gives the best sound? big to little or vice versa?
My sticker made it to your tool box! (next to the Shure sticker) This excites me to no end. Also, this kit has no business sounding that good. That’s awesome
I think I recognize some of those creations from an old drum forum. I am trying to remember if it's the same guy that tried to sound test 4 different bearing edges on two drums using threaded rod so that he didn't have to install lugs to prove that bearing edge cuts didn't matter because they all sound the same. But the drums were only half tuned with weird pitch bends, and each drum shared two different edges, so there was no final comparison of anything other than you can hit it and it makes noise. He does make some fun and interesting stuff though. I really liked the plywood (sideways ply) shells.
This reminds me on the 24' Surdo I'm playing sometimes as a Bass Drum. It's more than 24' deep and made out of Aluminum, so that you can wear it on the street samba party. It sounds huge and costs only around 250. But you need to change the drum head with a good pin stripe which costs another 80. But compare to a wood shell very cheap
Some of the best parts of your videos are you playing! Also, I always notice how any set you play sounds good. I would venture to say that has a lot to do with how you play. When you've had other players play on the same kit, it never sounds as good. Dude you are a great drummer.
Growing up there was this band that would play at the fair called Vocal Trash and the whole band played drums on trash cans but bass drum was a plastic 20 gallon barrel and the toms were water jugs.
Those lug constructions are really rough! 😅 There's a custom drum builder here in Finland, who also makes drums with wooden lugs, called Saari drums. I own one of those kits. He has used thread inserts in the lugs, so there's nothing dropping out of the lug when unscrewed, and the bolts he uses are deep hexagon socket cap screws, so the drumkey (he included one in the kit) stays upright and basically works like a normal drumscrew. :)
I had a drum set as a younger man. It was a 5 piece Ludwig from early 70’s. Drums were heavy and well made. They were red with sparkle paint. I didn’t know anything thin, and still don’t, but that set did not sound as good as your trash can set. Drums are all about tuning and set up. Great job!
Seeing this put an idea in my head. Is there an all metal kit out there? I love metal snares, but I've never come across toms or kick drums that were metal.
Nice table saw. I live a couple of hours from Grizzly's Springfield, MO store. That place is amazing, and huge. There's actually a koi pond in the middle of the store. When I stopped in, they had some amazing deals on scratch and dent tools. Unfortunately, I didn't have the $ for any of it.
Man, that tune/beat you were playing at 8:43 definitely sounds like some Alice in Chains. And that drum definitely sounds surprisingly well. Awesome video David, thanks for uploading!
Whoah man! This truly shows you could basically build a nice sounding kit with about anything! Given some good heads and expensive cymbals, but still! Props my man and I enjoy then content! Who knows what else you could build a drum set with? This gives me many ideas myself on what could be possible!?
I'm gonna say at every video I hear music. The music is awesome, so new, and it's just like my favorite kind of music ever that I've never hei don't know. If I'm a metal head or a jazz head, but well, I'm just ahead. Thanks for making the video and finding this music.
That kick drum sound is perfect for metal music. And its made from metal. I've not heard of the drums being called trash cans, but certainly certain cymbal brands being called trash can lids.
I think everything you could fix it to sound good as no one ever believes to sound!!!This kit with a bit modification on the lugs and maybe some internal iron rings that maybe fix the flatness of the shells even from the batter sides only it can improve them much maybe but this is just an idea!! Nice video David!!
What you need is the Latin Percussion Trash Snare. If gor obe yesterday. It's awesome. It's made from a metal trash can lid. It has beads inside to rattle around and clip on snares.
0:11 What I have done to deserve this, I’ve spent my entire life chasing the perfect drum tone and spent half of my life savings on testing every drum head combo on the market to achieve a exemplary amount of resonance wo is me y o y e i s
Really good sound. It confirms what I've felt for a long time that any decent set of shells will get you a great sound with good heads. Maybe not eye candy but it'll sound good.
This is why im not too fussed with my 6pce Pearl Forum Series that I gig with twice a month. It's a late 2000s kit, sits in my car or in the garage 24/7 with no gig bags. Skins and tuning, skins and tuning... I wasn't expecting this trash kit to sound so bloody good
If you watch the video for "Knower - Hanging On" that has the youtube tumbnail of Genevieve Artadi in front of a yellow starburst thing, Louis Cole is playing on a set largely composed of garbage cans and pails. It's put together quite a bit differently but it seems to be the same idea. I posted this same comment a few days ago but committed the mortal sin of adding a link the the video I was talking about. Anyway, nice video. I don't play drums but really appreciate good drummers.
I've watched his channel,saying his natural finish kit is stacked ply rings,they shouldn't sounds that good,would like to hear some deeper shells.but his got some very interesting ideas about different woods used,well worth a look
I wish youtube would allow me to post a pic. We were invited to play at a church, only catch was that they would not allow us to bring a drum set. We could bring pots and pans, wood blocks ect. So I built a drum out of a trash can. Bought a trash can mounted it on an old thrown stand, added an old cymbal stamd on the closed end, and attached a kick pedal to the cymbal stand, ran a chain from the kick pedal to the a hole in the trash can and attached it to a batter that strikes the inside of the trash can.
Looks ace and sounds great too....personally I'm a fan unusual looking and sounding drums...lp trash snare is a fave of mine...and I have a popcorn pancake snare which I made following creative percussions fx snares...another snare I like. I made 12 diameter x 10" snare too, that sounded funky. I'm not a fan of the fancy high end kits and have plans to build my own set soon.
My first kit was a very strange starter kit by Rogers… who i never heard of before. Come to find they were kind of big in the past but this kit was a new, low budget kit at the time (probably 2005). Cost 400 bucks. The stock cymbals literally sounded exactly like hitting a garage door with sticks. But for some strange reason the kick and toms on the thing were and still are some of the best sounding drums I’ve ever heard. Very thin shells, next to impossible to tune with careful nuance, and the lugs and hardware left a whole lot to be desired. After a while they started to warp a bit and lost their specialness… but I had two sets for years… that one an a way nicer 2500 dollar pearl kit. I would record a ton and would always try my pearl… and often end up using the rogers shells instead. They just had everything… for no reason whatsoever. Only lasted about 7 years though.

* insert St. Anger snare joke *
Hahaha
Send me some drum stuff 🤣
A little sad you didn't receive an actual trash can snare that could be Lars-approved
Oh, you mean “pang”?
st.anger snare sounds cool actually
It sounds WAAAAAAAYYYYY better than I was expecting
Right? but at the same time I feel like I shouldn't be surprised, he can make any kit sound good honestly.
Right. ALL the kits sound the same~
Had a lot of mixing work that's why.
Mics and EQ and post-processing can make literally *any* kit sound good.
Sounds like a kit dave grohl would have played in the 90's. Surprisingly good looking and sounding.
They would use tuning and recording techniques to get that sound. Here you can get it right outta the box, or should I say trash.
Exactly what I thought when I heard the toms, this definitely sounds like one of Dave's kits in the early 90s
I was thinking soundgarden for the toms but definitely a grohl sounding snare.
His kit in the 90s sounded like he was playing the cases. He had that big ass 15” mounted tom and what looked like a 26” bass drum, and what I’m hoping was a 18” floor tom… and no resonance at all
And I just watched the video after making this comment expecting a totally different sound, and holy shit… you were right. The kick sounds like 90s Alex Van Halen, though
This is why I'll never pay $10,000 for a drum kit. That thing sounds awesome.
It sounds great because David got his hands and know how on it. It would sound like trash at the most of us tuning it.
@@Trommelfritz and also earthworks mics could make coughing sound good.
@@Trommelfritz youre so lost, dude.
@@smoothknyte honestly so true. Earthworks mics are basically cheating. Every time I'm blown away by a drummer's recording sound I look and sure enough.. Earthworks.
@@TrommelfritzSpeak for yourself. I can tune some drums brother.
Dude they sound incredible!!!!!! You just proved that tuning, EQ, mixing and the player make the drums. Nice job brother!
What I enjoy most is you playing to a backing track. In my opinion you always play the drums perfect to match the track.
I've never heard a bass drum that changes pitch so dramatically depending on the velocity of the beater. You do do some cool things with that tendency!
Do do
"So whenever they say your drums sound trash just send them this video". Yeah so then they could tell me my drums sound worse than trash
😂
(I knew I bought a new roll of tape that disappeared somewhere)

Thanks to David for showcasing Trash Can drums! (Did I actually type that?) YES!
We need this kit sampled and available for Kontakt Player!
The cans sound great! You’ve had a stellar year finding the most interesting kits. You’re doing us all a huge favor while entertaining us at the same time.
No way! This kit actually sounds great. It's such a pity we have plastic wheelie bins in the UK these days...
When the video began, I thought that Plastic cans might make a better shell, if not rounder & stronger. But, he got a great sound out of these!
I never would have expected this kit to sound anywhere near that good.👍👍
The kit sounded wonderful!! You just proved that the shells play a very small role in the sound of a drum 🥁 Take those cans to a gig!!!
yeah, you can just basically trigger everything
tbh im so tempted to make my own set of trash drums now lol
Tone wood necessary or just preferred
@@joebustos6413 I mean for acoustic instruments most likely, electric guitar specifically no. I havent done a test yet on drums but I only have 1 kit.
shells play a pretty damn significant role in the sound of drums, but thats not the point here. the point is what you do with those different drums
Missed opportunity to pick up the LP snare that is literally a trash can lid 😂
that kit records great. especially the bass drum! i wonder what it sounds like in the room.
i thought the bass drum was the worse sounding piece by far but the toms really surprised me
@@jamessssssssssssss i thought the bass had a great tone- sort of Charlie Watts' sound in Undercover Of The Night. huge, not an "electronic click" that i hear so much these days. it sounded like a drum.

P.s. the CCS sticker brought back a lot of memories from before I was middle age, overweight and with bad knees 😂
Training your ear for tuning and a balanced mix is key!! This was great to see
Been watching you for a while! Love your channel sir! Excellent quality videos! From one drummer to another! Amazing!!!
It doesn`t matter if it is a high or a student level drum kit, Tama, Premier, Pearl, Ludwig, DW, The No Names Oriental Kits, or Yamaha, Century (Taiwanese 90`s brand), or american obscure name that I saw many years ago, "Juggs", from Miami, Florida, etc,etc, etc,.. man is YOU the one in command, who makes it sound or sing.

Holy frijoles those sound good! The bass drum has something a little "extra" going on that really makes it pop! I'm digging it.😊
How do those toms sound as good as they do??? 😂
I think that it sounds fantastic! Its definitely not the sound I was expecting. I figured there would be a lot of metallic undertones and ringing.
Also I wonder if the bass drum should face the other way. Its conical so which way gives the best sound? big to little or vice versa?
This is legitimately one of the best sounding kits you've had on the channel. That's insane.
Why does this kit sound better than any dw I’ve heard 😂
That kick drum sounds amazing!!! Very punchy and deep! I'm digging it.
Dude, welding together your own drum key for this video is too cool. Also perfect cymbal choices for this kit and this song, love it!
My sticker made it to your tool box! (next to the Shure sticker) This excites me to no end.

How does it sound that good?!
1. I did not expect it to sound so good.
2. The beginning of the demo song sounds like it would play in every few scenes of Peaky Blinders
Some of the best parts of your videos are you playing! Also, I always notice how any set you play sounds good. I would venture to say that has a lot to do with how you play. When you've had other players play on the same kit, it never sounds as good. Dude you are a great drummer.
As much as I love "normal" drum channels, content on yours is superb. Love me some not to normal drum content.
Growing up there was this band that would play at the fair called Vocal Trash and the whole band played drums on trash cans but bass drum was a plastic 20 gallon barrel and the toms were water jugs.
That's bizarre how good that sounds, really puts the price of drums into perspective 😂, great video and brilliant work as always!
its not bizarre it just prove drums are 99% vibrating heads, not all this bullshit wood type sale pitch
Those lug constructions are really rough! 😅
There's a custom drum builder here in Finland, who also makes drums with wooden lugs, called Saari drums. I own one of those kits.

Aww yeah! I miss seeing David in the work shop!
Embarrassed to send it? I'da been pround, that kit is gold.

Seeing this put an idea in my head. Is there an all metal kit out there? I love metal snares, but I've never come across toms or kick drums that were metal.
That litterally (pun intended) sounds better than a bunch of kits you have used on here! Crazy.

This just made me think that I've not seen you build a kit from Plastic Drums. Food grade of course. Nice work, love ur posts.
This is innovative and it sounds great! I'd play them live.
now u see how important good drum heads and tuning is to the drum sound 😮🎉
Really good sound. It confirms what I've felt for a long time that any decent set of shells will get you a great sound with good heads. Maybe not eye candy but it'll sound good.
Crazy!!!! You're like a drum archeologist!
I would've never guessed it would sound that good. Now you know why I like checking out your videos. Uniqueness!!!!

That kit actually doesn't sound bad. It would be a great kit for a heavy metal band.
Well some much for what kinda wood is used. 😊 That kit sounded great!
Amazed how good this sounds👏🏻. Probs for Davids tuning skills I guess
Sounds great! Reminds me of early 90's grunge. Should of played spoon man. Good drumming too
This is a testimant to how good head manufaturing has gotten lol

I did not expect that! They sounded pretty darn good! Maybe its the player 😊😊😊
The snare and kick is so good. Honestly the whole kit sounds great.
It sounds amazing. Especially the kick. It has so much depth
😮 those cans sound very serviceable!
Missed opportunity to make the tuning key out of a long 3/8 socket and a bit of that Allen key to make the T-handle!!
-you made trash sound like drums.
-I make drums sound like trash.
@rdavidr2. sure I did 😌 I won the funniest comment even though I don't have any likes.
Reverse St Anger: Everything but the snare is a trash can.
You can make anything sound good! great job...

I feel like you did the kick dirty by not micing the reso, but those cans sounded incredible!!
somehow trash beating my drum kit! excellent job!
No disrespect intended. I would be curious to see his DAW. How much EQ, compression, etc, was used. Great sound!
Same. I want to hear the camera mic audio.
Yes that's what playing acoustic guitar with a pic feels at time
