Wow, I really liked what you did to that snare. Nice job!!! I wonder what it sounded like before you fixed the being out of round aspect of the drum. It certainly sounded fine when you were done with all the work you did to it!!! I'm not sure you could have done all that without the burritos!!!
Feel free to describe the process you used! This was my first (but certainly not last) attempt to patina a brass drum. I'm new to the idea, so always interested to get tips from experienced folks! Thanks so much for being here!
Think I could send you my 70's Supraphonic? Its very slightly out of round, but its a beautiful looking drum in great shape, and I want to find someone I trust to work on it.
Looks and sounds great ! Have you thought of hammering it ? Dries the sound up and it's much less 'pingy' at higher tunings . And would make a grrreat video ! 😉 Thanks for this , though , I have a 13x6" Gretsch Brass Leg-end that I might dare to patina myself . And hand-hammer , if I have the know how ! Thanks again , looking forward to seeing your next video , whatever it may be 👏👏👍👍😃
Probably. Or a brushed look? Either would be cool! I'm actually about to do this again with a Pacific SX hammered brass snare that I have. It's a Taiwan drum, but it sounds amazing and I got it for a song. I'm going to keep it, but I just can't take the bright yellow finish, so I'm gonna age it. Perhaps I should do some coarse buffing to dull the finish before I age it?
@drumdotpizza. I have the same snare but was always feeling like the tension rods wouldn’t tune. Took the lugs off and notice the rod nuts do not seat all the way into the lug channel. It’s a casting manufacturer defect. It’s consistent with every lug. However it only effects one end of the lug. Did you happen to come across this issues where the tension nut couldn’t seat flush? I’m planning on dremeling the bit of metal out of the lug to make it work.
Well, the owner of this drum has asked me to list it for sale (as I'm always buying/selling stuff). Anyone interested can find the listing at reverb.com/item/68276338-tama-pm306-artstar-es-6-5x14-brass-snare-drum-8-lug-antiqued-brass-custom. Thanks as always for watching!!
Ha! What part was distressing? The original condition of the shell, or what I did to it? And you like the rack tom? That Pacific MX kit is new to me (I plan to feature it in a future modification video, but just putting it through its paces at the time I filmed this).
I have a stainless steel shell that's just so slightly out of round. It tunes up and all, but it annoys me to death to know that it's not perfectly round. Stainless is a whole other deal than brass haha. It's so fucking hard it hardly moves when I lay my whole 100 kilo body on it.
That's an interesting question. I wondered about that (no one I found online dunked the brass into the vinegar, but I do know there are antiquing solutions that can be used for different metals. I may try that with small brass items to get a feel for what happens.
Did not know what an English wheel was till I just looked it up. Very interesting (and expensive). If I ever wind up doing much of this type of thing that might be worth investing in, though I'd need to bone up on the techniques for using one... everything I just found with a quick search seemed focused on forming sheet metal for automotive restoration/customization. Definitely food for thought though. Thanks for the suggestion!

That’s really cool. I didn’t think it would look this good when you told me about it!
It looks absolutely amazing! I want one so badly! 😄
oo lovely sounding man.. and really nice sounding drums too
That copper tama snare at the beginning is one of the BEST snares I’ve ever played
Well shoot. Now I gotta rip all the parts off of my brass Yamaha snare and give this a shot. Loving your videos man! The burritos killed me!
Damn, I wish there was a way to share the patina job I did on one of my drums. It looks like a peacock, it’s incredible!

It actually sounded like it fit with that DW kit really nicely.

Bit above my pay grade, I'm afraid (though interested to learn!). Perhaps I'll give that a try on the next one that comes my way!
@@drumdotpizza - Here's hoping ! Thanks for the reply , keep up the good work ! Have a great weekend , too 👏👍😂
Nice job!
I wonder if you lightly sanded it first if it would help give it a matte look
Probably. Or a brushed look? Either would be cool!

Like that tool what’s the name of it.😮😃
Use paper for edge check on flat surface it’s.003 thick , you can fold it over several times as needed to see how far off it is
That's a great idea!

Drum is sold. Congrats to the new owner!
Very distressing. Evans Calftone might compliment the finish. Your rack tom is the MVP in this clip.

Sounds awesome too?

Might be worth a trip to a local machine shop for adjustment??
Sounds tremendous. What happens if you dilute it and submerge the whole shell?
Next one's gonna be about pizza, for sure. Its gotta be!!!

Use an English wheel / withe rubber rollers

@@drumdotpizza I’m a retired tool and die maker and race car chassis builder. You can make an English wheel for you purpose. Your videos are great.

Forced patina never looks good and natural.
