Bass Drum Beater Made Out Of Drum Sticks

[@HeydenDrummer]

I don't see myself going through all this work for a bass drum beater.. But it sure was kind of therapeutic to watch you doing it :)

It does look ridiculously fun though, I doubt he’d have done it if it wasn’t fun to do

Make a snare drum out of old drum sticks. The tension rods could be old mallet sticks and the lugs could be old bass drum beaters.

when you stop to think about it overall this guy works really fucking hard

its so easy to watch. but few are able to feel that it is really so much hard work. appreciate it dude!

+Ahmed Freak Thanks man!

[@chickenaddict6128]

I come back frequently for the tunes.

[@DaybidLay]

You are for real my hero man, I'm a drummer and an aspiring maker and your videos just make me all giddy inside! using a drill press as a vertical lathe was GENIUS! Keep em coming and I'll keep watching them man! Don't stop!

[@rdavidr]

+DaybidLay thanks man!

[@cyrfung]

That's a lot of work for that amount of wood.

[@garywinthrope1507]

When you was using that sanding belt thing your fingers were so close to it my anxiety was all the way up

[@raaayxsdx3]

i could accomplish anything with this type of background music

[@MarcPeters]

Really appreciate the amount of effort put into this video. That beater would be a treasure to have

[@BEElaine1008]

I would’ve never thought of using a drill press for lathing.... That’s Awesome!

[@jonniejlo]

I was sooo impressed you have a thicknesser! Then the drill press sent me over the DIY edge. that's brilliant!

[@kennethkunie4978]

I thought this would be something I could do, but as soon as I started watching it I said no way, this guy is a friggin genius!

[@DRBEGG3]

From one drummer/ carpenter to an other sick work bro.

[@VilliamOttesen]

Now this is perfection/art/drum gear - combined! Amazing video man!! I love how you take all kind of "rubbish", that some people would throw away, and you make beautiful and useful things of of them. Looks good man! :)

[@drew2dee2]

dave we have the same initials, when i was in middle school i also engraved "dr" onto one of my sticks lmao

[@wesleyturtscher1584]

I never would've thought to keep old broken drum sticks, neat project

[@vesak988]

This is why I love your channel! In every video you show me, that i dont have to spend tousand bucks but if Im handy enough, I can make (almost) everything on my own...

[@ricklee9473]

Honza Šimánek -- not thousands of bucks, only thousands of hours,which add up to thousands of $ ---- go buy a 4.00 beater - jeez

[@Rockin_Ross]

That's an insane amount of work for a beater, but worth it as the sticks you would've just burned or tossed are now serving your songs again. I love your drill press lathe. I never thought to use one like that. Good deal and great work as always!

[@AlexTimification]

I admire, how you are passionate about your work

[@LanceCampeau]

What a cool re-purposing demo... the amount of edit time on your videos has to be HUGE!!! Well done sir...

[@rdavidr]

+LanceCampeau thanks man, it definitely took some time to edit, let alone make the thing!

[@ThrashJazzAssassin77]

Fancy seeing one of my favourite Tubers in this neighbourhood! Cheers to both of you!

[@StiGy]

+rdavidr Edit? to make that beater was 10 min..

[@rdavidr]

+StiGy the video is 10 mins, but the time to edit it was obviously way more..

[@StiGy]

i was laughing, that he said about the editing, its funny cause the making of the beater was probably more than the editing :)

[@chandlerquintin9708]

I just love the smooth- groove- chill music! It's has a Charlie Brown type feel to it

[@chasedeery1665]

Plot twist: this was secretly meant for Dave to get sponsored by Vic firth.

[@MisteryHatch]

This is a very cool way to re-use broken sticks! My Dad usually just takes mine and uses them for paint stirrers

[@janethemain]

your a true craftsman! when I was a kid my dad had a couple of fiberglass dowels, & I asked if I could make indestructible drumsticks outta them, he said sure that's a good idea, we didn't have a lathe (sp) but he had a drillpress that we laid on its side & I shaped em like that. in the end they looked like real drumsticks but not exactly identical in taper & bead, but I was proud & he was too. unfortunately they felt awful with alot of vibration transfer to the hands. I gave them away to someone who liked em.

[@matenorth]

I dont think i love playing drums more than you love what you do.. And i really love drums!!!!

[@19crofty86]

Your woodworking skills are great. I was kinda hoping to see more of a nod to the drumstick in the final piece. Don't get me wrong, what you made looked lovely, but if I was shown the drum beater first I would never have guest you used drum sticks to make it 😉

thanks rdavidr you are a huge inspiration for me and a lot of other drummer thanks!!!

make a Rubik cube bass drum beater!

[@ConnorR.mp3]

It wouldn't stay together.

[@MrJoshlewis111]

That solves itself as you beat it! 😃

[@Rockin_Ross]

With the right core, you could pull it off. The store bought one would come apart within a month of playing. Also, you have the strike angle to consider. For a good, solid hit, you need the face to hit flat against the head. A cube would end up hitting on the top edge and might damage the head. Your suggestion has got me thinking though...

[@evane2808]

[@thomaskittock2866]

That was the most enjoyable thing I've seen all day.

[@digitalman269]

Was anyone else expecting those two gas cans to explode during the fire scene? Man, that would have been a good ending. Or, seeing the damn beater in use!

Hi, Nice work! a little tip, put the toolrest closer to the spinning piece when you use the drillpress as a lathe ( 6:00 ), then it will go alot easier.

[@johnchase8510]

Fantastic work David, and it looks amazing too! Going to check out the tone in a moment As a fellow woodworker with a few more grey hairs, I hope it is okay to offer a couple of suggestions? Since you have the face planer and the hand plane (excellent to see you set it down on her side!), it is possible to skip right from the band saw to the hand plane. True up 3 sides and do your glue-up, tack the stock to the backboard and shave off the tops with the hand plane just enough to get it to run through the planer. (Dirty tip #1) You can glue rails to the backboard, which will drive the assy. through the planer with all kinds of rough, lumpy faced stock and after a bunch of small passes, you have flat, serviceable lumber. The one other thing I though might be good to mention, if you care… Using a drill press for any task that involves side pressure will wear the bearings/bushings, and it will eventually destroy the critical accuracy of a good machine. If it's a beater, or if the work you do on it does not include tight tolerances and a bit having a 1/64" runout or worse does not matter, rock on. Okay, off to check out your cool beater… Thanks!

[@jadencarrasco7505]

No gloves, this guy is a legend!!

[@RyanBischoffPercussion]

Jaden Carrasco most woodworking tools should not be used with gloves. They could get caught in the spinning/movement of the tool and make things much worse than if you didn’t have gloves

[@recordman555]

If you just started watching at about the 1 minute mark, you might think, "Cool - this guy's making his toddler some nunchakus."
