I gotta say Mike, as someone who is just starting to dabble in woodworking & drum restoring/modding these videos give me real hope and some direction. Thank again for all you do! Keep up the killer work!

[@malonedrum]

Glad to hear, feel free to share some projects when you get going. Always love to see that stuff.

@@malonedrum Will do! So far I've only made a quick and dirty "pedall board" for my gear. Just started playing for a local artist and I have been spoiled to using IEMs. So I build a little rig that stays all wired up and helps keep the sound consentant for me. I've got my Yamaha EAD-10 to mic my drums and my Dr. Beat all running into a little behringer mixer. Then at practice, I take a line out the guys combo amp to run into my mixer so I have his accostic and vox. Then at shows I do the same or run the floor wedge line into it. Anywho, I got tired of setting all that up every time so I grabbed a bit of scrap wood and built a little board for it. Got everything strapped down and it even fits inside one of those pelican style boxes. So now I just pull it out, run power, place the mic, run the two lines i need, and I ready to roll! Next up on the list (and this has been on the list for years) is to fix up an old CB-700 kit a friend gave to me. Needs some cleaning and I need to replace some missing hardware BUT I am looking forward to it. Plan to fix it up and use that at rehearsals so that I don't have to break down my kit every week.

Green colours is fine, this is a great job.

[@malonedrum]

Thanks.

[@EarthtonesCymbals]

A man after my own heart. Being creative, willing to experiment and being resourceful all at the same time. Cheers! P.S. Those CB 700 wristwatch style lugs are some of my personal favorites. I just finished a purple glitter concert tom set with all CB wristwatch style lugs and they look amazing in my opinion! ♪♫♪

[@malonedrum]

I kept those lugs, and hope to find a use for them one day

[@pfmdude]

Glad you made the other 2 drums to complete these concert toms! And once again, they sound amazing. Of course with the gated reverb they sound even better! Keep up the great work! And looking forward to the Drum Show next month!

[@malonedrum]

I'll be there Sunday this year due to some travel/gigs, but I'll be there!

[@BayouMaccabee]

Black interior AND exterior would have been a great clean look. Either way, you did a fine job and they sound great. Kudos

[@malonedrum]

Would be an easy change!

[@ilovemusicsomuch]

Your videos are most enjoyable and fun to watch!

[@malonedrum]

Glad you like them!

[@alejandrobustos2268]

Phil Collins style concerts toms. Good work.

[@malonedrum]

Full Phil

[@dww0902]

I like the green. You know what your next move should be (after the matching snare and bass drum)? Fiberglass on the insides. 🤘

[@malonedrum]

I’m hoping this is the end of this project, but it’s under consideration!

[@iplaywithsticks6194]

Cool project. Well done.

[@malonedrum]

Thanks!

[@biffbiff1107]

Cool! Green heads would be adventurous especially if you end up painting interior silver. Camouflage could be another unique color option. If in doubt (and time is plentiful) all black, red gaskets and black skins🍻

[@malonedrum]

Gaskets is a cool idea!

[@gregwonhoff7161]

I just love your project videos, Mike. This one was so cool. Those drums sound great, and I really appreciate your comparison segments showing the sounds with and without electronic enhancements. Thanks so much.

[@malonedrum]

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

[@gregwonhoff7161]

@@malonedrum Thank you for taking time to put out videos on your channel.

[@BayouMaccabee]

I like 'em. I'm surprised you didn't play the intro fill for "In the Air Tonight". 😄

[@malonedrum]

I didn't want to get a copyright strike (it's happened before, and I had to clip it out).

[@JakeStaffin]

Excellent video as always, Mike!! Very cool to see a 14 and 16 added to the set of concert toms!! They look and sound great, and that mix with the EQ and effects is incredible. Contrary to what some may say about the color, I think the green looks fantastic- it's not something you see every day on drums so it gives a really unique look. I know you said you don't use these a lot but who knows? If you're ever in a situation where you need to bring a small kit with minimal gear and don't have a ton of room for full sized toms, such as the small jazz gig you did in the video of 3 gigs in one day, maybe you could bring a couple of these such as the 10 and 14 to save space. These could look cool alongside the shallow kick drum you used in that video!!

[@malonedrum]

I'm sure there could be a use for them one day, but the sound is so different, I could never see myself playing jazz on them, but Im sure at some point I'll find a track to use them on!

[@csikosbeka]

Build a matching bass drum and snare, please! A "concert snare" with just one side :) Oh, and re-paint the whole set, plz. Silver on the inside, and blue sparkle on the outside. And thanks for the great content!!

[@malonedrum]

Maybe one day, but in my mind this project is really wrapped no. No part three.... I hope

[@aaronsudasna]

These sound really cool. Great job!

[@malonedrum]

Thank you!

[@bobgourley8179]

I think th er shade of green you used is great looking, like a groovy ludwig olivegreen. Very cool ,mike

[@malonedrum]

Thanks!

[@uwepetersen]

You need to build a matching Bassdrum 😂😂😂 Great sounding drums. I was waiting for the „In the air tonight“ fill.

[@malonedrum]

I'm getting too many requests for that already..... and for the lack of "In the Air Tonight" I tried it in part 1, and got a copyright strike lol

[@uwepetersen]

@@malonedrum Copyright on a Drum fill? Wow, it’s getting crazy.

[@malonedrum]

@@uwepetersen I think that means I got the reverb just right though...

[@RimshotsandNamaste]

No 6"?! How dare u? .. :p For real.. I feel nearly dumb: for several years now I could not care lass about high end drums but for more than a year now: I fell back in da rabbit hole of high end drums! .. But now.. Listening that part going back and forth between eq/fx on and off.. Daaamn it brings you up in the face how much sound processing is faaaar more important than that "bubinga/ash/ sugar maple/African exotic wood delirium ridiculous expensive drums!!! .. Inspiring content! And also tnx for having me discovered your backing tracks source!! ..yeah.. Complete it with that bass drum and snare .. :p

[@malonedrum]

A lot of the times you’re hearing high end dream drums it’s under a lot of microphones and editing. Makes you wonder if that’s really what you wanted in the first place.

[@RimshotsandNamaste]

@@malonedrum mm..weird: yt just gave me the notification!! .. Yes!! Listened to aaaa lot of dcp drum reviews! It's really nice nice that they take the time to show how it sounds with just room mic's but.. The difference how it sounds in close micing: surreal!!

[@dye182]

I def could use those cb lugs

[@malonedrum]

Email me at [e-mail] and I could maybe sell them to you!

[@babaceeloe]

Sweet job!! You should put black dot heads on all of them.

[@malonedrum]

If I was willing to spend any money on this project, I would totally do it!

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Wonder if you could get a frame drum type sound for some tribal beats by using something like Remo Skyntone or Evans Calftone heads on these.

[@malonedrum]

I sure, very similar shell style

[@alejandrobustos2268]

Satin Black metalic.

[@malonedrum]

Yeah, would be clean

[@drumdotpizza]

Love it!

[@malonedrum]

Fan of your work, keep it up!

[@sallysez]

Those wristwatch lugs are popular in the MIJ world.

[@malonedrum]

Yes, they are cool, and I kept them to use on a future drum.

[@peelproductions1971]

Hi Mike, what’s that stuff you used to take the logo of drum heads? Do you know if it will work on coated heads. I’m doing up an old set of ludwig’s and want to get rid of the remo brand on the front head to add a ludwig transfer. thanks

[@malonedrum]

I used goof off, it works well on clear or ebony heads, but on coated heads it will also take off the coating.

[@deaterk]

Peel Productions - Acetone works very well to remove drum head and cymbal logos

[@MTuriano]

Nicely done. I really enjoyed it. FWIW, I like the black interior, not so sure about the green.

[@malonedrum]

I'm pretty much with you on the color.

[@clausdate8142]

Nice work dude, if You ever get to Denmark I got a 6” concert Tom for You. Then You only need a 18” to complete a full Set. Btw Your snare sounds 110% awesome !😎👍🎶🔨👌

[@malonedrum]

Deal!

[@babaceeloe]

Haters are gonna hate,,,, I love the green

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Great job! I have to admit I don’t like the colour either 😂

[@malonedrum]

Fair.

[@brothermyke6523]

You could have saved Phil Collins a small fortune. You obtained the Collins toms sound and they sound awesome.

[@malonedrum]

Ha, I doubt Gretsch was charging him for all those drums, but maybe I could have saved them a few bucks.

[@tomkelsey2303]

I would have painted the CTs a gloss white, like Phil C.!

[@malonedrum]

Yeah, if you watch part one, you can see the process of how I ended up with green as an accident, but yeah "Full Phil" could have been cool.

[@alejandrobustos2268]

¿What product do you use to erase the logos?

[@malonedrum]

Goof Off

[@alejandrobustos2268]

@@malonedrum ¿Is it the name of the trademark? Impossible to find it in my country. But what is the component or chemical of the product that manages to erase the paint from the logos?

Fourth tom may have some BE issues

[@malonedrum]

Quite possibly, if I really anticipated them being something I’d use a ton, I’d probably cut from better shells and new edges. More of a proof of concert for me, and a way to recycle the drums. I hear ya though!

[@bruceperkins2921]

need a 6"er

[@malonedrum]

Send me the shell and head, and I'll build it! I thought about making one out of a PVC pipe, but I can't buy a short piece.

[@bruceperkins2921]

@@malonedrum the pvc pipe drum is a difficult find! it has to be 6" o.d. they make that size but its not common. and as you said youll have to buy a bunch of it.
