[@mariuszwisniewski2016]

What is the delay between recording and uploading your videos?

[@RealTateMoment]

U should stay safe too

[@NominalTopic]

You too man. Looking forward to your quarantine videos. Tons of studio stuff, maybe?

Aliexpress has a buuuunch of inexpensive drum parts. I bought a large amount of stuff for less than 300 bucks with shipping. I'm talking 90 lugs, 40 tension rods, 40 bass drum claws, and a bunch of other stuff.

I imagine David being some kinda salesman. Somewhere in the middle east down some back ally in a bazaar and you see this huge carpet with him sitting in the middle surrounded by all sorts of drums. He tells you tales about each drum and gives you the history all while looking at your bag of gold hungrily. He doesn't need it, he wants it. He wants you to buy his drums. He is the wealthiest yet most hidden man in the bazaar, only the lucky and the curious stumble upon him.

[@pxelprime]

😂 this is amazing

[@dustintextor1797]

I have a dozen Pearl air vents... I'll drop one in an envelope for ya, I'll never use all of them.

I suffer from the same buy/sell addiction. Mine only recently extended from guitars/amps into drums. The fact I enjoy watching other people’s wheeling/dealing might say something

[@notLL5]

yay more drums that we wont see anytime in the future

[@ekudrums]

David, i think you have an addiction for buying drums at this point.

[@bethlehemeisenhour8352]

help others.

[@KSandy-iy6fg]

He's making money from it too

[@joshuaoverton3190]

Is it addiction when you make money off of it? Actually yeah probably

[@parkermurray7435]

I’m a little concerned about Dave guys, his addiction is getting out of control.

[@missgradenkoMC]

With the granstars his last name should be Grohl

[@brunch1691980]

Practicing would do him more good by far...

I understand. I do this with microphones and drums to a lesser degree.

[@joeyscotch2765]

Bro, have you ever gotten the chance to combine all or most of the drums into one huge kit? I wanna see the large drum set you could have

[@charlesseagraves6210]

You keep this up David, and I’m gonna report you to the TV show, “Hoarders!” Just kidding... 😎

[@sarojaband4664]

That Pearl 12" x 7" Soprano snare drum is fantastic for Latin work with snares off as a timbale. I loved mine, and gave it to a friend who plays in a great Latin pop band. It has a thicker Maple shell [8ply 10mm] which gives it surprising body and crack. Suggested upgrades would be Puresound snares and experiment w/ different batter heads, especially Aquarian Vintage and Evans UV2 translucent. Nice restoration, as always!

[@gregdibattista6449]

Thanks so much for your videos! I'm a long time drummer for 35 years. I've seen it all or at least I thought I have ! I enjoy everything about your vids from your performances, to the drum hacks , to repair and restoration. You do great work . But, what I enjoy even more is your no- nonsense ,bullshit free down to earth attitude and work ethic. Something that's in short supply these days. Thanks again man!

[@joeeyestrada6205]

Bro that's dope you have some old school marching tri toms! Try to put them back together and sell them? (Left to right) 24 , 20 , 22 . I would love to see that man .

[@sagegracemusic5981]

FUN FACT!! That snare drum was used by Jeff Buckley’s drummer. If you want to hear it check out his live in Chicago videos on KZbin. It is an absolute CANNON!!!

[@mycarpultunnel]

Great video david! More videos! This is so rad.

[@martinkent_]

Do more vlogs like these! They are super fun to watch and also give me some ideas about how to resell drums, which I’m interested in doing!

[@sikswitch1334]

Man,America is insane market for drums. There's no way you could hook-up any of the stuff here in oz

[@weschilton]

I have that exact Pearl soprano drum. I used it as my main snare for almost 8 years, its great sounding drum and perfect for when you have to stuff a kit onto a small stage.

[@andrewwarrendrums8969]

Awesome video! Love the drums you find man!

[@fuzzfire]

My fathers kit is a Granstar, 14 inch snare, and toms go, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16. Used to be wrapped yellow and he stained them a dark blue since the wrap was ruined. Love the sound of them, and just recently got a Superstar Classic kit

[@jacobquackenbush2981]

Haven’t watched any of your videos in a while , Awesome to see you are still doing the same stuff :)

[@amwitty_]

Seeing this makes me want to buy everything being sold on reverb asap

[@davidfaria6194]

Beautiful snare

[@Drumsholic]

Stay safe man!! Take care!!Nice video as always!!!

[@357rawrock]

You’re the guy, thanks buddy!

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

I love these videos dude keep on 👌🏻👍🏻

[@loko306]

Great! I hope one day you make a video where you build a complete drum set from scratch. That would be a bomb

[@eusouoestuca]

the vistalite kit is gorgeous!

[@Shrimpy08]

Looks cool

[@JulianFernandez]

so cool. thanks for sharing!

[@haggai32]

those vistalites are majestic

[@BADD400]

Great video David

[@vincentyoung1571]

You should make a giant drumset with the concert toms using them as regular toms

[@kierondurrant6320]

Yea you should do a uphaul on any drum kit and stain it during the lockdown as that will be a fun video to watch as I’m looking to stain a ddrum diatribe kit and I would love some help ! So making this video reaquest would make my day (or lockdown) 🙌 thanks

[@lucasnaylor5446]

Have you ever tried making a nesting kit? Would you consider doing a video where you detail the process?

[@aaronrivas7237]

You'd think these type of videos would br weird but I love them

[@arturofernandez6088]

I liked the insight on your business

[@derekkolaga3525]

I like that Vistalite drum set!

[@thomasmoje5926]

I have a Ludwig Vistalite drum kit..clear blue original series circa 1976. 5-piece with Supersensitive 5 x 14" COB snare. Drums in really great shape no cracks just a few scuff marks. It's a player kit I don't 'buy and flip' drums per se. Paid considerably more for my Vistalite kit but I'm OK with that love playing them. That Vistalite kit you picked up looks to be that classic 'Zep' configuration.

[@redelbluredelmai2750]

What a coincidence.. I just bought a used 12x7 Black Panther snare last month! Gave it a nice clean and removed some rust on the rims and put it back together. It sounds great. Hope you’re doing fine man.

[@cayninx7993]

man, the vistalite kit is so pretty, i’d love to own that thing

[@coolatta1]

I can feel my back hurting w those marching duos. Can’t imagine marching those especially without how good harnesses of today are.

[@lajeanette33]

I wanna ear those giants concert toms 😁😂

[@cesarcastelo8610]

nice wood that pearl at t he end

[@jayvalle50]

You should make those concert toms into a kit😎🤘

[@doomsdaydad2488]

I'm a total novice drummer but I would totally buy that Ludwig amber kit, that thing is rad! But my wife said I have to learn to play the kit I have now before I buy anything else, dang.

[@faperito2389]

Smart wife ;)

[@valda8925]

Woa, I wanna see bass drumming on four concert toms :D

[@SoldierDonut]

Man that vistalite is my like the most beautiful kit ever! Not jus cause of John Bohnam but just it is a looker! I would kill for that kit... probably sounds huge too... love that sound

[@user-vf9ss4kk2x]

do more of these vids!!!

[@TheSalPic]

Make all the duo toms into bass drums. ALL OF THEM!

[@woodyTM]

a new video! wonderful morning!

[@Shrimpy08]

Jonah Woodside you are first

[@barberjeff67]

I've found that Remo snare sides seem to have a deeper collar on them so the hoop will sit flush with the bearing edge without me cranking it. I switched to Aquarian and no issues.

[@nicky4917]

So lucky with that Ludwig set man, legit dream set

[@mcnastythebeast]

I want that pearl snare David

[@HaydesGrooves]

Can you do a video on the snare please. I have the same snare just want to see a recondition on it.

[@KoosCronje]

David can you please make a video of all the kits you own..?

[@clicks59]

Hi Dave. Love your channel and ingenuity! I have a 70's Ludwig chrome over wood kit in my home studio. Three toms and a 22" bass. It's in decent condition for it's age. I want to scale down to a smaller jazz kit. I have a good 14" snare. (65 ludwig marine pearl) What's the best band for my buck? I should ask what what you buy? I am not a drummer! Thanks!

[@DavidLopes4]

You should check out heartbeat and Istanbul cymbals, trust me they’re crazy good

[@richmosesnow]

Can you or did you make a video on how to make the lug gaskets with equipment list etc?

[@AlbertDOnofrio]

I would like to make one of those 22" Stainless steel Drums into a floor toms.

[@EyesoreJr]

I would love to see what it would sound like to use low “e” bass strings as snares on the bottom of a snare. What do you think Dave?

[@hammarn]

Isn't that white footboard stand the first stand you bought? I couldn't ever sell something like that

[@tizzdizz]

Please make a gong bass or floor tom out of one of those stainless steel duos!

[@TempoDrift1480]

I always wanted that snare with those lugs. All the ones I find have the double masters style lugs😕

[@rdavidr]

its on reverb waiting for you! lol

[@HaydesGrooves]

I also need an air vent for my pearl snare. Where can I get one and did you get new hoops for the snare. The hole sizes isn't normal as in the number of lugs.

[@dye182]

Shoulda took the 22” concert toms joined them together made a super long kick drum and use the 20” and make a snare

[@rocknrolloutlaw6113]

Hey bud can you please upload a video on proper pre cleaning used drums and post maintenance.. or if you have one already can you send me the link....Thanks...

[@kamilpeciak1543]

This Granstar actually looks nice! Is the sound any good? And there Ludwig concert toms are just ridiculous, have you thought about converting one 22" into bass drum and another one into pancake drum?

Can you do a DIY Zildjian Spiral Stacker Cymbal?

[@crooked-5857]

So I'm restoring my buddies beat up Pearl Forum and I've restored other kits as Well to the point Im pretty comfortable being "that drummer." But I was wondering of you have any tips for someone who would like to do what you're doing. Buying, restoring, flipping? HUGE fan ive watched all your vids. Thank you for being an influence for me. Stay safe

[@johncall7532]

Seems fine to me. Thank god I'm not alone.

That dude from meshuggah might want em, his studio has a kit made entirely of Ludwig bass drums

[@DrUmSensitive]

Hey, man! I buyed a vintage Olypmpic by Premier chrome snare, 14"x5". The problem is, the snare mechanism is only in "traces" - meaning the part to mount the lines for snares is missing. Any ideas for a replacement? Cheers!

[@helloperson6431]

Nice.

[@KingdomPropertyMaintenance124]

Yooo you should make one of those Ludwig consert toms into a huge side snare drum

[@KingdomPropertyMaintenance124]

Oops I meant concert , and also did you know God cares about you so much and so you never loose hope , and God loves you so much and everyone on earth , I just want you to know that you are loved so much. We are going through some doubtful times and I pray for everyone during this time because people are going to feel some emotions(sadness, depression, doubt, and many other emotions that ruin our day) during these times of social distancing. Also did you know if you trust in Christ and except a gift that God has freely given too you for you too choose. (Jesus who died on the cross for you and me, and everyone ) , you will freely gifted eternal rightousness if you do. How do I do it ? Well you have trust that when you die you have a confidence that you are given an eternal life with your Great loving creater God, as cheesy as all this may seems it is just so obvious , why you want to die with no meaning to your life. Well when God gave his only son Jesus , God used him in a good way as a great gift of eternal life , So a man who lived a perfect life with no sin against God because he was God, and on a cross he died so we could expect a gift of eternal life and free the great burden of our sin that we use to comfort our selves from reality. In other words Jesus death and barial and Resurrection. Gave us not grief that a man was killed but a payment to God for all of the ten commandments we have broken before him. In the Bible it says that God is a holy rightful judge in a court and you have broken his law and you are being sentences to death , but some body named Jesus that loves you and cares for you pays your fine so that you are free from being judged rightfully before God , remember that God doesn't hate he literally sent his only son do die so you could live with God the rest of your eternal life because he loves you so. I bet you wouldn't send your own son to die for people who hate you because of the fact that your are a law offical , think about it for a minute if you were an officer and you caught somebody breaking the law and you bring them to judge them before the law. They will hate you because you caught them doing something they shouldn't. You would want to pay there fine ? But God loves us so much that he did pay our fine so we could live a life with God forever with no burden of sin and darkness and he provides you light in the darkest parts of life. So remember except Jesus into your heart because , if it was you that had payed a fine for a criminal and they didn't care or even say thank you or acknowledge you would be hurt so much emotionally. Wouldn't you ? That is how much it hurts Jesus when you don't expect a free gift that he has given you , and I guarantee you that you will have eternal life once you you except Jesus into your heart and love God for making you , you will gain eternal life as Jesus says in the Bible. I went out of my way today because I love you and God loves you. Also if this is all fake you loose nothing at all. Think about it, it is just prayer and have faith that God is real which he is. So think about this would you it is your life you thinking about not material goods , like Jesus said "a man can gain the whole world but loose his own soul" and Jesus doesn't care if you are as poor as dirt he will always love you .
