His kit is pretty well put together. I once tried doing the same using empty quaker oat containers and coffee tins. My buddy made a milk carton ukulele and actually did a good job at tuning the rubber bands well enough to sound notes clearly. We spent the entire afternoon trying to put a song together with our homemade instruments, until finally (by accident) he discovered the correct notes for 'Down on the corner' by CCR and rehearsed the crap out of it until we felt ready enough to make an actual tape recording. Mind you we were 12 and 13 at the time and had aspirations of being rockstars when we got older, and though our dreams didn't take off that way we found a hell of a lot of amusement in playing instruments that we made out of discarded food containers.

this is kind of a common misconception, limbs dont need a so called "mind of their own", they dont need to be seperately processed, because it is the relationship between the rhythms and types of sound that dictate what comes next, all you need is to be concentrated on those relationships and everything else comes automatically. not as easy as it sounds tho.

I wish setups like this were actually used more often in real life situations whether it be recording or live. They just give off such a unique, but still very good sound. It's like there is a whole category of drum sounds that are never used and we therefore miss out on just because it looks weird or "unprofessional". Who cares what it looks like! It's music and the only thing that should matter in music is what it sounds like, and I think it sounds pretty damn good!!

[@beatsbydr.draven1932]

I agree! However as a gigging musician, another thing that matters is ease of portability unfortunately, which can limit really cool ideas like this on stage unless you have a large trailer, or are using it for the studio :)

[@JesseCase]

Yeah that's true, I didn't think about that. It probably wouldn't be too big of a deal to set it up a time or two in the studio, but to have to set all that up every night for live performances would be quite a hassle. Not really doable unless it was a top band that had a huge crew to set it up and the equipment to haul it.

[@juergenkulmermusic]

Oh yes, Jesse Case. Thanks. I was surprised by myself that it sounded that good and had so much pleasure and fun. Some people don´t get that i don´t want to compare with other drumsets. it can´t sound like a real drumset. BUT it sounds amazing by itself. and i think it´s also the fastest way to get a "kinda drum" thing build. that´s it. i would have been freaked out as i child if i knew that it is possible to easy build a kit while i was playing on washing powder drums with sausage cases, umbrella stuff and galvanized sheet metal. 😂😂

[@ShawnJonesHellion]

its already breaking down an moving an needing adjusted an hes barely playing it. n the nerve damage pain n numbness that comes from hitting metal objects that stay in place isnt fun. also nerve damage will occur from being in weird positions the body isn't designed to do. i bet you give any homeade kit ive played on or seen on here to a modern metal, rap, deathstep, or other "new" type music (like lets say lorna shores drummer) an they break it fast *an* go to the hospital to get their body checked

[@PoppaBadger]

I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE!!!👍👍👍 This fellow has me building a set for the heck of it but I'm going to tie the skins to different sized buckets with the bottoms cut out as shells and the snare will be tied to a tin pie plate with small pebbles to create the "snare" sound. And the ideas just keep coming!!! This fellow is brilliant and may have broken some rules about what can sound good, but without using any traditional drum parts. And even the tone can be changed by using different materials and/or skins tied to the bucket shells. So many possibilities.

Hello Anima Libera, it´s funny you have the same t-shirt and also played the drying rack. *haha*! bene!

[@Delrada]

I love the fact that there's a DW set in the background and this looks like more fun to play.

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

Anything to sell the kids in the house on chores is worth the love...

[@Gdisele]

He is using a DW pedal for the bass drum.

If you microphone it well and use some sound editing in post this can be made to sound very very good. Even if you only use piezoelectric mics, they can be used to trigger some samples from a proper kit recorded in a full fledged recording studio. I like the ingenuity. Keep it up.

[@williambradfordbaldwin4386]

This is great, I tried to show some of my students how to make drum sets out of junk, I think I taped a makeshift beater to my foot with tape once, it worked great! Very good ideas here, good imagination!!

[@juergenkulmermusic]

Dear William Bradford Baldwin thank you. My first beater was the stick from the Competition Pro (Joystick, Amiga)

The passion this man has for drumming is amazing. I'd never have thought of this, your dry kit (?) Sounds great though. Keep it up.

[@Sentence4Leeder]

Just insane

[@N0stalgicLeaf]

This reminds me of that video where a guy wanted to find out exactly what gives a guitar it's tone. So he starts altering and removing parts until he's left with strings suspended in tension and pickups suspended under the strings and it still sounds awesome. I mean, this isn't the same, but it's cool nonetheless.

[@wubbalubbajapjap1739]

toms sound better than mine

[@rolandhillmann6503]

😂😂😂🤘

[@williamwilliam728]

The one thing I know about percussionists is they started by banging on something else before getting their drum set. Listening to the acoustics of everything they tapped on and finding the sound to create the rhythm. I listened to a band in the Philippines and the drummer during his solo went around the bar and started drumming on any and everything imaginable to make it part of his solo. I was blown away at how good and creative he was. Rock on Dude!

[@user-cj4fu8qq9b]

what band was this

[@smurf100000]

Me too, pillows and boxes

[@juergenkulmermusic]

Yeah William William. I also knocked and tipped and tapped on every survace so my friends kinda freaked out. this was many years before i got into drums. Thanks, J.

[@Jonny_Jackson]

nicht schlecht, genauso kreativ wie ich. LG KZbinr Jonny_Jackson

[@PoppaBadger]

Had to watch it again!!!👍 You could use different sized buckets for the shells to give it more tone. This is a great idea that could be made into something truly amazing. To keep the skins on the buckets, you could use the old tie them on with string to the buckets. And even use a small bucket with beans or something that could rattle to make a snare-like drum as well. Many possibilities, so thank you for one of the best ideas I've ever seen!!!👍👍👍💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏

[@genewilliams617]

Good call with the small bucket-0-beans for a "snare drum" sound. I can TOTALLY hear that. The first violin I bought for my then classical playing daughter, had been formerly used by a bluegrass fiddler and had a rattlesnake rattle wedged thru the F holes for a purcussive effect. It was old and beatup, needing some restoration, so THAT was the first thing to go. Although 10 years later, she became a Cape Breton fiddler.

[@PoppaBadger]

@@genewilliams617 That's awesome!!!👍 It always makes me excited to hear that a younger person has taken interest in one instrument or another, so good for her. I'm sure you're very proud.👍🙂 That snakeskin violin (I think you mentioned something about snakeskin.lol) sounds like something you might want to keep. They don't make them like that anymore, unless you have one custom made, which would cost a small fortune. Great to hear that there is another young, up and comer. Best of luck to all of you!!!🙂👍🙏🙏🙏

[@PoppaBadger]

@@genewilliams617 I've seen people make the snare from shoe laces, taping a tambourine to the bottom (which sounded quite amazing), laying several small chains together across the top skin and a few others that I can't think of right now. It's amazing what you can do and with what, especially in a pinch.😳🙂👍🙏🙏🙏

[@PoppaBadger]

​@@genewilliams617That's fantastic!!!👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@johncastillo2942]

I love it! Being a dad on a budget I can really appreciate this. Well done!

[@gianlucapedone679]

Sounds good 😎

[@danieljliverslxxxix1164]

The drums do not make the drummer.

[@Citizen0fUtopia]

That is some extreme level of engineering ingenuity! My man, it's time to start a drum cover channel with this kit! seriously, think about it

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

First thing that must be said about the engineering is... It's gorilla tape Second thing to say is... What the hell else do you do with grandma's old stocking dry rack?

[@guitarcomet5]

The kick pedal is far too professional to be used in such a set. Speed King would be good enough.

[@benningbenningmeier4583]

Awesome👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@juergenkulmermusic]

Thanks 🤗

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

The guys got the groove so that’s why it sounds so good!

[@LeakyJAZZ]

The drums themselves cost less than a meal out, but the mics alone cost more than my whole drumset. Plus, a nice kick pedal. This isn’t exactly an example of “poor person can’t afford kit but they love to play so much that they make do” and more of a “person tries to see if he could make a drumset with only drumheads”

[@AgeofReason]

Yeah it's not all that

[@orangenotviolet]

The Sound is amazing and leaves a lot space for the Bass, make a sample set out of this and sell it!

[@kazumakztrucking6514]

Drumming is so freaking cool how you can do all this seen so many different types of these videos but it's still cool how people can create such sounds that can create such emotional feelings for people. Even on just a piece of plastic the basic fundamentals still apply. Got to love music. Cool idea.

[@juergenkulmermusic]

thanks for the great and kind words.

[@shigalamisalami]

You should play it with over there🥁🤣

I can't come to band practise today, my wife has just done some washing.

When you where warming up I was skeptical but your slick enough that it sounds sweet
