Drum hacks - homemade direct drive

Direct Drive Conversion Kit homemade. (Simple and very cheap to make).

[@johnwisehart9344]

Now I gotta go steal some kid's scooter out of his yard. This is great!Thanks man 😊 I'll keep you posted on my progress.

[@drumfanatik316]

Great idea and well executed! I’ve always said drummers are the most inventive people out there!!!

[@enayetkhan9397]

I designed and 3d printed one from scratch. So far it has been holding up great. You can check it out on my channel, let me know your thoughts!

[@indonesianambidextrous]

Saya dari Indonesia, sudah pakai cara ini sejak 3 tahun lalu. Cukup membantu bagi yang ekonominya belum cukup.

[@ncimson5318]

It looks damn good aqnd cheap. Id be doing this conversion using this guys tutorial. now off to the bike junkyard and ace. Thanks for sharing bro. Keep on drumming!

[@FernandoArouche]

Impressive! Congrats 👏🏼

Hi im from the Philippines i just want you to know that Im very thankful for this brilliant idea you've shared to us drummers this idea helps me a lot

[@nano-pz1vk]

Thank you bro.

You're always welcome

Straight up genius level right here.

[@scroojmusictutorials4054]

A lot more simple than the other one I saw. The other one literally was more difficult than building a pedal from scratch

[@nano-pz1vk]

simple and functional so far. 8 months of use.

Genius!! i will try on my pedal!! Thanks for the idea lml

[@nano-pz1vk]

thanks, if you need help, ask!!!

[@Dave-lr2wo]

Not bad! I think you should use locknuts, however, to attach the pedal.

[@arise8078]

This is really cool. going to expirement with this on my single pedal, and if I like it, i'll do it to my double pedal.

[@junior4dope]

hahahah very nice. I admire your cleverness

[@skatepark02]

Genius idea! Another method could be to bolt some sort of splint against the chain instead to stop it flopping around, essentially making it a direct drive

[@superdaddy23]

Congratulations, I greet you from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@nano-pz1vk]

Thanks, it's very cheap to make One. Mine remains funcional.

[@blvckno_1]

You've found one rdavidr hasn't done yet, bravo 👏👏👏

[@baorozzo]

While I appreciate the idea to try to solve this (it’s in fact really smart, imho), a thing I must say: these parts that you are reusing are not made for that kind of work, doesn’t have bearing and probably will wears off quickly, really quickly. At least lubricate them to make them last longer. Keep up innovating!

[@rijalbukandrummer7945]

very nice and I like it..I'll tried my Drum Pedal too (sorry for my english spelling) lack of my language

thanks for great idea. Does anyone try it? any better?

[@IamLearningViolin]

Amazing video. In the thumbnail, you show the offset double pedal. Do you use that pedal? I clicked on this as they sell a conversion kit for that but it's terrible.

[@nano-pz1vk]

Hi, i use a single pedal, but you can use a double pedal. I think its the same thing.

[@DugiDevetCarabolium]

The real question is, is it really smoother and faster then original chain with this home made direct drive modification?

[@innie721]

its a cool idea but a direct drive doesn't collapse in the middle like that, since it collapses it'll feel more like a chain pedal

[@ncimson5318]

Whys collapsing in the middle? If you look at the store bought one its the same as far as where it bends and his invention is even adjustable

[@innie721]

@@ncimson5318 at 8:10 when the footboard moves up, there is slack created due to the linkage. I own czarcie kopyto and axis pedals, neither of them work that way

[@manuelfernandez302]

Me gusta mucho tu invento, pero eso estaria bien para un pedal medio decente, pues ese pedal es bastante malo y no merece la pena reformarlo, pero me quedo con la idea,(muy buena).

[@nano-pz1vk]

Hi, i think so. This just changes the original chain. Good Luck

[@sp1ne674]

@@nano-pz1vk thank you

[@quorthonsinferno5119]

Neat idea, but considering some pedals cough axis cough are known to snap the drive link, I dont know how practical this is considering they are solid machined parts. I could definitely see those threads tearing out after a few weeks. Just not worth the time or money imo

[@dreddmann9292]

This was cool but you didn't show it in action. The video was cool and all at first but very disappointing in the end. I don't like to assume that it works, i wanted to see it and hear it with my own ears and eyes. I thought you where going to showcase it in action at the very end. Even though i dont like to assume but you not showing it action tells me that it must of broke easily and immediately upon playing.

[@garybond4813]

what size coupling was that I'm looking to get the parts today

[@nano-pz1vk]

Hi, it was to be the standard size.

[@jim3965]

STOP WITH THE GODDAMN GUESSING GAME !!!!!!! START....... by showing the before and after....... don’t make us keep track while you one hand the damn build because you can’t remember where you left your camera stand. Good conversion ???? Maybe.... but I don’t have time for horse sit production

[@Arma_drums_13]

This isn't a good way to make a "direct drive" and the reason why is be cause it's supposed to be as direct as possible so when you push on the pedal, it should be a direct response, but for this, it might not even be the same, and it doesn't help that he didn't show the pedal in action. Second I think this is just a "cheap" way to improve your pedal, but in reality it's not, you'll have to buy the clamps and the nut, cut the screws to an unknown size because that wasn't specified, and get lucky that both screws will be exactly aligned with each other to put it on the pedal. Honestly, don't waste your time and effort, but buy a conversion kit for the pedal, or even just buy a new one. Gibraltar has a direct drive pedal for like $70. In the end don't waste your time, be smart and don't do this.

[@nano-pz1vk]

Hello, if you can buy a new direct drive it is very good. I just did it, because mine broke the chain. There is no point in making a video work because it is best to test it to feel the effect. This is a good method, for those with little money like me. Of course, it takes some technique to build.
