Drum Hacks With Sugru

[@eatsleepgamereview]

Please make a sugru bass beater!

[@thedon1551]

+Will O'Farrell I like this idea!

[@loveroflife1438]

Amazing

[@brandonquod4910]

Ya that would be really cool

[@St3v30h]

DO IT!

[@meganprocter9198]

Will O'Farrell yes

[@EldeTabernas]

Maybe a sugru-based practice pad could be interesting...

[@thebayoudiaries8389]

Galo Asecas yeah

[@gormygorm]

That would need a lot of sugru

[@jacobsingson12_]

lol how much sugru would it take to make even a small one.

[@layz_gaming_4275]

I would say that it would take like 100 packs

[@mitchinatr7093]

Neat idea tbh.

[@ajgdrums24]

I'm digging the snare chops!!!

[@MakeSomething]

Every cymbal bag in the history of cymbal bags has a broken zipper. #truth. Great vid!

[@rdavidr]

+Make Something Thanks dude, but right?! Its happened to every cymbal bagI've owned.

[@michellelaborn3469]

rdavidr are the tips removable?

[@drumsNstuff79]

I recently made shoestring zipper pulls for my hardware bag. It is a nice one with wheels. But zipping that zipper over a packed bag with wingscrews and stand feet sticking out and they just broke. BTW why do people at bars have to ask you if it's a "bodybag"? Really? Yah bro a dead body is in there! lol..

[@ResultsLawnCare]

Make Something what up David! Funny seeing one of my favorite makers here!

[@EV1NRUDE]

Make Something lol

[@justforthetv]

Lmfaoooooo at the drum key getting sucked into the abyss

[@Darknight-fv6vk]

The Eternal Abyss!!!😮😮

[@emlix1]

That's where most of mine are.

[@depa_kid.2646]

If you keep it on a piece of paper or the kitchen manual it will stay there. I just fixed life's biggest issue

[@olivecool]

It’s..... gone... I.... I don’t know what to say.

[@Twotoesohyeah]

what about a sugru bass beater?

[@Nosotroslosgamers]

I dont even plan on being a drummer, but the order and dedication this guy haves is just inspiring.

[@Ankylophobia]

+Patrick Thomas as a drummer, I'm just curious why you're on this channel if you don't play and have no interest in playing? I've seen a few comments on David's videos saying similar things. No offense of course, I think it's great. Just wondering :)

[@Nosotroslosgamers]

+Ankylophobia Read my comment twice answer is there

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

New hats??

[@rdavidr]

+Drum Beats Online Yep, I actually returned those and got different ones.

[@rdavidr]

+Drum Beats Online oh wow, I just realized the ones I kept are the ones at the end of the video lol

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Haha what are those? 15" Traditionals?

[@rdavidr]

+Drum Beats Online 14" mediums

[@rdavidr]

Which was your favorite? Also, how would you use this around your kit?

[@ltmusic1988]

Could this be used as a semi permanent drum mute/dampening device

[@the6ig6adwolf]

my favorite was waking up and watching a 9 minute drum hack video, perfect way to start the day.

[@rdavidr]

+Louis Turner Itd probably work, but it would be a one time thing. Once you peel it off it probably wouldnt stick to the head again.

[@ltmusic1988]

+rdavidr thanks I'll have to check it out

[@jacobsellick4475]

Would they fix sticks?

[@kennethkunie4978]

I don't have a favorite but I don't have a less favorite. all I know is you rdavidr are a drum genius. you come up with the best ideas for drums and drumming I have ever seen. you have saved me money by using some of your ideas and the best part is they work.

[@brandonflynn9134]

I get so much joy looking at your videos

[@coiLz0r911]

Your combo of drumming and crafting content is so incredibly satisfying to watch. And those beats, too!

[@MatthewParsonsDrumsAndAudio]

I really liked the practice stick hack. That seems very useful.

[@ILovePickleface]

I love that I watched this video from beginning to end with rapt attention and I am not a drummer, I have never used sugru, and never seen this channel. A soothing voice and informative narration hypnotized me 0_0 Loved it!

[@TheUncleRuckus]

1 Tip for Sugru is to store it in the Freezer, it has a shelf life and storing it in the freezer extends it massively. I still a couple boxes of Sugru in my freezer from when I bought like 5 boxes 6 Years ago and believe it or not it still works just as well as it did when I bought it. I actually just tried the "practice tips" for the sticks on my Rockband Drum Kit to stop the loud crack sound when playing and it works great. Can't believe I never thought of that before. 👍👍

[@ramenexe]

7:10 that looks like vic firth ms6 that i use for my snare (marching snare)

[@hydratek365]

I'm actually a trumpet player and have no idea why I watched this, great vid though :)

[@abedinsubashi]

HydraTek use sugru for decoration (put some on the knobs on the valves

[@Barrett28FTW]

What are you playing when you tested the practice tips?? That sounds cool and I'd like to learn it

[@georgekelp]

I'd also like to know what rudiments you played.

[@bingaborgo501]

Same!

[@adamlock458]

I think it’s a paradiddlediddle followed by a mix of flam taps and flam tap taps

[@mariposa4761]

What is that lick at 7:24

[@edsalisch4322]

How bout as felts for your cymbals?

[@user-wr6vq8ec9v]

+ed salisch this!

[@godzillazf18]

i really liked how you formed the sugru to fix the Drum key on the hi hat stand! well done

[@CarlosLopez-xi2rq]

Used it years ago to repair a cymbal stand, haven't moved since yet! Sugru is awsome!

[@zacklamb]

Dude I just found your channel and I watched like 15 videos in a row this is great stuff, man. Keep it up.

[@handidrummed]

My favorite was the key holder on the hi-hat stand, but I wonder how well the shape holds up after the stand being in a hardware bag.

[@lukehall5332]

I love the whole practice stick idea! I play tenors for my highschool band and tenor practice pads are expensive, so this is a really cheap way to be quiet and still be able to practice

[@getlikeus1247]

Sugru! So awesome! My favorite has to be the key holder on the hihat stand. I'm always looking for my tuning key.

[@toolify]

Those were some great ideas! Drum key + magnet was my favorite. Thanks :)

[@rdavidr]

+FastEasySmartTOOL Thanks man! do you play drums? love your channel!

[@toolify]

+rdavidr - Thank you! Yea, I do play drums. I love your channel too! We should talk... maybe even make a video together some day?

[@fadedanxiety7589]

+FastEasySmartTOOL yeah! now he can lose the key anywhere not just the floor! funny stuff

[@frenchieoceiana5924]

I did the drum key one and it is great, also did it for my drum sticks on this CD holder hanging on my wall next to my drum set and I love it it's very handy to have my sticks there

[@stevejoeallen429]

yeah, i love just the little innovative things. you could do what you did for the hi hat key stand, but bigger on your kick drum to hold sticks steady, or even on the side of your floor tom at some weird angle would be very handy. The idea of cymbal sleeves is good, but it might take a lot of damage, so i reckon it would make better felts, which you could make bigger depending on how dampening you want them to be. separators for cymbal stacks, just to keep contact points healthy. it might roll out thin to make a nice kick beater pad/ dampener. You could easily fashion or attach cable holders/ hooks for multicores to keep them nice and tidy. Depending on the reverb coefficient, it might be a healthy alternative to neoprene for mic stand dampening for the feet, if not at least an easy replacement mic stand feet that always go bloody missing! if you wanna delve deeper into this kind of brain fart let me know, i'll happily indulge you via email!

[@jimmmyworthington6183]

the bass ring one really helped. thank you

[@Plaughrey]

I really enjoyed the bass drum hoop saver hack, as well as the magnetic drum key. totally going to do that one!

[@prestond.3339]

For the drum keys and loose screws and such i have this old .30 caliber ammo can that i put sticks and keys under my floor tom.

[@metalknight1100]

First of all... Holy damn your technique is amazing! That test on the table frikkin' blew me away haha! But to the point. I'm curious about your bass drum pedal... It looks like a sort of frankenstein pedal, made with parts from different companies. Could you tell me (or make a video) about it, the base of it, what changes you made etc? Really love it and I'm curious! Keep up the awesome work!

[@yournotsmart8045]

Its a pearl pedal with an iron cobra plate

[@Jakebluez-ps9jo]

I don't play drums but this is one of my favorite channels for the music and the building you do and my favorite hack was the one about the drum keys that was a smart idea .keep it up your loyal fan jake

[@tylerjacobs6395]

How about using the sugru for a cymbal mute?for example, putting it on the edge.

[@oppagaming451]

5:54 i literally thought he was gonna make mallets

[@fey265]

Lmao same

[@cockatoomusiccovers1951]

Yes

[@BrickLogicStudios]

Good job on 16k subs!

[@scottyrocket4785]

Love the magnet on the key trick! I'm gonna do that.

[@JonahBoudreaux]

Honestly was so excited when he started talking about scojo and dci 😂

[@JustAnotherPerc]

Is the background song at 5:30 also the song that Adam Neely uses for his q+a intro (superfast instagram q and a)?

[@drumbeatsonsheets3434]

Dude that stuff is pure magic! Really cool ideas too! Probs gonna use it as a drum key holder sometime! 🥁👌

[@techfluidity7881]

I actually used Sugru on one of my sticks, where the nylon tip kept popping off as I played. It worked surprisingly well.

[@kylewilson3119]

great vid, huge fan!!!! Keep up the great work

[@jennadurbin7962]

my FAV was the drum stick hack and I would use it for organization

[@bunz4814]

7:28 what's the name of the rudiment

[@wyatt7231]

Papa Ramen sounds like double strokes with a couple well placed flams

[@mariposa4761]

Papa Ramen I know right, im gonna learn it for marching season

[@isaacpham499]

Papa Ramen paradiddle diddles with flam accents/flam taps. that's what it seems like to me

[@brendenbeaver5843]

paradiddle diddles followed by swiss army triplets followed by flam taps

[@louismead1928]

sounds like there's a swiss army triplet in there somewhere

[@BryanFive20]

Ha Scottie Johnson's! Haven't seen those in years. Didn't realize you had a marching background. Nice clean rudiments in the test.

[@Joe-fk1mk]

i loved the idea of using them to make practice sticks

[@Mustis91]

Damn your technique is sick! nice video! subbed!

[@loafe4302]

"I hate losing my drum key, so now I can stick it to my shelf!" He says as he sticks his key next to the shelf that has a metric ton of drum keys

[@kingtay1829]

Use it on cymbal sleeves as a perniment cymbal felt

[@drumsNstuff79]

The stick tips hack is right on dude! Totally worked!

[@eskews__me]

I felt a bass drum beater and/or stick grip coming on. I liked the practice tips.

[@chriscurro544]

Really like the drum key locator and hoop rash cure. Very creative. Have any hacks for soft drum cases?

[@DANIDANIXTREME]

loved the sugru practice sticks

[@amedeekingchef6552]

Gently rub Sugru with wet finger gives a Pro finish. Or use a piece of wet rough cloth or fine grill to structure the surface.

[@bikerfxds]

The only place I've ever kept my drum keys is on the tension screw of either the snare or floor tom. Never had 'em bounce off, ever. I have a small leather bag that I carry extra's in(foot pedal springs, white grease, multi tool, cymbal stand wing nut screws, drum keys, et al) that never leaves the trap case except when I set up for the job. Your vids seem a little over the top for me, but interesting concepts at least.

[@tobiastk5391]

I think my favorite was the bass drum hoop saver :P

[@alexanderdrumsandguitar3464]

love those diy practice sticks!

[@paulina6182]

My favorite hack was the last one👌Great job!!!!🙂

[@vintagetiger2059]

I love your videos , and your Humor , To hold my drum keys and sweat rags and other junk, I use a cheap tag sale fanny pack. I put it around the floor tom. Works pretty well for me . The only problem is when I go hiking,now I have to carry the drum with me !

[@TrioHugger]

Really dug the practice sticks. Beats the hell out of carrying a drum pad.

[@brokenscenesnz]

The practice tips were my favorite!!

[@joshcampbell7957]

I actually like the practice stick hack can really use it when I need to warm up fit shows

[@tylerjmorton5341]

You could wrap sugru around your cymbal arms where cymbal sleeves usually go!

[@Mkazigian]

@rdavidr is there a video on how to make those wooden drum key holders? They look very cool!

[@iQuincyboy]

Hey, these ones are just great. Could you make cymbal sleeves\felts out of Sugru? There is some product like this, that acts like a sleeve and a felt as one - you just put it through a mounting hole of a cymbal and put the thing on a bare stand with just a washer. Also - dampeners for drums/cowbell? Some kind of tune lock (if it's strong enough)? Tips for floor tom legs? Maybe, even crazy shaped wingnuts for cymbal stands? Also - grats on the new hats!

[@BranMuzsick]

+rdavidr I like the drum key applications. Also, the old scojos are called the MS6 Chop-Out. I love those for chop sessions. Well, I love Vic Firth, period xD

[@MrMirks-lq1ti]

The drum sticks are sick! I'm going to try it on my sticks

[@TylerCook]

Rad video! Please do a video on the hack options of taking a single rack tom off the kick drum and mounting else where.

[@lewishuysmans7921]

Hey David, loving the vids do you think you could show us how to make a stave snare?

[@sheltonwilson1754]

if you ever heard of drum rack or drum gum you could use it to control the overtone on tour Tom's and snare

[@cursedcliff7562]

The first lick with the practice sticks reminds me of One

[@jackster6675]

Im a drummer so I know exactly the struggle and I use those hacks all the time especially the key one so thanks

[@jenyyyyyyyy]

Hey dave, do you think it would be possible to create a home made practice pad, all out of wood and sugru?

[@pokemonyellow150]

could've made the drum key like the ones that come with gavin harrison's protean snare drum with the finger tight function thingy on top.

[@rdavidr]

+jordan poole thats a great idea!

[@rdavidr]

+jordan poole thats a great idea!

[@jaysiegel6779]

I wonder if you could use Sugru as a cymbal sleeve or as an alternative to the Vic Grip sticks

[@JohnTigueDotCom]

How about Sugru and neodymium magnets, one attached to the internal muffler and the other can be plopped atop the head embedded in various hardnesses?

[@joeo4117]

Do you think you could make a wooden practuse pad with sugru as the rubber stuff you hit ?

[@aidencunha735]

practice tips are great. overall good video, keep it up😀

[@---ey4um]

My favorite hack was the sticks and learned why the make different sounds and off sometimes.

[@SamBeanie]

Subaru? Yea I heard of Subaru 😂😂😂

[@Nisssse21]

When you test the sticks, can u have a lesson how you play. Hand setings?

[@MigzMigz35]

7:25 to 7:30 can u make a video of that??? It would help my drumline

[@mstrshkbrnnn1999]

“This video was quite long” oh how things have changed hahahahahaha. I remember I watched this 7 years ago in high school and I was amazed. It’s not uncommon for me to watch 40+ minute videos now lol

[@vincentbwang]

yoooooo the drum key hacks... mind blowing!

[@CeeJayondrums]

Zone

[@loganf8946]

Thanks for posting a vid on my B-day!

[@AndreJeanChretien]

I would maybe use it to hold my cymbals when I'm missing the plastic protector thing on the cymbal stand. Would it work to put around the threads to hold the cymbal on?

[@jenzenb143]

Nice video. Can you maybe make a video how YOU tune your drums because i like the sound of them ;)

[@krasiomilchev160]

I just came up with an idea. Put Sugru on the plastic side of your bass drum beater. I bet it will provide a nice attack and won't damage the head like plastic does.

[@tannerhall8410]

How about on the hole of every cymbal similar to a grommet to act as a pre-installed cymbal sleeve?

[@Jarhead1313]

Or you can do what I did, cut a strip of peg board and put a few hooks in it and hang it close to your kit, I have a full rack with left and right side extensions, so I took some fishing line and hung the peg board that I painted to match my kit at the end of my left side extension,so now I don't lose drum keys anymore.

[@SergeRom47]

Thoughts on using Sugru to make some snare stand rubber tips and hardware feet?

[@zombiedude6543]

Some ideas for you. Sugru drum mutes (like moon gel or a thin bfsd), bass drum beater, alternative to Vic grip or plasti dip

[@davidmartin4996]

Quick question on the magnetic drum key - I'm never sure what the rules are about magnets and electronics, would that magnet be strong enough to fuck up your cell phone if the two are floating around in your pocket together?

[@willcochran5555]

Maybe. But you have other pockets.

[@dansanders340]

You should make a video about your music career or whatever. Like when you started playing and if you marched, etc.

[@SkaterBoyBrandon987]

My drum key came with a rubber band in the whole so I just hang on on my drum

[@ddrum121]

i took chad smiths tip to put velcro around the key and then stick the other park to the bass drum, so youll never lose the key again, but the magnet idea might be better

[@vastvexproductions]

You could wrap it around a cymbal stand for a DIY cymbal sleeve perhaps?

[@boba.7307]

I just realised something. If you shaved your head you would legit be the binging with babish of drumming

[@lars3489]

I never saw that

[@harismarkauskas6623]

Yes!

[@dominickfulco]

Does anybody know the sticking for the practice tip test? Thank you! 🙂
