Household Junk Drum Kit Challenge

We scavenged Jared's house to make the ultimate drumset... out of household items! And we're going to use it to record a real song. So let's find out if building a drum set from household junk can compete with real drums. Let's have some fun!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this video, we sit down with Jared (our professional in-house drummer) and Victor Guidera (the Drumeo audio engineer) as we attempt to turn household items into a record-worthy professional kit. In the end, will the average listener be able to tell the difference? That's what we're here to find out.
So let's watch Jared and Victor do their thing and attempt the impossible! We'll also get to see how our favorite drum teacher reacts to this kit's transformation. Let's have fun with drums.

What other things should we use to build a drum-set?

[@luketranmer7998]

Go to a scrapyard (junkyard) I'm sure you can find some interesting pieces there.

[@docdunlop42]

The boiled bones of vanquished Bass players who think they are "real" timekeepers

[@superblondeDotOrg]

I just finished a short percussion concert composition score called "All Fingers In, Percussion for Circular Saw and Construction Tools" which used: Circular saw with hits on the body and the blade, Electric drill for whirring noise, Tape Measure, Vice Grips to hit the spring-loaded handle, plastic peanut butter jar filled with misc hardware as shaker, and bamboo chopsticks as drum sticks. My percussion motif developed from basic Chacarera rhythm patterns. So this video was very timely and entertaining, good job. I think you should try playing a junkyard automobile, maybe use Arejay Hale's "big sticks".

Make a drumkit out of non-percussive instruments.

When you're a drummer - the world is your oyster.... _Makes a drumkit out of Oysters_ . . .

[@MongerOfStrings8222]

The police proved that with their music videos back in the day

[@DavidOakesMusic]

I actually built my first kit out of pots and pans and a tupperware box filled with gravel for the snare. My parents heard me on it in the shed and decided to get me my first kit. 300 years later and I still cant play.

[@jackievanhelen]

rock on brother! in this world there's three types of drummers: the ones who can play drums really well, the ones that aren't developmentally challenged dumb as brick lobotomites whose bloodlines are guaranteed to end with them, and ringo starr

[@philen]

When on tour thousands of years ago, we were in Bulgaria where we got invited to some guys family in a very poor village. He had built a drum kit out of old barrels and some cut up bicycle. We actually ended up playing on that kit for one of the shows because our drummer liked it so much (i am not a drummer).

[@CameronFleury]

Kid: Mom can I have a drum set? Mom: We already have drums at home. *Drums At Home*

[@selajackman1302]

That’s hilarious

[@pg3536]

Absolutely brilliant! Thanks Jared & DRUMEO.

[@WeaselsInSpace]

Since the very beginning, I have always had a saw blade on my kit. Also, I use chains and necklaces on the cymbals. My favorite is the top shelf of a metal cart I use as a gong. I hold it with my hand and hit it with my knee. Sounds awesome! Good times, guys!! Thanks.

[@tundradude4894]

Yo if it works,I mean lol

[@Neander104]

Need a "In the air tonight" fill with that, please!

[@henz8303]

Meanwhile i could make a 1000$ drumkit sound like a microwave.. 😂

[@KK-ld2co]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kishorerajendran3792]

Shows how important production is! And the drumming is just sooo great! 🤩♥️ Love y'all Drumeo!

[@fabfishing7422]

Ok DRUMEO, My wife may kill me but I'm going for the Fridge, Dishwasher, Stove, Washer and Dryer for a stellar 5 piece 😂

[@KK-ld2co]

Yes ..... Yes she will 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@NickScherden]

Gene Hoglan actually used boat propellers as FX cymbals on some recordings

[@sujayanarula3913]

I did create a drumming session for kids when they were young😄it was old paint buckets, bins, pots and pans, steel plates, and chopsticks. I had no clue back then what it was all called, so i just tried to match by the sound of it!

[@WeThePeople.]

LMAO! My favorite Drumeo video yet! The dents in the microwave had me dying laughing 🤣🤣! It all makes sense now. I finally know what happened to my toaster when we let people stay at our house when we were out of town.

[@LincolnGTX]

I used something like this back in the 1986., first recordings in the garage... Empty paint bucket with nails inside for the snare, big saw blade for the ride, big empty cabbage barrel for the kick, a few buckets for toms and an, actual cowbell worn by cows for, well, bell. It Was awesome cassette recording with homemade guitar and bass FBT amp

[@christianhetzel7956]

I might actually buy a garbage can now and add it to my kit 🤣🤣 sounded gnarly

[@matt_pick]

I've done this before, just for a laugh when a proper drumkit wasn't available. Great fun.

[@reezlaw]

Ok, fine, subscribed. Yes, it wasn't the numerous lessons and all the stuff I had already watched, THIS ONE did it for me. Lmao

[@DrumeoOfficial]

Thank you for subbing!

[@karpatan]

That was so funny and crazy. I just love you made it to the studio. Top

[@silvergrizzly316]

Brother, that was some amazing creativity!!! 👏 👍👍LOVED IT!

[@connortillemans5964]

You have to let Michael Schack play on that thing😂🤪 @Drumeo

[@joe_tipakuah4880]

Jared looks handsome on the DIY kit.. Oohh hey drumeo..you should look for Mr Deden Noy from Indonesia,who is drumming on a DIY made kit out of recycled items..although he had been gifted a real drumset from Mike Portnoy and Bavo Drums Indonesia last time,but you can take some ideas from his creative stuff.Greetings from Malaysia.

[@MatrockRecords]

Best junk snare I've ever heard is a bucket turned upside down with a sandwich made of paper plates on top. inside of the paper plates was another sandwich made of tin foil that was filled with popcorn. Had a great amount of snap and pop to it.

[@alexinthemix00]

Amazing! I love the idea and how it sounds!

[@willmurray222]

My first kit . A suitcase with the botton of a birdcage and two pots all mounted on a sawhorse.

[@SyntheticFuture]

Surprised by the hi-hat. That's surprisingly cool 😂

[@DavidOakesMusic]

YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME... I'm off to make a tumble dryer out of my bass drum.

[@tundradude4894]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@geralddrums]

Very very funny. Great video 🤣🤣👍👍👍

[@neurocosm]

That hi-hat is the real deal :D

[@Cata2690]

I’m reconsidering my music interest. That kit still sounds better then me… lol

Hi drumeo love your videos ❤😎 Cant get enough 😀 God bless 🙏😘

Btw congrats on 2 million

"This is by far the most deadly drumset, " rip choking the saw blades...

[@nickey7473]

I started on buckets and pillows. To this day it's my favorite kit I ever had

[@alexhill_79]

G'day, love what you guys do, thanks from Australia!

[@marckt3506]

Sounds great, i love it!!

[@wreichard]

Awesome! Reminds me of how I started out when I was 11. I had a Mr. Coffee box for a bass drum, A Phillie's batting helmet for a snare and 4 other boxes for tom toms and two lamp shades for cymbals. Two pencils for sticks. LOl

[@AdemVessell]

That was extremely fun to watch!

[@aronlorand3272]

I would have listened to both the original, raw sounding and the effected one more. Sounds amazing! 😍😄

[@jahsepe]

That hi hat was on point!

Fan covers for cymbals! Aahh the nostalgia! Let's goo!!

[@RikardPeterson]

I have bought a break drum in a scrapyard (for use in orchestra), which was fun. "I need a break drum." "Ok, for what car?" "I don't know - can I hit them with this hammer and listen to how they sound?" They probably talked about the weird musician later on their lunch break.

[@jayklesdrumchannel-drumsan9782]

Great I love it !

Thats where my Drumming started..lIterally, Pots and Pans😊🥁❤

Hi Jared and Dave! Greetings from Singapore :))

That's a real kit for Industrial music right there.

[@flamencolo]

Awesome!

[@sldrummer4469]

Wow awesome

[@iamferdi0620]

You sure you wanna call it Bucket-kit or you can call it "Buckit"😂

[@larrycooper7261]

I started hitting my Mom's pots and pans with a wooden spoon when I was about 3, but it was another 15 years before I got my first "real" kit. To this day I'm still not sure which drove them crazier.

[@ikelachica5281]

Sounds may not be different, but the initiative make the difference. Salute

[@octaviovirginio72]

Hello! I'm from Brazil and I started doing that . Good job guys , really cool.

[@willileo2373]

Incredible

[@jerrylehti7230]

every drummer that does your show , should do a 5 minute solo on that kit !! Rock On DRUMEO !!

Next week Jared makes a huge batch of chili in a timpani.

[@markielinhart]

Hilarious! Thanks so much 👏🇦🇺✌️

[@mkostya]

Amazing

[@josephcinquemanirealtor2458]

I had seen one drummer added a boat propellar to his kit. It had a nice ping sound to it.

[@kylesanders208]

I was looking for a small ride cymbal alternative for my suitcase-drumset, and I ended up putting to different saw blades on because they sounded so professional!

[@moritzmark3418]

I think the snare, hihat, bass drum and the clap stack are really sounds you can work with! I really miss a more realistic ride sound...maybe the top of a wide cooking pan!

[@drmichaelmorbiusofficial5765]

When someone plays better than you using buckets:

[@HenryChauhanDrums1]

I think we pretty much all started out by finding random household stuff right?

[@Gourgandise]

I know it's mixed and all but man it sounds amazing!!

[@magmorix3883]

If you don’t have a bell, I think a saw blade is seriously a fun addition to the kit, so long as you mount it in a way that it won’t damage anything

[@waguin7042]

The saw-hat is pretty cool. I love It.

[@astridkjellberg]

i should try this because i can't afford a drum set and in my country having a hobby is an upper class thing appearently

[@famitory]

found an old asparagus pot that happened to be just the right size to fit a 6" head and screwed drum hardware to it. you'd be hard pressed to tell it apart from a store-bought high octabon from sound alone, and the stainless steel looks pretty professional.

[@beau5296]

A producer can make anything sound good.

[@grapefruitsimmons]

Did yall get this idea from Cameron Fleury?

[@Jordan-zt6jq]

I’ve used a music stand as a cymbal stand, I put plastic bags of bolts in the Tom’s every once in a while for a cool clank sound

[@insertmetalusernamehere]

Nice! I'm not waiting on Pearl to make a delivery to Sweetwater anymore. I'm building a bucket kit today. Sorry guys, you missed out. Now I need that 30 day drumeo membership.

[@dl5641]

Man, would love to see more unique drum sets built like this to give EDM an interesting live performance sound. I imagine that would be a project for a drummer gone producer though lol

[@tea2920]

with just the second snare, the kick drum and that saw stack you could make a good sounding metal kit

[@gerardleveque3568]

Nice house!

WOW A REAL DRUMMER CAN MAKE THINGS SOUND NICE FROM ANYTHING :)

Not sure if there's a band called "Garbage" or "Junk" but I feel like it would be an appropriate name.

[@cycologist71]

Rob Scallon already did it.

[@vonirkinshtine]

Well since you quoted me at 5:42 I guess I should say that I came back. Totally worth it. NOW, do the opposite: record a $10k drum set with a smartphone and nothing else and get the best sound out of THAT.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

I heard of a drummer using all iPhones instead of microphones. Still mounted in the same places but only iPhones.
