Homemade Ching Ring!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

I've said it once and I'll say it again. You a genius.

[@travisalan]

"you a genius"

[@dan_h2o_drums]

you should start a company making percussion and drum type things, would be pretty sweet

[@SlyHikari03]

I first this.

[@sirosvaziri]

Those turned out really great dude. I wish I had the skills and equipment to do this kind of stuff on my own. It's super inspiring to see you work!

[@DavidLopes4]

Ching rings usually go for $15, but saying I have one and you made your homemade sound amazing, you saved your self 15$, nice work Dave

[@kotatriplett]

Just found your channel about a month ago but I have been building almost every you have built. Thank you so much for the videos.

[@benslooking4coolstuff]

Awesome vid! I love the shop made, crafty, mechanical approach to the materials, drums, and the music as well.

[@XR650Max]

This was amazing. Great craftsmanship and phenomenal drumming David!

[@steamsteam6607]

Nice drumming at the end. Great DIY even if it isn't cost-efficient.

[@tdrum21]

Cool creative on the drum grooves there. Dig the sound. These sound good my man.

[@shalom5130]

It would be awesome if you made a sample pack. Just one shots with your favorite sounds and then maybe some of your favorite/interesting rhythms.

[@rdavidr]

yeah ive thought about that. one day when im really bored ill do it haha

[@gabrieleragonesi_gsp]

Wow! On the ride the ching ring is really sounding great. Nice effect

[@the6ig6adwolf]

That bit you tried to use on the sheet metal looks scary AF!

[@the6ig6adwolf]

+Zenyatta Mondatta thanks :-)

[@geddyknee1633]

...And the meek shall inherit the Earth...

[@Metal-Possum]

It's an old school way to cut holes in wood, usually they just had one cutting bit, were unbalanced, and were probably used on something like a post drill, which had a very slow speed.

[@hesafaust]

love the straight edge and compass Pentagon construction

[@camille7751]

Love the song !

[@lucaspinto1498]

This guy is a math god

[@mattylujan]

Great project and great track! I love my ching ring and will be ordering a couple more soon.

[@quicolic]

Awesome :D Your Channel is one of the best drum channels! Very useful videos!

[@DavidGomez-xm3uj]

I think it sounds awesome dude, and the jam at the end was great. Great job :)

[@FostersLab]

Me seeing the weird drilling thing: "That is so not gonna work" *it doesn't work* Me again: "Holy shit, I was right about something"

[@mikebarker9187]

Don't cut out the inner ring. Leave the cymbal bell and normal hole for the hi-hat rod. Mount the jingles with rivets. Mount the new tamb-cymbal upside down on the hi-hat OR place it on its own clutch. You (probably) want the jingles suspended in the air, not lying on the hat. Throw a rag on/off as needed per tune.

[@riversofeden7640]

Another option that I found easier was to use an auto exhaust trim ring which is a stainless steel ring that comes in various inside-outside diameters and is already fabricated with the holes. They usually come with the rivets too. Then, it was just a matter of putting the jingles on the ring.

[@aaronhi50]

"I'm gonna use this because I have it." Genius!

[@ochocabra4858]

the nails crack me up. actual nails. jesus christ. you're awesome, dude. i always dig your presentation and your delivery, plus you're pretty good at this stuff. i do this kind of thing at home, too, but you have way better tools than me (maybe i'll farm out some of my ideas to you). nice work, brother -and don't think i don't totally see your little home-made-gummy-bear-star-mute on the snare, either. cuz i totally do

[@grandolddrummer]

As a math teacher, I wholeheartedly approve of the pentagon construction. Woo! Math!!!

[@rdavidr]

yay math!

[@asldkfjdsla2938]

R "Daddy" Dave-id. Oh yeah, sick grooves!

[@kpoohs]

hey bro what do you think of making homemade zildjian l80 cymbals? like getting a drill and drilling mutliple holes (not as tiny of course) in an old cymbal. i want to try it but am not sure if itd be a waste of time or not..

[@samedits999]

You should ask that to Lance campeau! ;)

[@kpoohs]

+Sam Edits thanks man, gonna ask him as well. would still love davids input though!

[@melefono4273]

Perfect timing! i was just thinking of making one of those!

[@MrTrashie]

I used the cymbal (hoop crasher) that you did and made it back into a CYMBAL RING CALLED THE HALO, simply by off setting a drill hole and putting back on the cymbal stand and adjusting the angle and got like a Halo wobbling chime gong kind of sound, quite cool, i tryed a 14 zilidjan and a 16 sabian which gave it a different style sound so you could vary your sound by maybe changing the felts or rubber to muffle or just the right size hole to the cymbal stand i think seeing as you asked in this edit what to do with the offcut hoop i had already sat there and thought, thought of the HALO with some help to advance i think there is something in this idea so give it a try, your the man for this task as the HALO makes a oserlating chime and could be some thing to move things forward in the cymbal world of drumming ,respect from a fan.

[@noahhohmann5370]

Hey David, have you ever considered doing a build of a spiral cymbal? They make cool effect cymbals on most other cymbals. Almost like a sizzly sound.

[@georgeshirtcliffe604]

Woah that is some sweet technique on the ride

[@Caynug]

Absolute sick grooves m8

[@ago8871]

Could u make a video of all the equipment u use in your workshop would love to try some of these ideas myself

[@LanceCampeau]

That 10" splash is definitely a Sabian B8

[@neilrush]

I think it could be a sabian B8 Pro because is brighter finish.

[@rdavidr]

I actually was going to use the one you sent me, but I forgot I had it haha

[@LanceCampeau]

cristian soto yes, I agree

[@rileygifford7642]

+cristian soto don't argue with the cymbal man.

[@jacklewis8163]

+LanceCampeau Hi lanceypoo 😘

[@vorgotgainovel8997]

Nice track!

[@MegaKingMP]

Your videos are extremely good, have been watching since 800 subscribers! I think you should make one of those jingle rings with the outer ring of the cymbal. You might have made one already, I can't remember. Benny greb uses one; you can put one on a snare and the snare sound becomes more metallic and popping

[@uwepetersen]

Great Job, they sound awesome.

[@jarodestrada7972]

Have you ever thought about making a cajon drum? I think that would be pretty awesome!

[@captaindsnuts9451]

I really appreciate this content. Please keep making stuff!

[@guffer8252]

That track is godly

[@nameloss]

good stuff. great playing as always too

[@Maliross]

OMG IT SOUNDS AWESOME!!! :)!!! it sounds perfect for Nujabes type beats!!!

[@bradenjones5627]

Dave with all the cheap kits u have maybe u can put them together to make a giant kit like a 2 bass drum, 2 or 4 rack tom, 2 snare, and 2 floor tom kit with a ride a couple of crashes a China and maybe some splashes and stacks/ othe r percussion stuff. Just an idea to consider :)

[@janknjazovic]

cool! and that bass drum sound fantastic^^

[@rustongrosse5460]

@rdavidr I have one of these I from time to time put between two Meinl R&D prototype 10" & 12" chinas as a stack and it sounds ridiculous. I was thinking about ways to make these out of old cymbals but you beat me to it! Thanks!!!

[@reggaelifeforever]

Dude I love these videos! Have you ever done any home made drum cases or anything like that?

[@lucacimarusti]

Someone should edit together a supercut of David opening all of his videos with, "So..."

[@romanchaikovskyi2537]

the [playalong in the end sounds focken fabulous!

[@coheedandgeddy2900]

Awesome job. FYI you can buy tambourine jingles on eBay at like 100 jingles for around $10. So if you want to make a few of these that's probably the cheaper way to go

[@rdavidr]

yeah I saw those, I didnt buy them for some reason, I think the shipping was too much or something. They were also on amazon, but they were an "add on item" so I would have had to buy something else with it.

[@jamesallen7656]

+rdavidr you should make a hollow cymbal stack with the extra pieces

[@tylerblake3596]

very cool. you should show us how to make some Keplinger style stuff! Except like, way cheaper

[@sam19195]

57 on the hat sounded pretty decent to me, never tried that before. I've had the 7b on the hat before and that sounded pretty cool never thought of a 57 though, got a really cool dark sound

[@parkermurray7435]

this is sick man. try these with different stacks.

[@nikokarassik2936]

you should make the rest of the ten inch splash into a hoop crasher for a ten inch tom

[@mjuarez781]

they sound really cool

[@coltonhulett3671]

Take that scrap ring, drill two small holes in it, run some string through the holes and suspend it like a gong. I've always wondered what that would sound like, especially if it were a full cymbal with just the bell cleanly cut out.

[@борисиванов-ж7ж]

on the ride sounds very cool !!!

[@TomDowns15]

Hey David! Please try make a spiral stacker, thanks and keep the good work up!! :)

[@andrewmilbankdrums]

Really nice video man! I've been thinking about making my own for a while and now I know exactly how to do it! Really enjoyed that song and playing at the end too. By the way, you can buy large quantities of those jingles by themselves on Amazon for very cheap, would make this much more cost effective

[@The_asdfghjkl]

"Hammer Time" Yes.Just Yes.

[@terrillpercussion536]

Very cool. Yes, could buy one, but if you have all the junk lying around, why not use it up?

[@aeligzande]

Holy crap this is amazing!

[@ifreemantoo]

I loved it on the ride. It was otherwise too much for me on the hi-hat and snare. I would've loved to hear on each separately.

[@lmagine6494]

whats the track that you played over?

[@rickabick1982]

Hi David, you should make another one do it almost the same, except you should do more like a Zeppelin bonham thing with a holder or something to attach to you hi hat.

[@alanvelasquez837]

You make things look easy! You're genius. What song is on the demo?

[@drumtravelfun]

Dude...amazing job.

[@יוראירבאון]

hi david, i love your diy building videos! they are very inspiring. i was thinking of making a mini stack like you have in the video, with a sound similar to benny greb's mini stack, but i didn't have any ideas. it wood be awsome if you find a way to build something like that at home with some simple tools and share with us! i think you can accomplish this challenge. in hebrew we say "קטן עלייך"( katan alecha) , that mean it will be easy for you. keep those videos coming!!

[@dizzycalero9138]

excelente!!! Eres el maestro de verdad.

[@jfoz7602]

Sound sweeeeet on that ride 👌

[@nicholaswarren1403]

Yo you are my favorite you tuber you inspire me so much with your awesome editing

[@herrwunderwaffle]

Bought moon shaped tambourine, tied it to cymbal stand and it works almost the same.

[@DrumHeadV]

Countersink, baby, countersink! ;) Are you thinking of doing anything with the little 'left-over' bell?

[@castle2784]

Hi David, have you ever try to do a home-made Groove-Wedge, i would like to do one for me, but i don't have any idea how to bend wood LOL. Best regards form Mexico

[@rdavidr]

yeah i plan to make a video about that. I have 2 ideas on how to make them. One will be a cheap and easy way and the second will be a more proper way. its on the list though!

[@Steven-dm5dl]

Can you make a video on different ways to record your drum set using ONE cheap microphone? I see videos like this, but their mics are over my budget.

[@rileygifford7642]

You posted the teaser for this in Facebook do long ago, I honestly thought you did something along the way that ruined it

[@humdrumvideositalia165]

Man, have you got any suggestions on cutting cracked cymabls? thx

[@dillongoodfriend7248]

Wonder how the tambourine sounds on the snare and cymbals.

[@ja60123]

safety first, only use a fly cutter in a drillpress or mill. otherwise very cool project!

[@werehalohex]

use the Sabina ring as a frisbee! that's basically all its worth!

[@tjdphotography]

Sounds awesome!

[@craigstrickland1572]

Like you said, subtle. They seem very complimentary. But you didn't tell me you would have to do geometry to get the placement right. GRIPES.

[@matthewheard1814]

hey rdavidr you with that other piece you can make a hoop crasher or you can make a stack

[@MatthewParsonsDrumsAndAudio]

That came out epic!

[@Theredstar2478]

nice video man!! keep up the good work!

[@MrTrashie]

P.S maybe a near field mic in the middle of the HALO could create a nice sound maybe using a condenser mic so as not to create feedback.

[@4dereksouza]

Do you have video about the mini hats you use ?? Are those homemade ?

[@weareallbeingwatched4602]

What should you do with the extra piece? Loosely rivet it onto a bottom hi hat.

[@tiunnn]

i love your ride... may i ask for the name?

[@ConnorChaseOfficial]

The thing I like about the cymbal one is u can hit it and not have it fly all over the place because it's a cymbal

[@angiechan4804]

He starts playing with the track at 7:43 He also starts playing without the track at 9:51

[@mattg5419]

If that drill thing would've worked it would've been epic

[@niteshades_promise]

hmm my drummer cracked the bell on both my splashes. i like the sizzle ride sound🍻

[@geoffreyboener]

Any chance you could use a Philips head screwdriver to start the rivet flare?

[@UsIcMi]

You have nice drumless track.

[@hillboy1880]

I think there cool and they sound good.

[@ConnorChaseOfficial]

You should give away that little bell from the splash

[@blurrryyyycs]

How do you keep your Drumheads so clean? Everytime I get a new one, after a week its blackishhhh.

[@jordanyashi1416]

I want to hear the full version of him playing to the track.

[@rdavidr]

that is the full version

[@kajtje]

That bigger circle you didn't use... Just make a bigger ching ring, it would be perfect for big (ride) cymbals! so it would fit over the bell of the ride.

[@DominikSnobel]

what cymbal would you use if you could use only one

[@samuelrainey1256]

Do you or anyone here know where I can find 4-lug 6" tom hoops? Love your vids by the way man.
