Homemade Pancake/Gong Drum

I decided to turn the cut off of the pizza kick into a little pancake/gong drum and it turned out pretty good!

[@duffbeer9202]

you gotta put everything you've ever made into one kit dude

[@addigill6095]

Yeees

[@ronnie.c3222]

that's a lot of bass drum beaters..

[@carmenmendez8371]

DUFF Beer isn't

[@connorharrington767]

The only problem is that he reuses a lot of his materials

[@emmanuelsguidetominnesotav4396]

Yes

[@wilfig]

Sounds great! I wish more drummers would add such a drum to their kits. Plus, it's nice to hear a groove without hi hat or cymbals.

[@nathandrums0]

There is nothing this man cannot do

[@ralphklien9593]

RDR for prez

[@bielanski2493]

shave?

[@ralphklien9593]

MrWarMage lol

[@Ipadtutorials1012]

BREAKFAST KIT HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED!

[@rdavidr]

and in the same video it has ended

[@MyMfDominoes]

But... bacon kick drum...

[@Ipadtutorials1012]

rdavidr ah well. it was good while it lasted.

[@galph2]

+rdavidr but but, like syrup cymbals

[@gabecrouse8766]

Why do Lance and RdavidR hate the idea of the breakfast kit so much? They are probably just acting like they don't like the idea, but secretly they are creating one, that will be released outta nowhere.

[@rdavidr]

Also, I tried tuning it down super low, but it was too slappy, this is as low as I could get it while still producing a tone. I probably need to get a new head though since this is the one that has been on that kick for at least 10 years... lol

[@PearlGroove]

I would be interested to hear it with a single ply EMAD on it. You would definitely get some sub frequencies then.

[@Zantrop64]

yeah put a new head, and please let us hear the 16" snare without muting it

[@crimsun7186]

Use just a plain head instead. Gong drums should resonate the same way symphonc bass drums do.

[@Isaac.Garcia666]

rdavidr make a timpani next

[@celeniagable]

rdavidr nvm now

[@ethan043]

Watching you poke those holes in the wrap for the lugs was oddly satisfying.

[@footnotedrummer]

Wow! Very cool build! I'm shocked that the tom isolator held so well. I woulda thought that there was too much cantilevered mass. I wonder how long before either the shell breaks at this connection, or the isolator metal fatigues?

[@Drumspiracy]

I was surprised at how good that drum sounded. I am looking make one myself but having a heck of a time finding a cheap (very cheap) 20" bass drum to chop up. Nice work.

[@Chris-of4mm]

Do a DIY project called the wal-mart or target drum where you make the wrap out of possibly wallpaper and also decorate a the head (bass drum) and what else you can think of

[@chrismorgan7573]

That would be sick!! I hope he sees this !!!

[@Chris-of4mm]

+Chris Morgan yeah it would be sick

[@bassin615]

I like dis idea

[@maluorno]

hello fabric store?

[@sparrovski]

You make it look so easy. Having the right gear to do the job helps. wish I had filmed the projects I have done in the past. I cut down an old pearl kit into shallow tom hyperdrive type kit. Stained and painted it like one of the tama finishes. It worked so well. I have a double bass drum kit with a mounted bass drum too just for fun and a stand up kit using a floor tom as bass drum bottom and cut down floor tom on top with a gap in between that works well too. And all techniques were from you tube. Thank you anyone that uploaded.

[@apedestrian3899]

That pancake sounds BAD ASS in fills when complemented with the bass.

[@apedestrian3899]

I mean it's essentially a stick played kick drum, but I love it!

[@crimsun7186]

Gong bass drums have more in common with symphonic bass drums played with mallets than with drumset bass drums.

[@geddyknee1633]

Pancake drum, pizza kick. What's next on the drum menu?

[@kitkatkid1976]

norush jello cymbal

[@Novaking1975]

Holy drum (A donut)

[@jacobh9344]

Parmigiana Stack.

[@creativesoundlab]

That thing sounds sweet!

[@deadforever8810]

I watched this like 12 times only to listen the music.....it's so good...

[@ohseespolice7419]

soundcloud.com/silentdave91 silentdave.bandcamp.com

[@BadDrummerCarl]

I was thinking why not use an extra floor tom instead, but I guess this as 2 bonuses over an extra floor Tom, it's portable and you can put it mounted on a stand anywhere around your kit. Great job David

[@TonyVazquez8265]

This brotha rdavidr is Godhead, designing his own drums and hardware mods, you name it whatever he makes and modifies absolutely NEVER disappoints! Always learning new stuff from him!

[@stressfacture]

Best part of the video is your dead eyes when you play drums

[@iamaioshi]

That loon sound killed me 😂

[@jacobh9344]

Sean Hogan o my gahd you’re that guy with making this out of that videos!

[@TheChEiNt]

Your demonstration grooves are always so creative, could you suggest me any exercises or books you studied that might have helped you on that?? Thanks dude

[@azivure]

I would like to know as well.

[@kiliroy]

Yeah I would also be interested.

[@calebalexander5765]

And I as well

[@austinburgess9787]

same

[@jeremiahfernandez9161]

yep. same

[@Circadianarrhythmia]

I’ve always preferred the old tama styling of gong drums tuned up but this is sick regardless! I love silly lil extras

[@galph2]

i love how you just do what you want its the best, not following any trends or anything its great

[@ewilliaman11]

that white lithium grease is a lifesaver

[@EricChesek]

That groove is solid. So is the drum.

[@joharvy6823]

Still one of my most favorite rdavidr's videos! Just love it over & over :)

[@juanpalos6836]

This is the first thing I thought of when I first saw one of these, it's a kickdrum cut at the edge...cool diy.

[@iQuincyboy]

Dang nice! You can also try using either that or the Pizza kick as an additional resonator to put in front of the bass drum. Always love your videos! Cheers!

[@fromthistexasbreath]

Damn. Sounds great! That groove was a killer way to demonstrate it too!

[@XR650Max]

Wow, that drumming was absolutely fantastic!! Wrapping a drum seems to be a tedious process

[@EthanFiske]

Great video man! Another cool DIY project. I like it when you wrap the drums because I'm gonna have to with this new kit I bought

[@andrewjeffries8721]

I love the part beginning at 4 mins.!!! Very cool. Thank you, rdavidr!!

[@Mattieskips]

by far my favorite drum he's made

[@MakeSomething]

Nice! In any of your videos have you talked about what would be your desert island kit?

[@rdavidr]

Oh man thats a tough question... It would either be my Tama or the blue kit (I think its an Appollo) Im using in this video. I might just be saying that though since this was the first time I actually played that kit haha

[@drumsNstuff79]

Anyone can buy a Tama.. the Apollo is cool and unique! I playa a Tama kit. It's nice but nothing special. The blue kit have that cool vintage vibe.

[@the_nondrive_side]

Driftwood kit

[@austinw2092]

This loop is awesome! It fit super well with the video

[@AndrewEwing1995]

oddly enough, i found out about your channel just by typing in the youtube page drum hacks and what not and there behold, your channel popped up and started watching your videos and thought your channel is amazing. Keep up dave you rock

[@historicnine3356]

That backtrack is awesome.

[@mihumus]

Great work Dave, now looks much better.

[@willdrumboy]

You make the most awesome stuff man! You make me want to hack up some of my old drums and make cool new stuff. Please keep up the videos.

[@jarrodmartin8772]

I love how you went with the YESS mount on this

[@fermiLiquidDrinker]

The drum actually sounds really good.

[@theunbanned4553]

Woah! What? He make a Pancake from a Pizza! Amazing!

[@JasonHannah]

I have no intention of ever building drums... and really, I'm a guitar player who can kinda-sorta hold my own on drums. I'm not even a drummer. I have no idea why I watch your videos.... BUT I LOVE THEM

[@vuntan]

Wow!! Didn't think I would like this but it's freaking cool man and it sounds awesome!

[@joeldelavega768]

Sounds amazing! Great build!

[@Mynameisnumber5]

The beginning! The computer part was so funny!

[@1toonhead]

What a good idea. To finish it of you should build a cocktale drum set. Just for fun.

[@superb8554]

I like that there are "how to make pancakes" videos in the suggestions, lol. Great build by the way, always quality content coming from this channel.

[@RichardBonaduce]

I friggin' love this guy.

[@thecoolestdad]

Dude, I used that very same contact paper on an old set of drums that I had way back in the 80's. I put two sets together and recovered them with that same simulated wood look as you used. Cool huh!

[@hildebrandspencer]

Loved the intro! The drum was thick and fluffy to!

[@SunnyAnthem]

Wow, that sounds amazing actually

[@Kvic2112]

Awesome! I did something similar last year to match my ddrum Hybrid 6, but I mounted it like a literal gong, and mounted a trigger in it, to actually trigger a gong sound from a Roland TM-2 module🤟 EDIT: NO idea why it took 6 years for me to see this video.

[@ZackZweifel]

I love this. What depth did you make this? I found a matching bass drum shell online for my kit I could use for this. Nice work!

[@RomeroELBurro]

3:50. that sounds really good

[@jesusdrumz]

very deep vintage sounding. love it

[@pauljohnson3317]

Drum sounds sick!

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

I wish I had a table saw. I have an old bass I've never used that would be perfect for this sort of application. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@FrezrBlanket]

Love all these projects

[@ineedabetterspeedrunningna2301]

Great job, always been drawn to gong drums for some reason.

[@Lukerwdrums]

that sounds/looks frickin awesome dude, great work

[@stubowl1]

great ideas and a great drummer.

[@richardagnew4959]

pancake drum, pizza kick. I think the food kit is slowly coming to life :D

[@lamusico7746]

i could hear the song tell me baby by RHCP while you were testing the new pancake drum

[@carlosbejaranojr.2935]

nice! its like the gong drum that Thomas lang has on a kit set up. keep up the great work!😀

[@jesusdrumz]

speaking of deep vintage. you should totally put a Aquarian deep vintage drumhead on that thing lol would sound so dope :)

[@TechGorilla1987]

I funking love that groove you played at the end. ice video, man.

[@Ribsletics]

Man that thing sounds dope!

[@davidmcaninch4714]

You are one of the awesomest KZbinrs ever!!!!

[@Thompsongs]

I love the concept. I'd just like to hear this pancake with a more lively head.

[@drumtravelfun]

Would be cool to hear it close mic'd with a Beta 52, or a D112, etc.

[@ILikeWafflz]

4:13 KNOW THAT FEEL. I've been trying to practice to a metronome every now and then.

[@jaxchancellor4907]

holy shit the background music is so relaxing just had to take a nap after hearing it

[@metalpaw1720]

I like it A LOT for some reason

[@CombsTowerProductions]

I love drums and Pancakes. Nice beat at 3:57

[@middyband]

Nice! Since you're always cutting down drums, I was wondering if you ever made a traveler kit like the one Pearl offers.

[@carrie7225]

damn i just realised this was uploaded on my birthday last year

[@ethan043]

The 5:00 AM bit killed me.

You should try one day to build a real gong drum, the ones with a 22" rim on 20" drum :D

[@13thfbass]

I'd love a tutorial of that funky beat at the end!

[@chuckmerfouth2688]

awesome! ill buy it. 0:24 brainstorming at the office...haha

[@HudsonToRRes]

NOOOOOSSA! Ficou muito bacana! Deu vontade de fazer um pra mim.

[@vanespenstudio3297]

One of your best stuff for me !!

[@NATAGUILARMUSIC]

I wonder how it would sound with a single ply with no muffling. I would love to hear it again, now that your current setup has upgraded mics.

[@davecavehotrains876]

gotta love that contact paper lol

[@vesselsfirst8200]

Now we need a pancake/gong snare

[@theonecalledvino8165]

Sweet! I love stuff like that.

[@Spudcore]

Really nice groove!

[@blastoisetamer1826]

I was searching for video teaching me how to make homade pancakes. I was not dissapointed

[@perpetualgrimace]

Sounds awesome!

[@BurnTheNuance]

Sweet vid dude! Sounds pretty damn good.

[@tdrum21]

Love that beat up top. Reminds me of some MF Doom

[@Retrac1406]

Great work sounds great!

[@herbburnley506]

actually sounds really good. or maybe it was the groove.

[@mike.correa]

Too cool! Now i want some

[@dougforbes5840]

You should totally make some octoban/rocket tom type things

[@cantstopmike311]

I've always had a concept of how important your hardware is in the set. Could you possibly try getting a very inexpensive set, but upgrade all the hardware on the drums. Thanks

[@greedytastesgood979]

Rad drum dude. The only thing I would say would be that instead of wrapping it in fake wood, a quick hit of 60 grit and then 120 grit sandpaper and rub it down with some tongue oil since it's already made out of wood , would be a good idea. Anything you add to the outer shell will affect the resonance of the wood. And there's not much better than the look and feel of natural wood. But besides that hella rad drum dude

[@_Deergod]

Getting a bit Tony Royster Jr there :P Great video!

[@Hawiianlion67]

I wanna see you combine everything you have to make a super big kit

[@drummerr95]

This sounds very nice actualy!

[@littlemr.5503]

Sounds great
