[@Branhawk]

So you are a fabrication drummer?

[@STSGuitar16]

Love the timed musical sprays at 1:10. Your editing doesn't go unnoticed, my friend.

[@flippflores1990]

“Which I’m super happy about” *continues to talk in his neutral tone*

[@IndieTimberStudio]

Can you make octobans?

[@JeremiahFernandez]

IndieTimber Studio yes we need this

[@userplayeraccount]

IndieTimber Studio yes!

[@chili9863]

Yeah

[@ChapuleTaylor]

can you make autobahns?

[@gabesmusicshow4215]

bro your name. wtf

[@Secure81]

The playing example you did at the end, might be may favorite groove you've ever done. And that's saying something.

[@jomarthegreat1]

that drum groove is so in the pocket that i forgot it in my jeans and it took a trip around the washing machine and dryer... but it still came out intact. great video!

[@ModernBuilds]

Sounds dope!!

[@rdavidr]

thanks dude

[@yerrt3]

Wœ

[@danablett]

we need DIY MASSIVE COWBELL like 18" long

[@Fresh_I.S.C.]

just waiting for the day david buys a forge and starts smithing..

[@nocomment2297]

Plz, that would be sooooo cool

[@redjstudios7036]

*needs more cowbell*

[@michaelsheedy7019]

Can you see how big of a kit you can make with all yojr drums, cymbals and parts n things it would just be fun vid to watch

[@samevans8922]

Leachimy Good idea

[@SpanasyukO]

i remember doing this back in middle school with all the bands equipment, trying to be all terry bozzio.

[@rdavidr]

the only problem is I only have like 4 cymbals stands haha

[@userplayeraccount]

rdavidr buy some more!!

[@ryanroentz7005]

rdavidr build some out of scrap wood. Actually I dare you to try to make a road worthy field frame for a keyboard instrument.

[@laurivlehto96]

Amazing how the interval between the two is so perfectly musical!

[@marleesuarez7162]

Title: DIY Mini Cowbells! Me, after watching the video: All I have is a paper and pen

[@nenume00]

lmao even the making of the cowbell was musically fitted into the video. bravo

[@AndrewEwing1995]

You should have your own drum company in would see people buying your product

[@GAMER-rw8jo]

your musical editing makes my ears splurge

[@DrummerScandinavia]

They sound really cool, ago-go ish, but more unique and controlled sound. Good job!

[@ryangilby]

High speed footage of hammering metal is satisfying.

[@tdrum21]

Love the blue tone. Great snare sound too

[@jabronasaurus]

They both sound great. BUT THE BLUE ONE THO......Sounds SO SO GOOD.

[@TjBruce817]

Awesome sound!! the tuning they have are a perfect range between each other, very ear friendly. Good job.

[@Abby-wj5je]

Anyone with an actual LP jam bell, how does the sound of his compare? just curious

[@rdavidr]

i am curious as well!

[@iMadrid11]

rdavidr Don’t you have a friendly music store nearby where you can test to compare?

[@Chikenfriedfury]

Cowbells look great! I think that would look good with your channels logo stenciled in white! I’d like to see a vid where you create brush sticks out of different materials!!

[@kevinkenney2005]

You make the sickest and most addicting backround music. Thanks for the great videos man!

[@wreams2964]

6:15 a welding clamp. Hm. Never seen that before

[@xyanide1986]

That sounds better than I expected, great stuff.

[@landon3162]

Mannn, your videos are super awesome. Everytime I see a new one from you I always get excited. As a drummer myself, Its really cool to see how creative and innovative you get with your videos. Really inspiring to me as well. Keep it up!! PS;love the music as well. :)

[@extralifedisco]

Those sound great! Reminds me a bit of the drums from "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough", which I think I read somewhere was actually Sheila E hitting some glass bottles. Would love to hear you try that rhythm out!

[@crashzero6517]

you should make one more if you find the time a longer larger one, not too huge but yeah see if you can get a real low "cloouk" like hollow sound to go with your click and clack ones ;)

[@crashzero6517]

loved the video and will be trying to make some my self great video as always

[@annalisameyer9260]

The rust on the steel looks like a map

[@delzmusique7934]

love the new snare sounds better than all your others by far

[@wojciechwolinski4793]

I really like to watch your videos, it can be not only educatnig about drumming but also crafting. Really enjoyable

[@ben.helmuth]

Thank you for making all the clips in time of the song 🎵 seriously

[@kelzakdub]

The small touches on the editing are really something else

[@salmonella4u]

The red bell is spot on with the genuine LP version I have with me right now. As you were playing yours, I was tapping on mine just to see. Your blue one is higher pitch, but if it was open just a hair more, it might have been spot on too.

[@jackdrums1714]

Is it just me or does time lapsed hammering really satisfying

[@frankrolandjr.1060]

They sound better then the LPs because they have a natural choke on them so no overtones. Bravo Man

[@averyhendrickson4180]

This video and your whole channel is awesome!!! Can't wait to do some of your DIY's myself!

[@LanceCampeau]

Love it... the video that brought you to my attention was that large cowbell you did a few years ago... I like the blue one... kinda sounds like a cash register bell. Looking ahead, I'd explore DIY powder coating instead of spray paint next time (I don't have the space for that kind of work but you do).

[@jockmckenzie8603]

Yay! Back to the type of content that set your channel apart from the others. Keep it coming!

[@godzillazf18]

I love your craftsmanship

[@kathyraouf6957]

The cowbells as well as Skillshare sounds great

[@Bluem00n7]

awesome video dude. That snare is the best iv heard and iv heard a few in my lifetime

[@yolanc3876]

yeah it is soooo nice

[@guilhermealbertin364]

Tom Bycroft true

[@cCROMm]

Haha was just gonna write the same comment, seem like i didnt need to

[@rdavidr]

The HHG is a beast!

[@ghustavoh]

Very good! It sounded like agogô. Perfect for playing a maracatu.

[@davidsuprenant893]

Nice job David,they sound great.

[@brettboden3571]

Dude please just make a video of the beginning of "killing in the name of" with your bells haha

[@wesnile8972]

nice they sound good.. reminds me of something Steel Pulse would use.. your snare is on point. really digging the sound of that snare

[@fulci6734]

magnificent work rdavidr

[@wallyordona159]

Sounds really good. Nice job dude!

[@joannalindblad142]

Man, these RULE. They sound more articulate and less sharp than the lp ones. Super pleasant and melodic. Nicely done! Let me know if you ever do a small run of these!

[@tharrock337]

Thanks youtube for not having this video show up on my page, so I can only watch it half a month later. Nice.

[@benbosler6516]

You should put some rivets in a cowbell

[@andyman2462]

Dude your a genius! They sound great I love watching all the stuff you make.

[@robinhoodwasasocialist.1401]

Those came out very nice. I would say these are more agogo than cowbell

[@bluesgut]

Awesome. Your channel is great, man. Mind if I suggest a primer on cutting bearing edges for your restoration Playlist?

[@swatiacharya_]

At 3:00 that hammer so !! fast😜 ⏩ 🔨 I also want one

[@miguelserpa8649]

That snare is sounding legit

[@devinbuchhorn]

so many tools! Truly a renaissance man.

[@Cancun771]

5:04 Lets ther C-clamp watch from the bench while angle-grindering the workpiece that slides merrily across the workbench. Classic! (Don't get me wrong, I love your videos, man, and I'm not even a drummer.)

[@ARDrummer]

Very cool groove! Turned out sounding nice!

[@macbury18]

Solid use of skillshare dude, quintuplets are rad.

[@shigeon2668]

These sound incredibly good. PLEASE make them part of your main setup

[@1979GenXdude]

Man, it’s great to see how you progress in terms of diy skills. You make it seem so easy. Great vid, bro! :)

[@65Drums]

Really cool :)

[@probabvieh]

65 Drums well h I there Justin.

[@deliranteoficial7930]

What paint did you used?

[@EarthToTheOtherSide]

Wow, they look and sound amazing! I wish I could be half as 'handy' as you. Great vid, thanks!

[@jacobwalker7507]

Man I'm really into these vids because I was doing similar and ran across these and it helped me with that much more ideas. But I keep searching for the video where u do something with an old Pearl bass drum and you note how messed up the lugs had been drilled. Dude I redrilled 10 lugs onto a 1982 Pearl Export shell and man the lugs on that drum were drilled do jacked up straight from the factory that ...honestly I couldn't believe it. I mean Pearl was my drum of choice and just, from such a reputable company and unless you're doing this kind of work you'll never know. Now this was a 1982 Pearl bass drum. Things might be better today but it's clear to me that this wasn't an isolated incident. And keep coming up with ideas man . I love it dude.

[@lgnd6188]

Love them, great job. If you happen to make some 'octobans' that'd be awesome I'm going to attempt that myself(someday), l already have acrylic shells 6"o/d, but a 6" head is a bit tight. Thanks for sharing. Nice playing, btw.

[@martinofumagall]

Don't ever make me wait this long for a DIY again

[@mattm4156]

Make some agogo bells

[@zacharywilliams2]

MattMonago that would be cool. David, see this please!

[@richeichelberg2179]

Nice fabricating! They sounded sweet!

[@snebl9849]

You could try to hammer a cowbell and see how that would sound

[@drummersdragons5287]

Thanks rdavidr! I can't help but wonder if the point at the top of the striking surface made for different tones while playing the instrument. Regardless of that, it's obviously a fine instrument. Great job.

[@albertomarchesini5589]

Did anyone noticed how cool it sounds when he put the spray glue on the paper? It matches perfectly the music in the background. (1:09)

[@stick-itproductions.3307]

Christopher Walken's fever has finally been cured.

[@alessandrogambino420]

By the middle you finally understood that recently cut metal is hot and that pliers are the best option huh? I like to see you work though...it's relaxing.

[@kylehazel5944]

Those sound awesome David!!!

[@rdavidr]

thanks!

[@Gonzaalvz87]

I really know that the best way to make the cowbell's mount is with a square tube. You drill the necessary holes and then cut the face you don't need. And all you have to do is to weld the mount to the cowbell. Instead of making a mount out of a piece of metal. But it's just my opinion lol

[@ckextreme]

At 2:18 rdavidr teases his upcoming inception themed build with a clamp inside a clamp.

[@tombevan937]

What happens if you drill a bunch of tiny holes in a big cowbell? Does it just get quieter like the practice cymbals?

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

thought the name of this video was "more cowbell."

[@moderatepain2003]

kodiak wild: I got a fever

[@ja60123]

The only prescription...

[@watahyahknow]

wonder if it helps to heat the open end of bigger one up to cherry red then dunk it in motoroil or water , think the uneven tensions in the metal is wat gives a cowbel its ring when you look at an unpainted cowbell you see that the open end is bleu from being heated up

[@Sonicscrapyard2024]

Really useful video, thanks very much!! Have you ever made a mambo cowbell before?

[@guilhermealbertin364]

It's Very cool! Good job! Thanks for all!

[@whamajamma75]

Sound and look really good

[@jna3341]

Fridays are the best because thats when you upload!

[@iMadrid11]

I’ve got a fever and I need more cowbell!

[@Kickflip2Willy]

Hey david i love watching your videos alot of great tips and inspiration to make my own gear. I have an odd request. I cant find a video on either upgrading or replace pedal springs. Im not sure if there is a proper way or just bend em with pliers. Would like to maybe see a video on that!

[@lowelleumlas8506]

You deserve 1m subs mate!!

[@walterwhite7325]

You got two cowbells? Now you can finally play "Killing in the name of" :D

[@fanofhands]

That new shop looks eerily similar to the old one

[@AndyGuyCantYouLiftForLife]

Can you make a kit with all the Latin and unconvential pieces you have?

[@davidmcaninch4714]

RDAVIDR, GUESS WHAT??!!??? I GOT A FEVER AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS MORE COWBELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brandonpryormusic]

So you have to be some sort of fabricator or engineer as your 9-5. You’re way to good and precise with these experimental projects.

[@JulianFernandez]

Sounds great!

[@bubblebutt2246]

I think you should try and make a bass drum out of a 55 gallon barrel. Just to see how good your metal working skills are.

[@punktkom]

I think you should make a drumset out of pringles cans or smth similar

[@DonderoA7]

It must be cool to have a good sounding piece on your drum kit that you made from scratch.

[@ryanmarcum4596]

The ad plugs at the end crack me up. Way to get paid, dude.

[@scottgirvanmusic8391]

Killer build
