So fortunate your son asked you to make him his first pad….that is a great honor…..

[@Woodified]

yes it was

[@LadyJ_Guitar-Drums]

Wow, so glad I found your video today! Great idea! Picking up the drums again after 20 years and I need a practice pad.

[@Woodified]

Wonderful!

[@banzChad]

I'm practicing double paradiddles,this actually a really good tutorial I liked it alot

[@Woodified]

Thanks Night Eagle. Good luck with your rudiments.

[@Thor962]

ALL OF THE RUDIMENTS! Awesome video! Gonna make, a dimmed down version of this for my students.

[@Woodified]

Thank you. Have fun with the build!! If you have any questions feel free to leave it in the comments as I read them all.

[@kevinjohnson6531]

the 3 best rudiments to start, are the "single stroke roll, Double stroke roll, and the single paradiddle." Start slow until it feels comfortable and then speed it up a bit.

[@Woodified]

Thanks for the advice Kevin.

[@puppygadget3189]

Always use Metrodome. After using one for awhile you hear it even when not using one so then your meter with be on time. Shows you also when your off when you wouldn't know otherwise making you a better drummer when you hope on the drums.

[@sumosprojects]

Beautifully done, now time for rocknroll 🤘🤘🤘

[@Woodified]

Thank you!

[@_bloodshot_ice3361]

thanks bro, def gonna help me pick up drums in my room so i dont bother anyone bieng too loud :)

[@Woodified]

Awesome glad my vid helped you!

[@lalhmunmawiapachuau7777]

Nice work! That's the best substitute for those expensive drum pads in the music stores. Afterall, drum pads are (normally) nothing but rubbers attatched to wood 😇

[@Woodified]

Yes, and they're super easy to make your own.

[@lalhmunmawiapachuau7777]

@@Woodified Btw, I practice paradiddles these days 😇🥁🎼

[@4THALSTME]

Excellent video! And perfect pad!!! I'm going to do that!!! 👍🏾♥️

Have fun!

[@MeiBrozYT]

Good video, currently I am working to get a faster paradiddle because I just started drum lessons 😀

Rock on!

obrigado por assistir

I am using a milling maschine to cut out circles. I guess the best tool to build circles is a lathe.

[@DrewNationDrums]

Good stuff ... like the diy drum pad I’m starting back from scratch since I haven’t played into years, so I’ll be doing single stroke paradiddles and double Doing a restoration drum that is taking for ever but it’s almost done lol

[@Woodified]

Good luck with the restoration. I've thought about trying to build a drum kit myself but haven't had the time.

[@DrewNationDrums]

Woodified Thank you I appreciate that

[@robgraves1510]

Im doing the same thing but im going to glue the cork in between the wood and rubber.

[@Woodified]

That sounds like it's worth trying.

[@seeks7413]

i'm practicing my region band music i am actually performing this weekend i'm scared ): i will do good though... i hope. (:

It is not enough bouncy when you drop a stick in frefall stick must bounce minimum 6-12 times,try to aply 1 more ruber circle on top of that red ruber and learn how to hold sticks and for cuting same thing but i used a Sandpaper rottary machine for edges

[@Woodified]

thanks for the tips

[@ReinDeBoer13]

I am practicing hertas because they are the most important rudiment

[@Woodified]

Thanks for sharing

[@clockworkpercussion]

Great video. Thank you for making this 🥁🤘

[@Woodified]

My pleasure! Rock on!

[@jaromirjanski2057]

Pertty nice, just under few conditions: you need proper tools, some skills, enough time and a lot of patience for such a DIY. You'll probably save few bucks, as the drumming pads, like that one you made, aren't very expensive. The only reward you'll get is a satisfaction of a selfmade pad. Is it worth it?

[@Woodified]

If I didn't have access to the tools and enjoy making things I'd just go and buy one. However I enjoy the problem solving that comes with DIY projects.

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Nice project. I have never heard anyone pronounce the word router like that...

[@Woodified]

Glad you liked the project. For the pronunciation of router... I am Canadian, Eh!

I am also learning to play drum and my exercise is 2 times left and 2times right for 1hour

[@Woodified]

L L R R and repeat. To some that will sounds easy but as you get faster it gets harder not to mess it up. I've tried. I can't go an hour. Have fun.

Yes good for practicing your rudiments

Single strokes......l want some to buy but it is scarce in our country (Ghana)

[@Woodified]

thanks for watching. Maybe you can find something else to use instead.

[@yesiamllame5068]

hello! but what kind of cork sheet did you use? is it rubberised or natural one?

[@Woodified]

I used a natural cork tile amzn.to/3e3vDEG (Affiliate link).

[@vincentbuonora8477]

Recommend say 1/4 inch rubber or at least 3/16….

[@Woodified]

Thanks for the tip

[@mc3monday]

I think a piece of old tire cut and screwed to a board would be cheaper and maybe better .

[@Woodified]

Interesting... Do you think it would matter whether the section of tire was flat?

[@mc3monday]

@@Woodified I am saying find an old car tire and cut a box shape out of it . The balder the tire the better . Glue that to a board . I spend enough on music equipment . I would not want to spend a dime on a practice pad . Take care .

[@paigecheney7284]

How thick was your cork sheet?

[@Woodified]

The cork sheet was 3/8 inch thick.

[@rb95403]

super!

I don't sell them at this time. You could try and make your own following my video.
