I've been watching this channel 6 hours straight and I'm not even a drummer

[@daviddavis893]

Marcos Gava ive been watching a long time too, i just subed today, love this guy, hell im a guitar player!

[@patrickcruz3313]

me too hahahahah

[@C0smicVoid]

Same

[@joshcheee8659]

haha peasant

[@alfiedelevaldrumz5874]

It’s the voice

[@rorylevell2762]

22' snare... i dare you

[@matthewrhodes8173]

Yes plese do it

[@babycarl9519]

+matthew rhodes well. good luck finding a 22 inch snare wire .

[@zlought]

I'm pretty sure he'll find a way to make one!

[@babycarl9519]

+Christophe Khabouth yeah . It would be pretty damn nice to see and everything but practical

[@DrewKane]

He could use catgut without any issues, like a marching snare does. You can get good catgut snare cord in 48" lengths for about $10, or get 20 feet for about $50. All he would need is a marching snare throw off, which isn't difficult to acquire.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

You a genius.

[@parkerevans1356]

Hey I know you :3

[@francoaranda6499]

@Winky Tinky Doo r/woooosh

[@lemueldiocan8843]

Enjoy your brand new drum kit..😂😂

[@kevinbronson4765]

I know this was 4 years ago but hes still the most creative guy on KZbin.

[@joshuachinchilla133]

[@zedpwner]

omfg lol thanks

[@aeligzande]

XD thanks!

[@earlsweezy3440]

howd you know 😂

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

For cutting the snare gates a Dremel tool also works pretty fine, just use the heavy - duty cut-off wheels, as they do not wear off so fast as the standard cut-off wheels offered by the same company.

[@udaman100]

This guy must be a carpenter for a living. His creativity with wood shows that and all of those tools (drill press, table saw, router, ect) all cost THOUSANDS. Dude must make bank too

[@sirosvaziri]

The hardware popping up at 0:05 made me giggle out loud. You're a genius hahaha.

[@emotisean]

this is so awesome, I can't believe I haven't found your channel yet. Awesome stuff man.

[@rdavidr]

[@cryptix808]

nice build

[@BERTHUG89]

2:25 what 's the name of this tool

[@Jonas4747]

router. he mounted it upside down on some plywood.

[@mustagezaadrian9736]

the triangular tool is an angle welding magnet wich it holds 2 pcs of metal and after you put it you weld. #Bertrand

[@slunkm.4890]

Have you ever tried to make a rocktagon

[@badtripmoses]

I did this same project a few times in the past. About 7 years ago I converted an old 20"×12" marching bassdrum I had into a "megabass snare" for an 1980's over the top "cannon shot" type snare effect I needed for a demo track I was writing/recording & it was actually a pretty unique drum lol. I connected 2 10" snare strands from a couple of popcorn snares I made once & made it fit the 20" snare side pretty good! eventually I ended up making it into a drum coffee table for my studio/mancave lol. I dig your videos & money saving tips & ideas for the starving drummers out there! I've rebuilt, customized & messed around with percussion and other instruments since I was 8 years old & still love the gitty feeling I get when I'm working on a drum project or find an old drum kit at a yard sale for cheap so I can restore it & give it new life or resell it & make a lil $$ :)

[@mintydan2312]

You should turn the over half of the drum in to a coffee/end table that would be cool!

[@highstickpercussioncustomd1453]

Great video with some AWESOME ideas! My favorite (since no one asked) is the rim conversion. Great idea since some places charge twice as much for snare side rims. Oh...and thanks for being a drum hoarder. Now I can prove to my wife that I'm not the only one!

[@NatePick]

I really like the snare drum man. It sounds good. I have a request though. Can you make a video of different pitch tuning (low/mid/high) without muffling and then the same different pitch tuning with muffing. I would love to hear how dynamic it can be. (after you get the new head of course.) :D

[@oatboat3760]

Nice dry dark old school-ish hip hop snare sound

[@ChimichangaGuy]

Hey David what kind of ride cymbal is that? the bell has a very tall profile.

[@moriturism]

It’s a 20” Sabian Paragon crash

[@jacksonmasco]

probably the best secondary snare ive ever heard

[@leokacz7790]

Hey man I just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your videos and how they are set up. You do such a good job of editing them and it shows that you put a lot of time into it. Keep up the good work!

[@aaron2414]

straight 90s hip hop snare sound, well done build

[@arthurdoctolero8813]

What a cool snare drum makeover! I would call this wrap the Birthday Tie-Dye.

[@system_shift4707]

His videos are so quality, why doesnt he have more attention and subs?

[@chasedeery1665]

Wow that's awesome. It sounds like a DW ballad snare, I love it!!! So phat and deep.

[@BADD400]

Dave that is insane. That is a killer snare drum

[@AndrewEwing1995]

You are so creative and talented with your custom made drums and hardware. Keep up the hard work. I appreciate your videos and what you do for it.

[@joshuaestrada6042]

I like the way it sounds it sounds muffled and deep it so like a bass drum with snares good job

[@ShermanWilson]

Dayum! I'm very impressed. it's extremely responsive, I had my doubts. Very cool!

[@gabrielszarose5640]

Great !!!! love that tie dye colouring

[@Robbie.D.Rancid]

yo why hasn’t david mad a phat snare yet? like we talking a W I D E lad an absolute UNIT of a snare, why david? why don’t you give us the super snare

[@DrewKane]

I wish you would have played the drum without all of that muffling. Remove the wallet and star gel. Let's hear that baby ring.

[@rdavidr]

too much snare buzz, Im hoping the other head will help that

[@donniemiranda2926]

Drew Kane... You are back again arguing with some ringing of the toms. You argued about some tom ringing on Steve's channel.

[@DrewKane]

Donnie Miranda I am not arguing, and I believe you have me confused with somebody else.

[@donniemiranda2926]

Lol. No. You argued with me about how I enjoy shitty tones on my toms. You can look up "Reno head test" and you'll find Steve's channel and you'll see the comments where you and I are arguing. Lol. Have a good day.

[@DrewKane]

Donnie Miranda If I said it, I meant it. Have a good day. 

[@reetmyfeet9851]

idk why but his drumming is just so satisfying to watch

[@pawelmorrison]

Seems like a lot of effort for a not-so-good sounding snare, but I do appreciate your dedication and technical skill. I enjoyed the video, here, take my like!

[@jemdrum9653]

Sweet Sounding Drum, Awesome Tone.

[@ScottShireman]

Just got around to ordering my first Wrap from Walopus. Custom Wrap too! Thanks again!

[@Matt__bain]

The quality of your videos just gets better and better! Great work David :)

[@M4RCM0NT31R0]

This looks like a snare that Daru Jones would use!

[@josharthurs6566]

Sounds great and looks great.

[@bndncn]

It sounds like a regular snare pitched down! Insane!

[@some1namedfriedchickenlemo593]

This snare is awesome. I want one!

[@PhireXZ]

I love the sound of it

[@andrewmilbankdrums]

Sick! Getting an old school hip hop vibe from that snare. Put a BFSD on that thing and I bet itll explode

[@LegosAndBowling]

Those fills are so clean!

[@brasspic]

You make very engaging videos about really fun projects - great stuff!

[@Salvenonsivedemai973]

Super particular sound.... love it!

[@izzychago]

This is my new favorite snare

[@justincroft2363]

that wrap looks cool I like it good choice 10/10 IGN

[@skatertwig26]

IGN 6/10 haha

[@almondlowe2838]

Great job David. Sounds cool

[@Elismartincook]

Men i love how you build everything you need. I would love to make my own snare drum.

[@ATthemusician]

I just made a 14x 10 steel drum. I rolled it rather than casting it (I don't have a foundry that burns at 2,500 degrees) it didn't come out amazing but it works. some of the lug holes are slightly off. next time I'm going to do a free floating snare so I have less to mess up on.

[@StiGy]

Man the finish is beautiful!

[@hildebrandspencer]

Killed the play along track! Awesome beats! Drum sounds killer to!

[@gonzaloalvarez1366]

Nice man really cool. It sounds great. A really fat sound. Now, we wanna ear it without any muffling. Just the natural sound of the snare. Also a huge fantastic work. greetings from Argentina.

[@Supermurm9000]

BRO LOVIN THE SOUND OF IT

[@martonkardos8094]

Oh my god! This thing is huge!!!

[@JandersonWeekend]

muito incrivel! parabéns, aqui no brasil não tem quem faça essas coisas realmente muito bacana! um abraço de um fã do brasil!

[@RobotequeMusic]

I'm really liking that snare! I'd tune it really high to see what it can do.

[@G0RD0NL1M35]

Beautiful! You are very skilled and talented!

[@hootenhuggybear]

I love the sound of that snare brother!!! damn good job!

[@tdrum21]

Cool track and snare sound

[@NATAGUILARMUSIC]

One of my favorite so far, good stuff man!

[@KingBlonde]

That song at the end and your playing was fucking great!

[@jonasmalzahn6566]

Sounds epic! Great video and I really like your playstyle

[@uwepetersen]

Awesome Video as always, inspires me to revitalize my old 16" Landknechtstrommel.

[@bryanlozano3786]

Love your videos and the creativity you have bro keep good work and love the snare so meaty and punchky

[@joemarquez4721]

Great drum. Great song too...

[@JeserNoob]

Dude those fills were so gooooooood what an interesting style

[@joshuajones3532]

Nice. I like the drill modification.

[@Josh131996]

Let's hear it cranked up to the stratosphere! I bet it sound amazing tuned tight. You keep at it, you wizard you.

[@crispychickensandwich3886]

Sounds like ass but it looks pretty. I'm biased because I like tight little piccolo snares that split your ear hole.

[@rdavidr]

well if I wanted it to sound like a piccolo snare, I would make it a piccolo

[@crispychickensandwich3886]

rdavidr Not hating, David, just commenting. I've watched your videos for a couple years now and I know well enough that not everything you make is going to be a personal hit for me but that hasn't stopped me from watching. You dig it, and that's all that matters.

[@Marz5004]

I just absolutely love your channel. 😆

[@xfredoux]

sounds freaking good man

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

This drum sounds great! Just try to get some custom Remo bottoms for it, just ask your local drum shop, as Remo makes almost any size and type on special order, but just be prepared for the price, about 60 - 80 $ per head, depending on the size.

[@LanceCampeau]

looks killer! but i'd put a Remo Diplomat coated on TOP... you'll need a really thin/low mass head to get that high, snare-like tension for stick bounce/reactivity. Love it!

[@thatguy-bt2hq]

+Jim B. i think you haven't seen lance's videos yet, go see it he makes custom cymbals for the drum he plays. he knows what he tells you and it's his preference

[@louistyson4305]

you are so creative dude i love your channel

[@thegreenfish21]

Sounds awesome, cant wait til I can give something like this a go.

[@dr.spacekitten1079]

love that fat snare sound and it looks great! thanks for the video; its inspiring to make my own snare out of an old tom.

[@AndreJeanChretien]

Great playing at the end! your drum sounds awesome!

[@LukeDatema]

That thing looks amazing!

[@friendstorebandtn]

That snare sounds so gnarly man!

[@coreyballenger5600]

Please post an update once you put on the proper reso head!

[@fiends8908]

"This thing looks amazing and I love the way it looks"

[@JoshuaWShanks]

Love the channel! You're like the Macgyver of drumming!

[@Marz5004]

That's beautiful.

[@BrickLogicStudios]

Dude this is amazing! If your Job for life was fixing and building drums, you would be the best! Now I want to make a snare drum!

[@beanotraffini681]

Cool! I love drums & Drummers (although I'm not one, myself)!

[@jayechristian9697]

Another awesome vid

[@coheedandgeddy2900]

Nice one man, sounds awesome and it looks freakin sweet!

[@robertosanchezdrums2130]

Sounds awesome

[@canaldisaa6551]

Thaang! You have some cool stuff on your chanel bro. Thanks so much for all the information you share. Keep it up..!

[@KaosGate]

Love it! Kinda want to try make my own now, thanks for the inspiration dude :d

[@gabescustoms3281]

I got your stickers and put them on my kit and I love them!

[@oldskool228]

awesome job dude!!

[@micahwinters7021]

That was sweet! I wanna make one!

[@DrumHeadV]

What a sick build! Well done. :D Love the wallet mod also. ;)

[@pierandresmaldonado4592]

I love it! Make more videos like this😍

[@julianlanfra]

muy bueno! quedo espectacular!

[@Heehee741]

6:45 You mad man

[@MrSawlong]

Shit this snare sounds aaaaaaaaaaaawesome! it reminds me of old Slingerland snaredrums

[@whiskerbiscuit6674]

Does it? He has moon gel and his wallet on it to control it. And that's only what we can see

[@MrSawlong]

@@whiskerbiscuit6674 Dude, you have ears, dont you?

[@Sgt5105]

dang, just saw this awesome video man. crazy 16" fat snare sound. I'm definitely gonna try to make one myself soon. minus the crazy wrap. lol

[@eddiemoyer956]

Dude that shit sounds completely AMAZING

[@maprow]

Great build! For less than the price of whatever the cheapest overpriced piece of junk they have at Guitar Center, you've got a totally unique snare with tons of character. Definitely need to put a new resonant head on it. I tried a resonant tom head on one of my snares once and had similar issues. No sensitivity, hard to tune, etc. Loved the build and looking forward to your next project.
