Hand Hammered Cowbell?

[@loganf8946]

Selling a $4 dollar cowbell for $30? YOU MY SIR ARE A MARKETING GENIUS

[@rdavidr]

first you gotta beat with a hammer though

[@PTMG]

Considering how much work/time went into it I would say that hand crafted cowbell is very cheaply priced.

[@drummingdude98]

+plokmijn47 He got it for $4 from Harbor Freight.

[@rdavidr]

Keep in mind that basically all cowbells are made with less than $4 worth of steel... So no matter where you buy from your just paying for labor.

[@drummingdude98]

+rdavidr Makes sense. What's your favorite cowbell?

[@LanceCampeau]

Ever seen someone take a shattered cutting disc in the face? It ain't pretty, use a guard! Sounds WAY better

[@ATthemusician]

hey I know you

[@rdavidr]

uh oh, lance is turing into a safety troll! lol. The guard snapped on that dewalt so I got a new one for cutting disks and the dewalt is now dedicated to flap disks.

[@tristanmartinbass]

i had one break on me a few weeks back. i was wearing a face sheild and it hit the shield right where my left eye would no longer be. Lance is right man!!!

[@AndyGuyCantYouLiftForLife]

I hate safety trolls, but actually, lance is right. Better safe than blind.

[@GeebsBurnerAccount]

I bought the cowbell :) Thanks David! I'm going to either use it for gigs, or if I don't like it, donate it to my local school who are are looking for percussion instruments.

[@rdavidr]

awesome man! thats great! dont forget to write it off on your taxes ;)

[@ddsrecording]

No pics or links but this is RIGHT up you and your channel's alley!... I used to "Sanford n' Son" up super cheap and easy percussion accessory mounts to my hi-hat stand (or any cymbal stand I guess but it seems to work best on HH stand)... 1) steel rods/dowels from the hardware store thick enough to be able to mount standard cowbell/tambourine/jamblock sized mounts. 2) hose clamps wide enough to fit around you HH stand (we're talkin' below the actual HH, not on the rod) 3) vice 4) pliers, vice grips, man hands or tool of choice for bending the rod in 2 spots to make it work 5) Use 2 or more hose clamps (depending on how far down you made your first bend) to attach to HH stand 6) The first bend makes the angle to where you want the thing to reach to (of course shorter distances work best, less wobbly) 7) 2nd bend is to make it go upright again to mount your piece(s) of choice! 8) La-la-la-la-la-la Bamba! It actually used to work quite awesome with lighter weight stuff like smaller cowbells, tambourines or jamblocks! Please make a vid for my nostalgia's sake and everyone else's delight! Cheers from DDS!

[@cooxy245]

Needs more cowbell

[@andrewkropp2748]

There is always this person ^^^^

[@zxcvbnmasdfghjkl9439]

+Andrew Kropp and that person is always necessary to please the dank lords of dank memes

[@cooxy245]

xD

[@Liam.Millward]

David, re your welder problems, I used to have similar issues even though the wire feed seemed fine and the ground was clean. Try changinging the liner that the wire runs through, it can get kinked from repetitive use. So when you hold the trigger with it facing up it seems fine but when you weld in your normal position it may be catching in a kink. Take off the shroud, tip and adaptor to pull out the lining and it should be obvious if there is a kink. Hope this help, awesome videos.

[@slprhooptie]

for the welder change the tip and shield if you havnt. dobbers can get in there and act like it's ground prematurely

[@1979GenXdude]

You know what's actually worse than cowbells? Cowballs.

[@SawDawg241]

im so curious to see what you look like without a beard lol

[@abisai_lunag]

Hello bro could you make a video of how to make a dish by passing a ride to a crash , but reducing it and rectifying ... Greetings !

[@davidgoode1427]

The cowbell is a G for those tone freaks out there (I have no idea why someone would need to know that, I'm not a drummer 😂)

[@65Drums]

Thank you random citizen

[@SlimChanceDubs]

+Justin Greenawalt hey keep up the awesome videos

[@65Drums]

+anagramgamer Thanks man!

[@davidgoode1427]

+Mister Hawt Dawg tites lmao

[@TheSDRS]

David Goode it helps. Good to know

[@josevillanueva8403]

It's funny because I finally found a couple $100 drum sets but the one time I find then I don't have the cash ughhhh whyyyyyy

[@vlitglobvae-victis5383]

Another cool diy anvil attachment is a ball hitch. drill the hole in the stump just a tad smaller and it will thread right in. kudos on the suit case drum set too my friend. keep em' coming! You would be a fun guy to jam with. Rock N Roll!

[@TheLAJohanson]

I love the hammer sound when you fast forward xD

[@JesseBroman]

It ended up sounding more like an agogo bell to my ears. cool project!

[@LeakyJAZZ]

sounds exactly like my actual LP cowbell. Man I really want a bigger, deader cowbell.

[@thunderbomb501]

That sounds great man.

[@BIGCOREYATL]

I like the high pitch of this and the low pitch of the other one I want both

[@zxcvbnmasdfghjkl9439]

something intresting that i learned id you can mount a cowbell on the legs of your floor tom

[@kevbelanger1179]

Think it sounds actually really good both ways!

[@vaticpillars]

Sounds cool, like a cross between a brake drum and an agogo bell. If you made another one with a different pitch you'd be onto something.

[@gdeleonmusic]

How about you try adding those plastic things that are attached to cowbells like on the LP Ridge Riders?

[@vkiperman]

I think it sounds pretty good.

[@AALMONDJ0Y]

Hey, saw that you were having welder issues. Try opening up your gas a little. Idk if you're using CO2 or Argon. Maybe that would help a little.

[@matthewszostek1819]

the difference is probably in the metal quality. I'm sure HF used a very plastic untempe tempered low carbon steel...which would eat vibrations for breakfast lunch and dinner. you might try tempering it like a knife blade to turn it into tool steel. it should ring better then.

[@moenepeeters9071]

thanks rdavidr for the video now i can hammer my cowbell to

[@sharrythedave4758]

It sounds nice .

[@TheMilford]

I actually quite like the sound of this one.

[@ATthemusician]

lol that homemade anvil though

[@ddsrecording]

*dat homemade anvil dough

[@LucaTiraterra]

It sounds good actually

[@---ey4um]

I like the sound

[@gregorygoose]

Sounds cool! I would have bought it if I saw this earlier. Would you ever make an epic huge cowbell? Just for fun!

[@filipposchiavon13]

man the problem with the welder could be resolved adjusting the voltage : i don't know but if you set the voltage a little lower the steel shouldn't weld in drops if you know what i mean :D but i don't know really

[@mihumus]

Nice video mate!

[@Brokethelofi]

It sounds good

[@bruxo27]

Good job! I think he sounds more like a Agogo for brazillian/ latin rithms. Try do some Maracatu or Ijexa grooves! =)

[@michelles7939]

put a shield up when u weld bro, its bright

[@Pelvicador40]

Hey man I really want to buy this cowbell!

[@TheSDRS]

I think it came out awesome. Going to buy five and mess them all up

[@microkit]

I actually like the sound. What's holding onto the bass drum? I like the look of that mount.

[@Shiniiee]

Needs more cowbell.

[@Pong-Lenis]

How about hydroforming a thin cowbell?

[@p.c.1019]

Cool experiment bro!! Thanks for sharing. Big time. Could you tell me what mount you're uninformed for the bell? It looks hella sturdy... rock on!

[@p.c.1019]

Wow!!! Awesome typo correct! Could you tell me what hoop mount you're USING? Thanks for your time. Sympathy laughter gladly felt. 🛢

[@The_Nailsmith]

If you make it have rust and corrosion finish effect you can sell it and call it a scp 513 replica

[@bradboyle9929]

As popular as holey cymbals have become, how about an ozoned cowbell video?

[@erin9473]

when doing the welding turn the brightness 👇

[@Jared-nu2tz]

shut up

[@DrumPiper11]

Actually sounds pretty good to me 😀

[@pompouskatfish5402]

I don't have a mount. But I need the Crapbell.

[@jacob6769]

Sick

[@jordansimm1222]

Think i just got welders flash haha

[@moenepeeters9071]

nice video!

[@joeyh9840]

[@andrewkropp2748]

I didint know hagrid played drums

[@moisescarrillo7668]

Do you think you could make a Güira?

[@alexluna5268]

For the lug video you did about a month ago, how long do you keep the dw40 on because I'm doing it right now

[@thecolouroutofspacee]

man, ur so cooool

[@chromebull884]

sounds like the one from Led Zeppelin 1

[@jayechristian9697]

+Caleb : yeah I got the album and it definitely sounds like it!

[@tigerfire828]

dont you have to use a tig welder for steel and aluminum?

[@tigerfire828]

ill check in my welding handbook

[@jasondeans1588]

do you know how to Tig weld?

[@calebbarrera8990]

Hey Dave. I remember you saying something about you teching for a local high school in your area and if you still are I was just wondering how your band camp is going.

[@rdavidr]

hasnt started yet, still have still have a week off. Weve just been doing tuesdays through the summer, then band camp starts half way through august.

[@josevillanueva8403]

+rdavidr are you going to post some videos of the line( or if you tech for the pit the pit)

[@Quickerfixerupper]

If the lead of the gun is tangled or your holding it at to sharp of an angle the wire will get stuck in the lead.

[@rdavidr]

Its not a physical problem. its not completing the arc completely, the wire will come out fine but when it hits the metal itll just keep coming out without any weld action going on.

[@Quickerfixerupper]

+rdavidr what your describing sounds like a ground problem, but I'm not there, and without me actually touching the machine I can't give you a clear diagnosis. if it's not that the next step would be to look at your (amps) or wire feed speed, if your running to fast it won't strike the arc and you will just end up burning back a 1\2 in of wire with no result, at that point your can either turn up your volts to match your speed or turn down your speed to match your burn rate.

[@gonzaloalvarez1366]

I have a homemade stainless steel cowbell. this is piece of cake. ha ha ha lol.

[@jayechristian9697]

Oh man sheet metal is quite hard I it's textured and stubborn to remove

[@Yzkl_Lenhardt]

i think this cowbell meant for an actual cow

[@JulianFernandez]

40k subs vid coming? :D

[@UltraSojabohne]

are you a skilled craftsman or is it just for fun?

[@mikebarker9187]

I suspect welding stops the resonance of the metal, in the same way that cutting a slice out of a drum or cymbal would do. Yes? Perhaps do another Harbor Freight cowbell, but this time cut a chunk of scrap wood to fit inside the bell before doing the hammering.... Then get kids in band class to do the hammering..... Then take it back to Harbor Freight for a refund.

[@Swan234]

get a PO box or whatever it is in America. then people can send you stuff without having any effect on your personal address

[@shurdi3]

Now do Dethroned Emperor

[@bigpooter9771]

shurdi3 isn’t that a celtic frost song

[@nickymooncymbals]

[@sharrythedave4758]

What the hell ? Hammered cowbell ?

[@uberweiss6251]

22in snare drum for 50,000 subs!!!

[@zkacyy]

your wire feed might be too fast? hopefully you dont have to buy something else

[@ddummer]

Because you can.... :)

[@warrenwashington3532]

it actually look like a wallet

[@zedpwner]

were you playing yyz when demonstrating it

[@housesinmotion6031]

He was not.

[@juozapasjan4904]

Have you got a Twitter account?

[@fredrikgeitung9620]

Resting your welding gun on the metal may cause damage to the welding machine, not sure why, but so i'm told!

[@jamesbaltz8479]

This may be an alright idea but I think it would be cool if you gave away a home made kick beater with your name engraved on it. Make a video too. I love you buddy and also plz check out my garage band creations. Thanks

[@marksadventures3889]

sorry man preffered it as it was - think you screwed it..........if it aint broke...

[@knuthalvorsen1196]

Why put so much effort into a cowbell? It goes "clank clonk" no matter how you slice it. No diss, it just looks like much work for little outcome.

[@hwarang4ever365]

Thor as a drummer...

[@memor5514]

im no drummer but i dont dislike the sound

[@Ron-Hell]

Should of brazed it.

[@coonmusik3499]

[@ChaosPootato]

That's cool :'D

[@pepe7drum]

Well if it works dont fix it

It sounds shite beforehand though lmao

Muito trabalho para uma porcaría dessa? mais económico me sai comprar uma na loja...ridículo.

[@cleanandpristine]

seems like a lot of work for a shitty cowbell. just go buy one for 20 bucks at guitar center

[@perpetualgrimace]

My thought too, but it made for an entertaining video. :)
