Painting the Tom... finally

[@bayu7817]

literally the best channel for drummer

[@derekwhitney6000]

When are you gonna paint your cymbals

[@ralphiebarba]

FaderCloud thats the joke...

[@renedominguez4623]

Isn't that what paiste colorsounds and every other color coated cymbal is? IDK honestly but it does seem the surface treatment does dry them out a bit listen: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZWtZ3uuaMt3b8k & no coating kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5ysd41_mtuseas Bad comparison i know due to things like difference in size, recording gear and acoustics and maybe construction methods, etc. But listen to how much less the 22" rings even though it is the bigger cymbal. Still no definitive conclusion since I'm just going off these videos since I couldn't find an uncoated 22' rude mega bell model demo

[@etriganwind]

Oh shit

[@brown9671]

Dude etf

[@brown9671]

Lol

[@LanceCampeau]

Congrats on 10,000 + subs!

[@ymbertbonaventuredickens8878]

thanks man, really apr. it ;*

[@brandonlizarraga1742]

LanceCampeau wow 10,000... 10,000 is also the number of days it took him to paint the damn tom lol

[@jacobh9344]

@@brandonlizarraga1742 10,000 is also the number of times he painted and sanded it! 😂

[@invisiblemansband]

I'm on there like 3 times! lmao. It was fun picking on you

[@rickhxc]

you should work at some drums company, ever thinking of start your own custum drums co. ?

[@1thess523]

I am from the Era when we used to drink from the water hose and i am 41 yrs old, a little paint sniffing isn't going to hurt you unless you are under 35 yrs old you don't have that protective layer that the water hose water coated our innards with!

[@captainpiefox9133]

1thess523 water hose water is the best

[@fnv-w3n]

$20 drum set turned into the 20 year drum set :/ Turned out awesome! Your videos are very inspiring.

[@percussionfreak8201]

Haha! Your humor always makes my day!

[@kevinsetterlund]

Searched youtube because i wanted to paint my set.. found this gem 💎 lol

[@FrostedJr]

It's been almost a year... Have you finished the snare yet?

[@jacobthrasher558]

I love the longer videos, I can just sit back and watch you do all the work, haha. Merry Christmas man!

[@richardgrant7023]

My life is pathetic, but I've been waiting for this to happen (just learned about your videos a couple weeks ago). My Christmas is now complete. Thanks for all the great vids. Merry Christmas to all.

[@KRAMFPV]

I watched your video about the Moon gel VS Window Decal things. Never thought Id find those window decals since I live in the UK. But, walking through some weird ass shop, boom, decals. Bought some and thanks to a purple star my snare sounds awesome! You're a Genius!

[@lukam6804]

No way! Same for me! My mum bought a frozen window decal for my little brother and I stole some pieces and it sounds almost like a BFSD

[@watahyahknow]

the spraypattern on a paintgun is a flattened fan the to knobs that stick out the spraynozzle flatten the pattern so if you sprat up and don turn the nozzle or you spray thick in the middle and thin next to it and you get drips

[@iQuincyboy]

So finally it happened. Now I can sleep well again. Thank goodness. The ringtone is damn nice. Looking forward to the snare project!

[@yushinX1]

the best opening to any drum video ever. thanks for this david.

[@SugarwoIf]

"Who are you?" "It doesn't matter just paint the god damned tom already!" lmao

[@danielburke8683]

I'm a guitarist and I think I've seen every single video of yours, incredible channel, really enjoying binging on your videos and I swear I now know more about drumming than my drummer friends! Well done

[@cameronbuffa5442]

OH AND CONGRATS ON 10,000 SUBSCRIBERS! I remember when you only had 1,000! So awesome!

[@rdavidr]

+Cameron Buffa Thanks! I got a special vid next week for it!

[@donaldswink6259]

Dave, that drum set is really sharp looking. I’m also a drummer with 10 drum sets of various sizes, but my favorite set is on my computer it’s called real drum and it’s a free download. I also enjoy restoring old toys preferably toy trucks.

[@jessejamesentertainment8630]

You should make a high quality cymbals hard case. Custom depths to be the strongest possible, but smallest hardcase it can be. Hinge, clasp, whatever. I'd love to see something like that from you!

[@montenegro_chris666]

Definitely want to try this out. Thanks for the video. That's a sweet color!

[@johngrahammusic9545]

I don't think you realize how much we need that ringtone

[@SpookyMcGhee]

@rdavidr we need this

[@cameronbuffa5442]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR THIS VIDEO! FINALLY!!!!!! THANK YOU DAVID!!!!!

[@No_Transitory]

And this is why I wrap my drums. Fortunately I dont have the wood imperfections and my sanding is super light (mainly around hardware holes). AWESOME video though.. I love how you edit your content. Music and all... it's awesome.

[@tylerpons5887]

I like how thorough you are.

[@DJMarkyBu]

love your videos David, keep rockin

[@invisiblemansband]

David! make a hybrid snare drum out of those tom pieces! You've got the skills to do it. Also, you should buy cheap drum kits, deck them out than sell em. Good for your channel and make some extra scratch. I really like your videos. Always a blast to watch.

[@rushton84]

It's gorgeous!

[@RogerBergqvist]

Wow.... 9 months to paint a drum... That´s more than even Yamaha. It looks really good. Be proud.

[@TheConnorleewithsome]

man I LOVE the beats you make for your videos

[@JaceHebert]

Man you don't have anything to worry about when it comes to spraying without a respirator on, I paint rims an cars, an every painter at any body shop will tell ya they don't wear one in the summer. (which don't get me wrong that's kinda stupid cause I do lol) You have inspired me cause I've been looking at cheap sets on craigslist. so now i plan to buy one an paint it!

[@koffinginthemorning1305]

Your video was really funny, it cheered me up. A sticker from you I shall buy, my good sir!

[@rdavidr]

+Ana Isabel Lopez haha sweet!

[@itssokenny]

ever think about painting the hardware? I have a similar project in mind, however I want to paint the lugs and such white.

[@michaeltoman5427]

The opening part of this video was hilarious! I dig it.

[@spencersand7704]

What's that ringtone man! I love it lol

[@ppahl2166]

Beautiful colour, but I can't figure out why you primed it and then sanded all the primed paint off?

[@chrismcguire1758]

I've been so excited for this, I can't even... and your making a snare too? Best series in the world!! 😆👌

[@jimhayes3225]

Hey, I got a Ludwig accent classic floor Tom black, I think lacquer, I want to paint it orange enamel, should a light sanding be enough prep or do I need to remove the lacquer completely?

[@Theredstar2478]

where did he get the ringtone from

[@rdavidr]

made it

[@Theredstar2478]

+rdavidr nice!! lol

[@edgartrejos7226]

+rdavidr would u mind shareing those songs with one of your followers!!? 😉

[@nm112209]

rdavidr you should share that ringtone. It’s epic

[@rhythmcaster2018]

My favorite tune. Listen to it all the time on SoundCloud.

[@Desborough_Heathen]

Love your work dude! The $20 set looks fantastic!! Matching colour 13" snare next?

[@murk]

hey david, whats the orginal track you sampled in the background music of this video?

[@Pedritoturrito]

oh btw the toom turned out great looking, good job as always

[@RobotequeMusic]

have you ever painted lugs? i did it for a drum i sold...although i prepped them it came out kind of shitty

[@nataIieatbest]

that ringtone tho. i need it

[@jamesnusky6257]

Nice job. Looks great

[@conorreedR2C]

My thoughts during the first minute: "He's not gonna paint it here. He's just gonna do stuff like this for the whole video."

[@thanasispsaroulis9141]

you make my day!!i love your videos!!please make a video about your pedal!it's a custom pedal from different parts..isn't it?i want to make someday a custom pedal...

[@musiclover6751]

Looks really good man. Nice work.

[@reevesgolda5072]

Would spray paint work for this kind of project?

[@swccbakersfieldca2076]

What is the name of the color of that set? I love it I buy and restore drums and that seems to be next on my agenda.

[@SkaterzAle]

Last drum, best finish!

[@trevorwood2118]

That is the most epic ringtone ever!!! XD

[@leguman]

hello, how long between painting, sanding, painting please?

[@justinmason100]

I love these kinds of videos man. I had totaly forgot about that tom haha

[@jamestsquid]

Dude, you have sooo much patience!!

[@anthony_mosca]

You should paint the snare drum that color too

[@jessesecatello6661]

I wanna paint a whole drum kit and see how it comes out

[@justingabriel3833]

what kind of remo skin do you have on your bass drum? Looks awesome

[@civ05]

Hey man, exactly what kind of spray clear coat is that that you used

[@BeauManning]

Looks great! Merry Christmas!

[@aidencunha735]

so good man, will worth the wait.

[@owencramer1511]

Hey I'm thinking about making a 10 inch tom. Do you know where I can find just a plain shell?

[@davidmontenegro8424]

You can find plain shells at Drum factory direct . com

[@bigberd3680]

I want to see you do marching drums

[@BeauManning]

What grit did you use with the hand sander? And do you have any suggestions on how to take off factory paint on a snare drum? It seems like it's going to be really hard. All I have is a hand sander.

[@rdavidr]

+Beau Manning I used 120 grit in the video because its all I had left lol, but I would suggest 60 or 80 grit for taking factory finishes, then once you get through the finish work through to the finer grits.

[@jorgeayala8951]

HAHAH! Finally man, you just made my day. No joke. you are amazing.

[@jerminsanchez3274]

Dude i do the exact same thing, i begin projects do em in little bits and finish months later

[@joshualouey3278]

Wow it looks new great project now the snare😈

[@CK-rs7kq]

Dude you should do some cymbal projects like reworking and hammering

[@jyrnx4196]

you really made me want to chase drum building

[@OscarGomez-of7zi]

When u ganna paint your snare huh?

[@SANDS78]

Very cool, What kind of paint was that you sprayed? Water-based Lacquer?

[@mikegutsch5769]

A bit late, but glazing putty is what you need for prepping open-grain wood for paint.

[@mracdcjailbreak]

hey man, thinking of doing something similar. could you name the brands used? you got nice results and im thinking of colouring mine a goldy yellow thing :). love your videos

[@ellrich07]

where can I find those kinda lugs that you have on that drum ??

[@gp569]

love your projects and vids! Random Q: where do your cool shirts? (like that thrash one)

[@rdavidr]

+Griffin Pickel Anywhere and everywhere, but Thrash Flow is a small label and a buddy of mine is signed to them. They have a website, just google it.

[@chorles3770]

Bruh 4 years and you still need a bigger routing table

[@twinsmm1]

don't use wood filler, use grain filler (yes, there's a difference). watch some videos on "grain filling a guitar". watch some videos on wet sanding and buffing out the clear on a guitar. the processes would be exactly the same to get that "smooth as glass" finish (like stuff comes from a factory). btw, a good grain filler is this stuff called timber mate. it's sold online and at woodcraft stores (if there's one near you).

[@domokornmusic]

7:50, Steve Miller sample?

[@rdavidr]

+Dominic O'Korn yep

[@tottunesplus6918]

incredible! great work as always. thanks so much for making these videos

[@jakemorenc6981]

How come you recut the bearing edge?

[@vincenzogrossi4704]

If you want to mount the tom on a cymbal stand, just try to buy a used Ludwig Atlas Bracket. It works great!

[@rdavidr]

+Vincenzo Grossi oh wow that looks interesting, ill have to check it out

[@vincenzogrossi4704]

I've got it on my drumset and i find it superb, the shell resonate, you can choose the hoops that you like (I use 2.3 triple flanged), it doesn't damage the shell and obviously you don't have to drill the tom!.

[@peijase]

Hey u should totally get to that snare u said u were gonna assemble

[@tobiastk5391]

0:31 dude, what ring tone is that? i want it

[@RP744TehObjectThingy]

It's the iPhone Marimba ringtone, but he edited it so that it sounds demonic, or according to him, "like a 3-year-old learning how to play marimba" XD

[@thebumbumdrummer]

hey David i play marimba and that ringtone sounds killer y really need it !! haha

[@NATAGUILARMUSIC]

This ONE! I didn’t see it in your video with all your kits😢

[@CaudillCH1]

How did you make the RDavidR stickers?

[@skylertalley]

Hey man love your videos! I was inspired by your videos to do some cool stuff so i created 6 foot sound proof walls in my garage drum settup, they look great i wish i could send you a picture of them!

[@Ranger1216]

6 or 7 coats with sanding….that is a professional level like Gretsch which has its famous stains. So….like to see you do a full stain also….thanks for showing how to paint…..it is a big job….

[@tmsfernandes]

where do you get that metal ring you put on with the hammer? been trying to find one.

[@rdavidr]

+Tiago Fernandes its an air vent from another old drum I had, but check out Drum Factory Direct, they sell them

[@tmsfernandes]

+rdavidr Exactly! an air vent! thanks a lot, keep up with the good work brother.

[@DansRailroad2011]

More painting, more sanding, more painting, some more sanding, some more painting, some more sanding, a bit more painting, yet more sanding. 30 years later... XD

[@johnikkutheangelhog]

I'm going to try to paint my snare drum skin dark blue and little bit of white.

[@dtxnando1344]

Bro make a video of you painting a pedal white like the iron cobra

[@8bit_coder]

0:28 gravity fails?

[@RP744TehObjectThingy]

*Strange demonic ringtone that sounds like "a 3-year-old learning how to play marimba"* rdavidr: "Paint it"? Who...? Hello? Demonic voice: PAINT IT. rdavidr: W-who are you?! Demonic voice: THAT DOESN'T MATTER, JUST PAINT THE GODDAMN TOM ALREADY. JUST DO IT. rdavidr: What...wh...who....WHAT?!

[@aakkoin]

-Paint the tom!! Paint it! Paint it! Paint it! Paint it! -Okay, FINE!!! *seven coats of paint*

[@josephstarns4609]

Glad ya kept hoops natural. I love the natural hoops

[@rdavidr]

+Joey Starns - NarsAcoustic Cannibal ya dont say ;)

[@maluorno]

+Joey Starns - NarsAcoustic Cannibal - ...and straight lugs!

[@rdavidr]

as opposed to unstraight lugs?

[@josephstarns4609]

It would be really hard to tune with unstraight lugs. Hmmmmm I'm not even sure what "and straight lugs" means but still love natural hoops

[@NeXoPlays]

Hey David! Just wondering where you get your background music or is it yours? Thanks!

[@benhogan4790]

Have you ever considered making a few custom snares or other parts and selling them online? Would definitely do well considering the amount of work you put in.
