Idea for next project. Make a mold for a snare shell, then melt down aluminum cans to make an aluminum snare. Could be cool.

[@MrJoshloper]

Steven Pryor that’s the best!

[@brandonpryormusic]

Gotta make it shallow so it really pops..........

[@abrahamnaula]

Lol that’d be funny

[@austincox1709]

no, cast obsidian

[@andrewmurphy5310]

Aren't drums too thin too cast?

[@HHGdrums]

Awesome job man!!! You did a great job building it out!

[@nram3930]

That is actually a really sweet looking snare. I like my snares shorter (in height). Wish I could have bought a whole drumset from you but I *just* bought a Yamaha Stage Custom (birch 22") and tuning it is driving me nuts (it's my first drumset, though I've been drumming since I was 3, and I have NO idea what to do ._.). I guess I'll build my own at some point, always wanted to make cymbals anyway :D Also here's a little idea I had. What if you had non-cylinder shells? Maybe if you had shells with spikes on the inside you could do a lot of funky things with resonance as more of the low tones will be captured by the shell. Maybe it brings out the lower end? Maybe add some holes (like ocarinas) that, when air flows through them, they create a whistle type of thing? Just wanted to know if anyone tried or thought about any of these. Haven't copyrighted these yet so make them while you still can, or just copyright them yourselves that's fine too. I'll go cry in a corner now.

[@MM-MISTER-M]

Very nice.

[@JJ_Squillario]

@@nram3930 that sounds like a sick idea. Go for it when you can.

[@Sundaydrumday]

If your lookin for drummers to push ur product, I'm new but if u check my videos out maybe u will see potential, maybe not? But would love to represent someone like u, who's comin up...either way ur drums are absolutely gorgeous and they sound so damn good!!!

[@Officialshayne]

I think some dark brown wooden hoops would look amazing!

[@LanceCampeau]

Looks slick!

[@yusukeuzumaki6356]

LanceCampeau i love your channel so much

[@scottgarvey7011]

LanceCampea

[@jacktoddy9783]

I love the metallic hollow sound you get when the snare is full-on - at the highest tension. That sound I find rare and brings a wonderful dynamic to simple drum patterns/expression. Great build, congratulations.

[@CharlieLord]

Ahhh the P77... the grim reaper of a drum's character 😭😭

[@rdavidr]

yes... I learned that the hard way lol

[@CharlieLord]

rdavidr yeah I just find anything with an edge ring is always too much on a snare...

[@TheDrummaboy78]

Are you guys referring to the dryness of the drum?

[@martijndenhartog]

You should try making a super High tension snare drum , 20 luggs on a piccolo snare with a kevlar head

[@zedpwner]

i dont think they make 20 lug rims. but imagine a 12 lug top and a 4 lug bottom

[@martijndenhartog]

Well yeah maybe i am overeacting with 20, but to see the. Max, would be amazing

[@josueproequipos]

this snare is completly sick I love it, amazing job David

[@masterarbi]

FINALLY ALL MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD, GOD EXIST MY DUDES!!!! THE BEARDED GUY FINALLY FINISHED THE HHG SHELL!!!!!!!

[@Zfitz1128]

Never clicked a notification so fast

[@filsolano5465]

You must be very proud of this build. I know I would be. The stamp on that badge just made it even more priceless. Bravo!!!

[@BADD400]

Great sounding snare. Awesome build.

[@magrildz]

Absolutely GORGEOUS. Awesome work, man!

[@evcricket]

I really like the sound of this. Looks gorgeous too

[@rddsknk89]

That’s just about the coolest looking snare i’ve ever seen. With the tube lugs it looks a lot like a marching snare

[@zacdrake]

WOW!! Super Sweet!!!! Great job, Dude!! Beautiful drum and sounds great too!!! You made the right choice with the die cast hoops!!!

[@Senzenfrenz]

Two Tone Snare (b - e flat). Sounds and looks great!

[@TheDrummaboy78]

So sick! I really enjoy your videos RDavidR!

[@ManiacX-rf3nx]

Awesome content man. I hope to see you posting more in the future. Rock on 🤘

[@aaronhavens1121]

This inspired me to make a stave snare for my brother, thanks for sharing!

[@1toonhead]

That snare sounds as good as it looks. Bloody Awesome.

[@boarhead5573]

I'm making a trainee as carpenter and you guys totally inspired me to build a drum on my own. Damn that must be fun!

[@gatorgoforth3097]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="665">11:05</a> you can see my custom reclaimed Douglas Fir stave snare with custom aged brass hardware. I can't recommend HHG Drums enough. They are super friendly and stoked on making your dream snare. Please consider them if you decide the custom route.

[@llittledrummerboy4035]

the snare sounds absolutely beautiful

[@maprow]

Really nice job. I did a similar build a few years ago using a Keller shell and all Trick hardware. Very satisfying and rewarding to play on a drum that you've personally invested so much time into.

[@rdavidr]

indeed!

[@vandavis911]

so awesome Sam made you an amazing shell .

[@paulysci925]

Congratulations on your project completion!

[@oldowl4290]

David it looks like you have a nice shop set-up now. And congrats on the drill press. I highly recommend old Delta, Rockwell, and my personal favorite Walker Turner. Since you are on the east coast they are more plentiful there, especially upper east coast but they come up cheap on Craigslist from time to time. I have a full shop of the them now..all from 1940 to 1960.

[@mustard92]

Still my favourite YT channel. Killing it man.

[@koogalboogal1238]

Such a beautiful drum!

[@micahwinters7021]

Sweet sweet sweet! Always good when rdavidr posts a video!

[@jna3341]

Are you going to remake the cable hihat stand for the suitcase drumset?

[@taylorgriffinmusic]

I'd be into watching that!

[@MaxwellVideos]

Been waiting for that for aggggeeez

[@DannyAckermans]

A very nice end result! you can be proud of your hard work.

[@ryandelaney9236]

I've always wanted a stave snare...still do. Looks sick. Sounds sick.

[@jesuslover9199]

Yesssss!!! It turned out awesome.

[@jfoz7602]

That snare is a work of art 👌

[@doogbazzard]

My favorite build yet!

[@nicholasregister7396]

Give it some love with those triple flange and a 2 ply coated batter. I’m always curious to hear a drum singing. Great job on this man, really inspiring.

[@Ben2D]

Damn that badge ties the whole drum together. Also just bought some rdavidr stickers and i can't wait for them to come in!

[@danielortega3647]

Bad ass brother! The drum came out awesome and sounded great. I like that you put your logo on there. Nice touch!

[@just-in0287]

LOOKS AWESOME! Nice job 👍🏻

[@gavin_bigred]

That thick shell makes this sound so fucking GOOD

[@NuDrums]

Really loved this man. You inspire me so much!

[@tonyrotolo6384]

I’ve seen you make cowbells before, and it’s always cool to hear the new sound of the different metals and I thought it might be cool if you made a cowbell out of an old cymbal.

[@jamiewilkinson9052]

Lovely snare!

[@bielanski2493]

It really ties the drum together, man.

[@andriealinsangao613]

Yeah, well, Dave abides!

[@pauljohnson3317]

Wow that looks great! It looks like a marching drum!

[@garybeckman3382]

Well done ! Perfect work man.

[@dionchagas]

Looks nice. Sounds nice. Great vid...as usual. Greetings from Brazil.

[@DehojeA8Drums]

Ficou muito massa, e bom saber que igual a mim existe pessoas que disponibiliza esse tipo de conteudo gratis para os amigos baterista, parabéns sucesso!

[@cvnb77]

That is seriously beautiful!

[@felixthemonkey7928]

this looks really cool. Someone should sell some like this one. an entire drum set must look awsome.

[@Shurmstick]

That sounds warm n fantastic

[@bandslam33]

Awesome sound!!!! Loved it

[@MelancholicSaiko]

a worthy test play for a snare as great as this.

[@BEElaine1008]

Nice....and the badge is cool!

[@olvegravklev1087]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="324">5:24</a> Gotta love that tone, last note of the melody in the background music lol.

[@chriscollins50]

Literally my perfect snare!

[@SemperFortis22]

A thing of beauty!

[@skomantas8699]

So beautiful snare drum

[@expulsado]

looks amazing dood

[@jeffreymoore8364]

Beautiful snare bro!

[@Riddim4]

THAT is the stave build. Less mass on the shell allows lower tuning, if desired. This idea originated with Chris Brady’s baritone snare drums. Rhett Hendrix took it further with his archetype series, which have the thick rings and scooped out interiors yours have.

[@markwilliam6745]

Sounds awesome man

[@Robfunkel]

It's about time! Hahaha been looking forward to this one for a long time!

[@Robfunkel]

Sounds incredible and looks great!

[@TheRimshotDrummer]

Dude! I would have so many drum sets if I had all of that equipment. LOL You do an amazing job David. Keep it up. I may have to get you to build me a custom snare. Love the channel.

[@kyblitz8093]

R David R, he is back, he is R saviour.

[@AndrewEwing1995]

the snare drum sounds fantastic

[@sonnycapolupo]

[@MirkkoDeMaio]

[@MrCaseymetallic]

[@mohdamiruddinsulaiman1383]

Creating your own snare? Hell yeah!

[@crankysports]

sounds really good!

[@gianni1461]

Masterpiece!!

[@theavenger3363]

Fabulous job 👍👍👍

[@mini_pigs862]

Keep up the videos man, good job

[@walterthorne4819]

Wow beautiful

[@iQuincyboy]

Awesome drum! Glad to finally see it assembled. Could you make a comparison of triple-flanged vs. die-cast hoops on it? Would be great. Cheers!

[@rinydouma4812]

I've been waiting soooo long for this video!

[@kathyraouf6957]

Beautiful

[@ianrosales4390]

Great videos bro. Subscribed all the way from the philippines.

[@NathanaNobody]

[@ARDrummer]

Very cool build! Looks and sounds great!

[@rdavidr]

Thanks!

[@ARDrummer]

You're welcome! Great channel/content :)

[@wallyordona159]

Nice work!

[@samuliauno8163]

Very controlled top end on this one, also quite little low end, taking into account that it's a 7". Not something I've heard before, nice work as always! It looks absolutely stunning ofc. I'd go with loose or mid setting on snares!

[@rdavidr]

yeah its the head, def gotta switch it out. it was my first time using the p77

[@palmerdangerfield]

thats a boss snare! keep makeing good vids!

[@White-sl3jf]

That thing is stunning! you vids are great;)

[@AntiBOtix]

That is one helluva air vent 👌🏻

[@caladam2221]

he protec he attac but most importantly daddy dave is back

[@wep5906]

I have one similar. 6x5x14, 5/16 thick but no re rings. ash and walnut. I used Danish oil to finish to keep it more natural. Try that next time. Great job and it sounds great!

[@FootyEmpire]

Nice video and great snare!

[@hamonthecob]

Dude this is soooooo dope!

[@terrydonegan1622]

Great drum
