Making a Cowbell

[@Parasietamol]

00:00 First thing you need to make a cowbell: a cowbell

[@GilbsonL5]

hahahahahaha!

[@Problematicarsehole2728]

Nice! Your comedy just made my day, bruv!

[@timocrosby]

So true. He should have labeled the video "copying a cowbell"

[@joeshmoe7967]

When you first demoed, I thought you painted it black, thought it sounded OK. Then you swapped out for the one you actually made and it sounded pretty good, different but equally as good as the store bought. I came to the video because I can't find my old cowbell, looked into buying new one....Prices have gone up! I thought maybe I could make one, probably find a youtube video, and here I am! I may make a few, trying different gauges and profiles. Cool project - Cheers

[@jamessquirrell1257]

I love the fact that the homemade one has more of a light ring to it and it sounds different to the old one. Awesome!

[@georgesantana8190]

Wow, i must admit, the one you made sounds way better than the original one... looks like you can take them out of business... lol. . Very good job

[@rdavidr]

george Santana hmm, that is a possibility.... haha

[@dereckkami8200]

Amen!

[@mikayunusbergersahbaz9730]

could agree more... the metallic sound it makes when you hit it on its side is brilliant!

[@sm1leycanadian]

In my opinion the homemade cowbell sounds much clearer and crisper

[@musicmode6657]

t h a t s w h a t s h e s a i d

[@elephantgrass631]

Not. It's envelope is too long for salsa music. The overtones don't resonate well. LP bells are precision made and is probably why they sound consistent. This guy did a great job making a bell in general, but not a latin bell.

[@BanBanChi]

In 1999 I went to the place where LP has their cowbells made in Bergen County NJ. Half of the shop makes metal liners for coffins and the leftover pieces of sheet metal are used for cowbells.

[@XR650Max]

Great job!!! Thats a beautiful cowbell, I really enjoy watching your DIY vids. Keep up the awesome work :D

[@bonguitoloco76]

you know why sounds better ??? it was made with LOVE!!!! nice video!! I wish I know how to weld.... I would be making cowbells all day!!!! Keychains (mini ones), Doorstoppers, Cheese graters (Lol), paper weights, and manymore!!!

[@jerqrokr]

0:43 that slow-mo some how made me laugh

[@federicomartinez1154]

jerqrokr It was like: damn that cowbell is sexy ..

[@tdrum21]

Sounds great. Very cool. The song sounds like a Funkadelic guitar solo....Diggin it!

[@Samppa85]

Brighter and better sound in a self-made Cowbell👍🏻

[@gnarhound]

Dude!!!! The homemade one is a salsa party in my ears and I wanna jump up and dance compared to the store bought whack one

[@lancesteger566]

Paint it Gold!

[@Tom_Emody]

rockin beat bro! nice work on the bell... i dig your energy....Tom

[@ACLOCKWORKDRUMMER]

U HAVE ALOT OF TALENT..I FEEL U COULD MAKE GREAT PERCUSSION,DRUMS AND STICKS!!!

[@FretsNirvana]

Good one! Could you expain your hardening process this this?

[@metalizer135]

I was watching in the dark and 2:19 burnt my eyes! Coll video though.

[@lane2376]

Wow I really love the sound of the one you made. I mean, they both sound good, but the high pitched overtones of the LP is the kind of thing that drives me insane. I like a cowbell with a quick decay.

[@rodelbagamasbad2190]

Much better than lp...great video

[@demonicsweaters]

you are one crafty dude, nice job!

[@CarlosRochaMusic]

Sir, you just got yourself one more subscriber.

[@Aia20131tbloes]

Thanks for sharing!!! Im a fan from Brazil, you rock brow

[@LanceCampeau]

Awesome video... The music?

[@federicomartinez1154]

LanceCampeau "links" search it on soundcloud: "silent dave".

[@orangej552]

I prefer the one you made, it sounds brighter

[@ChefBrownSauce]

The homemade one sounds so much better

[@DMarkAgostinelli]

Wow, I really like the sound of the one you made. It sounds smoother than the commercial one. You should make a few different sizes and play all of them. Does it dent easily ? You did a good job. BTW. I have never left a review before on anyone's videos. I've been watching KZbin for years. You got me to write my first review, just to praise you ! Good job! Lol

[@SirDrillAlot21]

Very satisfying to watch 👍🏾

[@dcallesa]

both sound good but I liked the one you made more, is lower pitched.

[@AndrewEwing1995]

For a homemade cowbell, i say that sound pretty good

[@bandaancha59]

Yeah great work dude !

[@ECL88]

Hello friend, could you tell me the thickness of the sheet or sheet? thanks greetings from Argentina

[@joshuaestrada6042]

Great cowbell

[@vernonsteinkamp1088]

I never thought if you as a metal Smith, but that's innovative. For $39, I wouldn't bother making one, unless you really like building stuff.

[@ericksotogonzalez3203]

hola hermano quiero saber de donde sacas esas instrumentales musicales de rap en tus videos suenan geniales me gustan tus videos suerte y saludos

[@darlenehoover6577]

Dat tune 😎👍

[@J19_vlogger74]

1:11 little did that fan know what it would it would soon become

[@redredblood1]

Love your videos, David! Have you ever hurt yourself really badly while attempting a DIY percussion instrument? Cutting, burning or anything by accident?

[@autrytom]

Has more of a ring unpainted?

[@coconutcolin]

Do you have the actual template still from when you laid this out? I neeeeed it. I dont want to cut apart a cowbell to make one,.

[@Eisenbahnpatrouille]

Not enough cowbell! More COWBELLS!!

[@BullyDawg84]

Sounds better then the bought one

[@ajgnexus]

damn I dig the music in this video

[@DeadKoby]

I got a fever....... hope you had fun making it.

[@jaxv94]

[@NicholasSchlesinger]

Great video, dude. That one should come with an epilepsy warning though, ha ha! Keep up the awesome work. X

[@mrvaibhavvsr]

@rdavidr Thanks for the video, it's great. What type of welding do you use? It seems to be MIG.

[@adityasharma5045]

Yes, please tell. I would also like to know that.

[@artur599]

how many millimeters is this steel sheet?

[@DAGDRUM53]

If Bonzo were alive he'd be a subscriber. Another watchable interesting production whether the viewer is a musician or not. Or adult or child for that matter, the photography alone would captivate very young kids. The finished product sounded exactly like a cowbell, mission accomplished, paint it radioactive orange. Your mounting idea was clever although I must voice concern about uncommon stress and wear and tear on the bass drum rim. Knowing you, Dave, you probably have rack and stand mount configurations as well. And just when I think I've seen you reach the bottom of your bag of tricks you break out a fucking welder.

[@ajgnexus]

this beat goes hard

[@kenjividaurecuribanco6099]

Amigo k tipo de soldadura le metes para soldar

[@damianwinterstein2697]

Here I am making one to ring in peoples ears at ball games 😁

[@isseiuchida]

What kind of metal is this?

[@ToJestemJa100]

The homemade one has this strange sound that sounds like barking dog XD Still nice job!

[@naturalrhythm7597]

Could you please provide some rough dimensions? There are no cowbells within 50 miles to take measurements from. Thanx. RK

[@rdavidr]

I made a rough sketch, idk if the link will work in the comments, but I put it in the description also. Happy cowbelling! i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah95/rdavidr/IMG_5658_zpsamwdwyzy.jpg?t=1423958058

[@WhirlwindDrums]

2:19 - 2:30 Prepare for the seizure procedure

[@tagusan8999]

Hmmm... Needs more cowbell.

[@Zantrop64]

Tagu San it is the only prescription

[@Problematicarsehole2728]

Why did Walken visit his doctor? He needed a prescription for more cowbell!

[@joeruggiero59]

Have u ever thought of making another cowbell but hand hammering it

[@juit68old15]

what is the name of the music i cant find it.

[@fiends8908]

How did you make the handle?

[@benbosler6516]

You should put some rivets in a cowbell

[@AntonioPortnyagin]

Why U didn't paint it?

[@DJLilPelon]

How much would you charge to make one?

[@libraduno1]

TODO UN PROFESIONAL

[@cucoelcocodrilo]

[@rocknrollmichelle]

Gotta have more cowbell :)

[@ПавелПопов-ж7ч]

Nice job)

[@andressdavid5725]

[@GinoValsaint]

[@fogledrummer9258]

[@Agustin_sánchez666]

Awesome +rdavidr

[@rachel_v_k]

Nice!😁

[@TheLoudHawkMusic]

The tone really is irrelevant, it sounds great, more tones, more cowbells = great job on this!

[@smashrhythm]

This song is BA is this original stuff?

[@guillermoandressoldadosold2598]

qe material tiene qe ser

[@charliethepro7721]

Needs even more cowbell

[@Ma-ttga]

I like the original one better. I think it sounds cleaner. But you got some skills, you could try other metals.

[@mitchellmitchell6938]

Awesome

[@raihanjanitra4569]

wow.. the different is just the lower pitch. creative as f*ck hahaha

[@pompouskatfish5402]

*PLEASE NOTE* If you have epilepsy, DO NOT watch this video.

[@davidjames9935]

Where are the cows?

[@xjspike]

that's a great video.

[@rdavidr]

thanks! I really enjoy your projects and videos as well!

[@xjspike]

Thank you. I try and check out most of my subscribers when they come in. but I just found out that once in a while my email gets kicked to another folder. So I'm getting caught up today. I'm glad I am. Ill enjoy your channel.

[@quiknature]

[@jaxv94]

[@1Dougloid]

This is really swell.

[@Kitsune5552]

Needs more cowbell

[@thornwarbler]

[@jonnetrommisk7058]

If you paint it Black the paint will choke the overtone

[@mistagrove4349]

now put yellow and red stripes on it🐄😂

[@utterdisaster603]

Christopher Walken would aprove

[@shrew4592]

the homemade cowbell sorta sounds like a dog barking-ish... anyone else agree?

[@fabianernestopacheco]

You're a fucking genius! B-)

[@artur599]

🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝

[@cashmoney7497]

I did like it better than the store bought. But that ringing at the end I don't like

[@ShimRock]

haha. Nice fucking work... It sounds good. Acceptable

[@nolanberolling]

1000th like

[@mentalitydesignvideo]

But shouldn't you start with a cow?

[@dereckkami8200]

Why the sexy interpretive dance music?

[@timocrosby]

You should have labeled the video "copying a cowbell" not "making a cowbell"

[@VICTORNLB]
