[@thedrummererik99]

this is literally the coolest youtube channel ever

[@thedrummererik99]

also i wanna learn that lick you did at the end

[@llman03]

Right lol

[@davidbotkin3895]

Yeah Erik99, I am agreeing 100%.... I just happened to bump into this channel today looking for a cheap pocket type kit I could get used, or a kit I could make out of a crappy used kit using it's16" floor tom for a kick and make a 12" or 13" snare out of one of it's rack toms that I could somehow attach to the homemade kick, slap a handle on it, throw a cheap throne, hat stand and a crash stand w 18" crash/ride into a bag so I don't tear my rotator cuff again schlepping my full kit around like I did 2 weeks ago, I have a feeling rdavidr is my guy, and this is definitely my go to from this point forward, subscribing and SMASHING the like button NOW! That lick at the end was "the business" too! I'll be back!

[@kennethkunie4978]

this guy shares his knowledge and skills about drums. I just can't believe that people comment on dirty finger nails! wtf dirty finger nails are a sign of a working man. this guy goes out of his way to help other drummers and this is the thanks he gets? wtf is wrong with these people. is that all they noticed in this great video? I didn't want to say anything, but someone had to. keep up the great work man.

[@nono-lm7xv]

kenneth kunie ok then😯😐

[@maziu27]

@@nono-lm7xv yes i think you guys should shut the fucking fuck up

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

The people who say this just don’t know how Fingers are looking after hard work .

[@annekedebruyn7797]

Ikr. Dude is literally wood working. No shit his hands get dirty.

[@adrianpadilla1030]

kenneth kunie amen

[@MakeSomething]

that razor blade trick was sugar! Great vid!

[@rdavidr]

Thanks dude!

[@drumfanatik316]

Holy crap that little tool and “hack” to cut the reveal on the bearing edge was brilliant!!! Finished product sounds great!!!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

So awesome dude! Sounds great too!

[@rdavidr]

thanks man! whats up with your little project you were telling me about? 0.o

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

I just got most of the shells! Super stoked.

[@joeyboburka5147]

Looks like the paneling on the ol station wagon. Super 70's. Really diggin it!

[@drew2dee2]

Dave, tell the story of that fabulous reso head

[@famoussaturn3237]

Drum key drill bit is the smartest thing I've ever seen

[@caechez]

it looks absolutely amazing!

[@732Piano]

saw your post on instagram and i knew this video was coming! great video as always dave!

[@alexbond8240]

This is probably the most badass thing I've ever seen

[@chrisfrankdrums]

Thanks for uploading. I needed a good video of cutting bass drums in half very urgent :)

[@Gretschnut]

Great video and that drum really came out nice! The contact wrap actually looks quite good and could be made more durable with a coat of polyurethane. The quick response punchiness is a nice sound and the fluffy reso just adds to it. Are you planning on cutting the rest of that kit down and making a compact travel kit, or was this just a "one-off" kind of project. Especially enjoyed your playing and groove in this video. Well done sir.

[@rdavidr]

Thanks! but I have a a lot of shell cut offs, so ill try to think of something cool to do with them

[@petarpavasovic6333]

Wow, just wow! It looks like Sonor SQ2!

[@arborvitian]

it cracks me up seeing someone else cobble things together using razor blades and blue tape

[@CaalamusTube]

That end segment was awesome! Right on man! :]

[@christopheroppedahl6151]

honestly. for an alternative to repainting this is a really really cool idea!!

[@spike6192]

Wow, you always try to tweak the littlest things in drums. You are good at playing and you are good at making thungs that I can't even thunk of even trying. I respect you and you inspire me to do the things just like you. I am a drummer myself and I respect you

[@drumsNstuff79]

Seeing the narrow depth of that drum reminds of the one with the Pearl Rhythm Traveller kit and makes me think you should do a whole narrow depth travel kit. I see a piccolo snare, short stack toms and floor tom all done in matching wood paper to complete the kit. you could have them stack or nest. You know.. i might do that myself.. off to Craiglist!

[@callummoodley6311]

cool kick.I also enjoyed the demonstration

[@lukedrummermusic9326]

Hey David! This video you made inspired me to do this to my crappy drum kit. Thank you for making the video. My drum kit now looks much better than before.

[@lodougherty]

Excellent video man! Love you work.

[@footnotedrummer]

Great little groove exercise, David! Sounded super cool.

[@Marz5004]

I love your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@alvarocarignanipodesta7882]

You're a genius!. Congratulations!

[@zacksmith7979]

everything you make is so damn dope

[@iisaacbailey]

Am I the only one who loves how the fur/fuzz on the bass drum head vibrates when it plays

[@viridian_meridian]

All that fabric on the res head, plus the short depth, plus burying the beater while playing it. I can imagine that it's not very loud in person. Can it actually hold it's own with the rest of the kit if it's not mic'd up? Probably a really cool kick to pair up with brush/non-stick playing or percussion set-ups, if you wanted to get a punchy sound without huge volume. It does look really badass too.

[@rdavidr]

yeah it blends well with everything in person. A regular reso and maybe an emad would really make this thing sing though.

[@BoxUpMyBones]

If you do this, I'd love to hear it! I've always wanted a shallow kick, myself. More specifically a 24x14. I've got a 24x18 currently, and it's beast. But having that shallow depth would probably give it a TON of attack.

[@Alberpinypon]

Damn it! This weird bass drum looks awesome! You have earned a new subscriber. Greetings from Spain

[@jamesf2918]

Looks/sounds rad!

[@petro062]

I did that 30 years ago with some alum octabons worked great AND the same paper. Funny.

[@MaxwellVideos]

what you kicked into at 11:15 was awesome!!

[@maya60778]

It would be cool to see a whole kit with shallow sized drums.

[@josharthurs6566]

That's a great kick. Looks good and sounds good. Have you considered building a kit around this kick drum. With similar but different contact paper. It would look horrible, but amazing, in an ironic sort of way.

[@jessecortez2676]

Contact paper actually looks pretty good.

[@joelkletke2522]

I build custom cajons for myself and friends. I'm curious what your take would be, keep up the awesome videos!

[@BullyThaKidd]

I'm using the maximum capaci..oh god... Lol great stuff man loved the video

[@Louquillis]

Awesome. Nice work.

[@kanebifftmk]

you are fucking great, contact paper is a great idea, thanks!

[@drummer1196]

You should take all the drums you have ever made with that rap along the drum and form a kit

[@charlie4009]

Nobody: Every rdavidr video: I’ve said this before my drill press stand is tiny so that’s why it’s over the edge

[@ThePurpleVNeck]

That is an amazing looking kick drum! Will we be expecting to see toms at some point? Maybe something similar to the C&C Super Flyer kits? That's the kind of vibe I'm getting with this kick drum

[@Fresh_I.S.C.]

awesome.

[@LoveDrums666]

Good work.

[@jamesmatuszek1]

Wow man, keep playing grooves like that and I'll have to start hassling you for breakdowns of some of those beats! The chop you kick into at 10:45 is B'dass!

[@davidmckenzie7316]

Hey Dave, love your restoration/ repurpose/ DIY vids. I have a suggestion; Have you ever thought about building a nesting travel kit out of an old set? Just sayin'.. Keep up the great videos!

[@Joko515]

dude, you should make a video about making clocks out of old (or even intact) cymbals. I have one that I want to make but the cymbal has to be kept intact. I´m sure many more people would like a video like that :)

[@WWellonk]

jhhoosssss.. linear soo cooll good job

[@randylahey3153]

Yet again proving that a drum only sounds as good as it looks.

[@sfs2064]

Impressive man!

[@mrzink9180]

"And I also used some clamps just in case" *puts like 20 clamps on one small spot*

[@mattc.6526]

This and the 16in snare would probably be the most awkward looking kit ever.

[@niallkeane3794]

Do a video/series on how to clean an entire old drum kit and how to put it back together because that is the bit I'm scared of because then I will have a bit of wood and plastic and not a drum

[@indica1895]

You should make a drumkit out of household objects :)

[@CyberChrist]

The resonant head is just great to show when you hit, what would be your besy way to shiw the bass drum is being hit ?

[@vernonhimes7509]

Very nice

[@Charles-ui4rx]

Very Cool......

[@philipnestor5034]

You're a talented drummer/builder! I'm only good for changing light bulbs!

[@MathewxThexHuman]

Hell ya

[@icemann3d40]

you should make a beater out of a hammer head or the back of a screw driver

[@GeoffBosco]

Would love to do something with my PDP 18X22 BD. I'm not a fan of the 18" deep bass drums, but I don't trust my woodworking skill enough to attempt it myself. lol

[@garybeckman3382]

good job

[@sillymilly311]

love the drum man! not a fan of the carpet head :s lol. Hey, you still have the other half you cut off? you could probably make a pretty sweet gong drum with it!

[@KalaschniKlown]

You should’ve called this “the Piccolo Kick Drum” that would’ve been perfect Other than that, good stuff

[@Mottydrummer]

please finish the whole kit with the same wrap papper and 5 inch depth like a taye go kit

[@dirkayala5812]

Did you dye that shag carpet or find it that way?...Looks pretty cool, effect works!

[@wolfi741]

It looks brilliant, the head is a bit strange haha but class otherwise, absolutely love your videos

[@laughorgomad]

SKILLS! But It would be cool to find a white spiral carpet to continue the "Log" effect on the head instead of the rainbow carpet.

[@rdavidr]

that would be pretty cool actually

[@laughorgomad]

Thanks! Post if you do it.

[@luisshorts303]

im using the maximum capa - oH GoD

[@beetlejews]

You're amazing. How long did this whole process take? Filming, editing and making the drum?

[@spankeyjohnson1489]

and nice kick

[@juanignacioayup]

Excellent video, could you tell me what measures does the kick pizza have?

[@UltraSojabohne]

Hey David, did you learn carpenter, or is the workbench just a hobby? Just curious ;) Love your vids by the way!

[@ancientskies8408]

8:40 I love this song what's it's name? If the song is not yet released it should be, good stuff.

[@justindurand9110]

Don't call us, we'll call you.

[@adamtzsch]

Justin Durand Don't bother.

[@CK-rs7kq]

I Love the sound of the kick, how do you get it to sound like that?

[@Ghostfailure33object27]

I love this idea. I took the wraps off of my drums years ago. I then stained them, but never liked the result. My bass drum is pretty deep and I don't want, nor do I have the tools necessary, to cut it down to a certain size. Where would you recommend getting contact paper that's large enough to cover it's width?

[@christianpitaccio2671]

Love the way the kick sounds. Pinstripe or power stroke 3?

[@rdavidr]

power stroke 3

[@dyoungii3998]

Nice

[@kobeat5247]

sounds fast and short, it's dynamically

[@from.rishab]

I just put some clamps down. Puts 10 clamps

[@sk8vintage791]

Purple Hamburger7 never too many clamps:)

[@bookoftys]

Keep doing drum covers

[@rileygifford7642]

The rack tom sounds like a timbale

[@victorcarrillo8500]

Question that you have probably been asked before but I'm to lazy to find* Where/how did you make that reso bass drum head?

[@chingusdomingus3251]

3:44 And a w HOLE bunch of drilling

[@gingernproud9089]

What kinda no of fabric is it that you put on the head?

[@Avaloctus]

HoW do you get the bearing edges even just by cutting them " by hand" and and applying pressure by feel ?

[@rdavidr]

theres a guide bearing on top of the router bit

[@Avaloctus]

Ah, athnks for answering...now that you mention it I rewatched the video and saw the the guide bearing. By the way,....great channel !

[@juandanieljuarez4975]

is it a 20" bass or 22"

[@gabrielleria4998]

Do you muffle your bass drums?

[@Duocaster]

Where did you get that pizza head?

[@MrShooteX]

I thought it will be a real pizza...

[@jacobdrumsall0642]

How did u get the audience head..I mean the one that looks like a pizza

[@darrenheath8906]

You could have offset the lugs to get a different depth... But love your vids!

[@rdavidr]

I address that in the video

[@LanceCampeau]

Pizza Kick Drum... Bacon hats.... lol.... looks like the "food kit" is coming to life. Love the thump

[@rdavidr]

The sad thing is that I have another food related drum build in the works. Totally unintentional.... grrrr

[@LanceCampeau]

mu ha ha ha... it begins

[@oliverfitzgerald8897]

[@TurtleTurtlez]

sam hyde fanbasee with the spoon beater

[@Mezurashii5]

The first man to have to vacuum a drumhead?

[@ZandrielGrimm]

This gives me an idea. Could you use a pizza PAN as a cymbal?

[@jezusmylord]

OR a pizza.

[@thismanfr]

@@jezusmylord lol my moldy ass cheese out of the freezer

[@decafbountiwack3658]

To be frank, that would probably sound suuuuper trashy, and be a super unique addition. You could also make a cool stack with assorted sizes.

[@elansleazebaganno]

There's no bell so I honestly don't think it would work. It wouldn't really sound trashy, it would sound like shit. Not even like the purposeful dirty, shit sound that trash stack cymbals have, just pure trash, probably not even worth pursuing but who knows maybe it sounds good
