Thrift Store Drumming Challenge - David Raouf

Faster Hands & Feet (in 10 days)
► www.Drumeo.com/faster/
Have you ever seen a grown man play an abacus like a shaker? Neither had we…but we’re glad we’ve seen it now.
David Raouf (aka rdavidr on KZbin) wants to challenge you to create some unusual and awesome sounds using only items you found at a thrift store.
You can buy whatever you want at a music store, but at the end of the day, a shaker is a shaker and a tambourine is a tambourine. At a thrift store, you can find knick knacks or unconventional ‘non instruments’ to become percussive sound sources. Whether you mount something to a stand as its own piece or you add it to a cymbal or tom to give it some new flair, you never know what kind of new sounds might inspire your playing.
David recommends looking for random metal objects (like dog bowls, pot lids, or even a door handle) or wood pieces (like cutting boards, an abacus, or a random wooden alligator), but you can choose whatever you want. If it doesn’t already have a hole in it, make sure you have a drill with a 1 inch bit handy.
For more awesome DIY drum experiments, hacks and projects, check out David’s KZbin channel!

Yo, no joke I thought that dude was carrying a kid in that bag at 0:55 😯

[@josegarza7428]

Lmao Same

[@russ6541]

Oh dang

[@maccheeselover4974]

rdavidr same I was looking through the comments trying to find this exact comment

[@melodicbeats1758]

Me too 😂😂😂😂

[@MiguelOliveira-mr4dv]

Its not a kid, its just a jacket and a cap xD

[@dafi723]

I see RdavidR I press like!

[@willichou5862]

Saame!

[@adamalexanderray]

The abacus had me in stitches. Drummers already get teased enough as it is, pulling that out at a gig would be hilarious.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

We're geniuses. But no one ever understands. Especially not lead guitarists!

[@funkdrummer]

these are items to be pulled out for studio recordings, IMHO

[@benmikell1313]

No one: rdavidr: "Who woulda thought a dog bowl on a floor tom taped to a door handle plate would sound like that?"

[@rdavidr]

😂

[@dorkster3577]

rdavidr thats a brand new sentence right there

[@garrettanderson2452]

That’s just insane

[@basi-vega35]

Lololol if I was an employee there, I would be like,"WTF is that guy doing?"

[@Valhalen716]

Basi C-Vega lol Maybe they’re used to it by now!

[@JonneDrums]

Is there white lithium grease involved? Else i won’t approve

[@rdavidr]

Thats coming later ;)

[@jermss_]

🤣🤣

[@derreckossas4951]

Gotta love dave🥁

[@joshbuckwalter3293]

The homie made it on drumeo! Congrats dave

[@davidmcaninch4714]

I never thought that I would see you on Drumeo

[@whocares9053]

10:26 - when you select a League of Legends Character and hit confirm

[@etz_oren]

ra-oof

[@TonyMacaroni69_]

Oof

[@devinbuchhorn]

What the hell is going on with this drum mix??

[@donsak111]

Phase issue on the bass drum mics? Sounds awkward

[@andrewgoulson]

Kick wayyyy too loud

[@BoogieWoogieCat]

David has one of the most interesting and unique drum related youtube channels ever.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Those bowls would sound good with some *_PLATE_* reverb on...

[@mrmisfit635]

Haha you got it!

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

1:50 a little pricey... haha. Enjoyed it David!

[@rdavidr]

Thanks man!

[@serpentstudios7768]

You've made it, breathtaking move David!

[@jdogmcnasty1980]

Zildjian has a ZilBell for like $100....or get a $3 bowl 👍🏻

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

or cut out the bell of a cracked cymbal, or cheap ride.

[@jakeseitz]

It’ll be a ZilBowl

[@djentlover]

Only difference, the bowl will sound better

[@Hennu_TRM]

I have often thought that drumming is just hitting stuff with sticks and it shouldn't be so complicated and expensive... I think you really captured that.

[@BSDrumming]

This is the most ridiculous drumeo I've seen LOL.. and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@josteinv.jordet257]

I have never seen him on this good cam quality! Great! Now i can study his beard!

[@mrmisfit635]

What an awesome beard

[@josteinv.jordet257]

@@mrmisfit635 yeah, thats what i thought too, happy new year🥳

[@mrmisfit635]

@@josteinv.jordet257 Happy New Year😃✌

[@magrildz]

What I like about rdavidr is how he made me change the way I saw drums and drumming. He kinda brought my diy side back and I completely revolutionized the way I play and understand my drums.

[@red007lp]

Congrats David on making it to Drumeo! Be proud about yourself and keep up the good work!

[@e-tube3155]

Who else came here from "$10 thrift store snare"

[@simonepedata2379]

david be like: oh look oxygen that might sound lit 🔥

[@russbradshawmusic]

It's cool to see so much personality out of David. You don't see that much of his personality in his own videos although they are still great videos.

[@leontroha1648]

11:04 doin' some 360's

[@joshmillerdrum9249]

This is by far my favorite drumeo vid yet. Love Dave's stuff.

[@colh.3779]

13:10 my mind went straight to the Paiste Rude cymbal lineup 😂 Worth about the same in my books

[@thijs199]

Yeah, this is cool, I'm going to look for stuff to hit on. Bowls, handles, females.

[@RADSQUID123]

Hey dude, watch your mouth. What did bowls or handles ever do to you?

[@JulianFernandez]

RdavidR. Coolest YT personality of 2019. Hands down.

[@tayewalker1129]

Hearing his last name makes me uncomfortable

[@Casquillo8520]

Boy is in da House! 🔥

[@d.ar_i.o]

rdavidr, the only person on this earth who would exchange the best cymbals in the world for some 3$ metal bowls 😂

[@nickferrence8593]

Awesome video Dave. You're always surprising everyone with cool new inexpensive sounds. Cheers

[@Psymon1471]

This makes me think of Gene Hoglan playing in Death with the propeller 'splash'

[@RorRiiZzLE]

That was definitely Jared with the dad “incredibowl” joke.

[@cagilundar]

Wow, I've got the same abacus, I've never thought I could use it as shaker. I'll start to use it as soon as I learn to count to 100. Cool video! My man rdavidr is a very good drummer, listener and an absolutely high skilled crafter.

[@joemo1033]

0:44 Make shirts that say "What cool is that?" Then the image is a tee shirt on a piano.

[@jonnylehmann]

Does his kick sound weird to anyone else?

[@christthight4976]

Not that bad , but the snare....remember St-Anger!!

[@izzyluthfil]

is it just me or rdavidr looks like chino from Deftones here 🤧

[@MeesBoterkoek]

Oh hello I know you

[@ForestRainMedia]

Duct tapes the literal trash stack to the dog bowl while wearing a flannel jacket. Are you sure this isn't The Red Green Show?

[@SignatureDrum]

I been doing this for years! So awesome to see David on here (congrats!) spreading the idea of unique creative sounds from the thrift! :)

[@midgarr30]

Great video. It’s a lot of fun experimenting. Here are a few I’ve tried that sound great (imo): -Aluminum water bottles (opened, several lined up glued to a wood board) -Cookie tin with a little foam taped to the inside -An iPhone/smartphone box (original packaging), filled with dried beans or legos -PVC piping (add an elbow or two and diameter adapters for larger sizes) -Lid to a small charcoal bbq (12-14”)

[@grunge2012]

the alligator sounded the best tho. latin guiro smh

[@BLTspace]

Love it. David is great. From dumpster diving to refinishing to ebay hunting etc. His channel is a literal drum workshop. It's cool you guys got him in here seriously.

[@davormaplenik2776]

Don't show this video to Jared, he'll have a heart attack watching David scraping his drums

[@jaspercadwallader7459]

Bruh

[@jdiaz4877]

This is so cringe I LOVE IT!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mrmisfit635]

David, you have the courage to do what i won't!

[@pitchfolkmedia916]

Seeing RDavidR everywhere now! Is he playing drums for Marcus King Band now too?

[@acoolbandname3726]

8:08 MY NAME IS MUD

[@daneelhewitt5452]

Yesssssssss Yessssssssssss Yessssssssss

[@WarrenPostma]

I saw the title and thought, he's gonna get a kids drum kit discarded at the Salvation Army and play it. This was actually even better.

[@Catinthehackmatrix]

I know it's only drum hacks, but fingers get chopped off and things fly into eyeballs, but you won't find that at the Thrifty store. I used to use bench buffing grinder on cymbals, it would get dangerous!

[@UserNameNiemand]

Shrink tube would be better choice for hot rod type thing )

[@remygaron8311]

I cannot believe your buying crap your losing your focus witch is drum not crap😱😱😱😱😤😤😤🥀🥀🥀🥁🥁🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@jt_mallett_ii]

1:48 david: "$4.00 a little pricey." Me: my guy you guy AT LEAST one meinl Bysance cymbal worth at least $250 each🤔

[@omarcortes5754]

I'm gonna pop some tags Only got twenty dollars in my pocket I'm, I'm, I'm hunting, looking for a come up This is fucking awesome.

[@hewystudio7832]

That last one he played reminds me of these drumsticks I had back in the day that were ribbed for your pleasure. I’d play it the same way on the rims, pretty cool.

[@TsunamiBeefPies]

Put some water in those dog bowls, find a way to let them ring, and move the water around--you've got a budget store water gong!

[@joerico9461]

Dude there actually is a pair of sticks made out of bamboo kind of like that. Not sure what you call them I just remember seeing them somewhere

[@markcatanzaro9699]

WTH? Value Village MY ASS! $4 for a random 8 inch pot lid? Change the name of that store to Rip off Row!

[@tambourini]

Thanks! I'm still a beginner & without a proper kit! This gives me ideas... Loving the 'accident' with the bowl bouncing around on the tom!

[@davidmartinezbragado4598]

Is the crock ok?

[@boristomakic5995]

He is a bit clumsy, isn't he? Didn't get that impression from his videos...anyway great stuff

[@orrenlane]

i saw the thumbnail in my subscriptions and thought this was an rdavidr video

[@the6ig6adwolf]

I can't believe you had rdavidr in a thrift store and didn't even look through the plaid shirts. For shame.

[@isaiahsmith5435]

I think it would've been cool to take that door handle and cut it into four pieces to make a ribbon crasher stack

[@DrummerGrrrl]

David, I bet a wok would sound bad ass! Or a cookie sheet that you hammered a bit like a cymbal?

[@patdeniston3697]

You definitely are crafty Ruined my shopping now Gonna take forever

[@TonyMacaroni69_]

Finally!

[@eugeneagustin1567]

Yo

[@Tom-sd2vi]

What a bunch of crap. You have an amazing sounding kit, get rid of the crap lol :p

[@andrew_arden]

I want David Raouf guys the gear and Scott Pellegrom to play the beats.

[@nested_King]

Wilco

[@jakeseitz]

Those have got to be the driest crashes I’ve ever heard 😂

[@musicman1337]

I need a new drum set which one? Tama imperial star or Ludwig Element evolution

[@andrewgoulson]

The only thing that MIGHT have worked was the door handle plate. That had a cool vibe

[@frankiebluethgen4291]

hes trying so hard to act like it doesnt sound like ass, still gotta support my boi rdavid r tho

[@joesho1245]

Did anyone hear sympathy for the devil in the background at the thrift store

[@skyerobinson5756]

David Ra-OOF

[@JMRSplatt]

Weird metal bowls??... What do.. AH! 6/8 latin! Perfect!

[@rubenspoolder3567]

I am actually genuinely proud that David is on Drumeo! You go, man!

[@makidavid1503]

that gator on a kick pedal or highhat stand floppin around might sound sick

[@KristianNowak]

0:45 NO WAY THAT VALUE VILLAGE IS IN ABBOTSFORD IN CANADA I GO THERE A LOT!!!!

[@Hubson55]

that "scraper beat" sounds like a cartoon character sneaking up 🤣

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

You could attach the Abakus to the hihat as awsome kind of shaker. 🧮

[@wavyboysean9433]

Rdavisr I am still currently building my dream drum set Ludwig

[@funkdrummer]

missed out on the incredi-bowl stacker and dog bowl stacker

[@ZFG1467]

Love you Dave, this is hands down the spiciest video in drumeo

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

Pot lid was the best of all, and cheap, and yet you passed on it???

[@erikbarrett85]

Hope you didn't lose that poor little drum key 😭 9:45

[@Puckrocker]

Getting Primus vibes from the zany sounds

[@jimmygriswold9258]

Rdavidr is always thinking outside the box!

[@bobstar76]

$30 of shit to trash your already good kit with....

[@Xcamj_larsX]

I’m sorry but that kick drum sounds horrible

[@nickzottola]

Those bowls sound like some trippy Tool drum beat

[@craigbrowning9448]

Automotive Brake Drums from Junk Yard.

[@xandermijares342]

Love this David! So creative!

[@andrewwarrendrums8969]

Awesome video!!
