China cymbal, or maybe just one of those kangs, like a splash version of a china.

Take the two small drums off of marching quads and slap em up front

[@hansgrueber8169]

add a pair of 6" pvc octobans of varying length...

Boom.

OMG Both of you answered😭😭😭 Best das of my life haha

Those beats were more punk than metal the last breakdown was more metal though

[@dustinmai6257]

It would be great if you would just get a normal drum kit for me to play David. I get it...you're beard is more manly. You don't have to rub it in by making me play wee drum sets all the time...

Hey Steve.

That snare is disgustingly crisp. I love it

[@OriginalJramion]

And that kick drum had a good, solid thud.

[@TheCymbalProject]

This video perfectly demonstrates why I feel that all the hype about "exotic" wood shells is bunk. Its good heads, good tuning, decent mics, a proper recording environment and strong playing that can make ANY kit sound great.

[@tylerfred7514]

Agreed the only thing I have noticed with the higher end gear is you have more consistency from drum to drum regarding bearing edge and hardware is better, and due to that they will tune easier and more quickly as well as stay in tune longer.

[@StephenTaylorDrums]

100% I'm with you. I've used budget drum sets on many a gig and session...as have all of the session giants in Nashville. It's what you do with what you have.

[@andys3035]

So DW's are way over priced?

[@BDM7]

Well yeah, if you're using mics and recording equipment. You can make buckets sound amazing

[@craigstrickland1572]

Like the aggressiveness. Some Meshuggah on the kit would be hilarious. More cymbals please!!

[@PATHFINDER4001]

Dam, leave it up to you and Stephen to make this kid drum set sound better than my lundwig. 😂😂 awesome video thanks for the laughs

[@StephenTaylorDrums]

Thanks Rick!

[@gzusrlz10]

I got a “First Act” kit for my son a few years back. Not one of those plastic ones, but similar to this kit. After watching some of your vids (like this one), I replaced the heads and symbols and it actually sounds pretty good now. Thanks for the ideas!

[@Lauen]

both of you seemed to really have fun playing that metal part :D

[@ModernBuilds]

9:35 bueno 👌🏼👌🏼

[@cooldrew11]

For real though, the snare kills on that punk/metal riff.

[@BlueTaylor88]

My 4 year old daughter heard the words "barbie doll" and watched till the end. Now she's singing twinkle twinkle little star lol

Thats awesome! haha

[@judecrawford2351]

Day 6 of asking Dave to turn a bass drum into a snare drum

[@okalright3941]

That'd take a lot of snares...

[@madaxe79]

Didn’t Metallica do something kinda similar with the Justice album? Someone said they loosely taped a bunch of coins to the head to act kinda like a snare... not sure if it’s true, just heard it from a drummer somewhere

[@heavymachete6235]

@@madaxe79 its not to be like a snare, its an old trick where you tape quarters to the batter head where the beaters hit, and it makes it sound clicky-er, sorta like a triggered kick sound but not really. vinny paul used this trick alot too i think

Oh God plz

[@StephenTaylorDrums]

Thanks Gary!

[@mikeevans5213]

Awesome... Conducted with such enthusiasm!! Kids will be kids. It will keep you young. Very entertaining!!

[@bmckenzie69]

Proof that some good heads, great mics, and talented drummers can make any kit sound great.

[@jefgirdler7232]

Okay the metal section at the end is a VERY nice breath of fresh air - I could see a kit like this being really compelling for smaller studios or travel kits to minimize how much you have to move for gigs. If my wife (all towering four feet-nine inches of her) ever wants to learn how to play drums, I'm using this video as a blueprint. That kick was surprisingly meaty... all around a great video

[@cherrydrums456]

“Ring the like button” yeaa....

[@footnotedrummer]

I love it when you two collaborate. Fun to watch.

[@lettysharp578]

Never thought I’d see Dave play metal.

the friendship between these two is just magnificent

[@EqDior]

Man you guys did awesome on that kit. Looks super dope!

[@BADD400]

That was a great video. You work well together and are both funny. Love how the kids set sounds. Laughed the whole time.

[@joshbobby]

The fact that earthworks mics magnify the small imperfections in drums, and make good sounding drums sound so natural, but bad sounding drums awful, this video blows my mind! The drums sound so much better than expected!

[@j4k31np41n]

Terrific job! The snare sounds shockingly good.

[@joestarr05]

That's because it wasn't the one that came that kids drum set.

[@mitchinatr7093]

Both of you have such different playing styles I love it. Stephen has such an energetic style, whereas Dave is a lot more groove-oriented, and a killer pocket player!

[@jeromechristianrugas765]

When it comes to your collab vids, you and Stephen is my favorite. You two killin' it everytime.

[@StephenTaylorDrums]

Thanks!

[@famitory]

kids drumsets are a great source of cheap drums. I've got one of those 14" kick drums set up as a rack tom on my kit and it sounds better than the 12" rack tom that came with the real kit

[@alexhill_79]

i dont know why but this is like the 4th time ive watched this. i love ur collabs with Stephen. if you do it again i would love to see u do this again with another kit.

Still better than my kit😂 how about a groove percussion rebuild?

[@GoingHamby]

I'm in the middle of cleaning and vinyl wrapping a kids kit too! It has a 14" kick so I had to find longer legs and I managed to 3d print a bass drum riser, waiting on a black hydraulic for the batter

Where were you guys when I got my kids drumset 20 years ago. I had plastic heads and one cymbal stand sticking out the bass drum lmao.
