IG: 🤍 Drums stems and mixes for this video available on Patreon: 🤍 Music used (background & playalongs) 🤍 After checking out a bunch of weird cymbals, I figured it would be worth a shot looking at some prototype cymbals. Not all prototypes make it into production so maybe there are some hidden gems that us drummers have been missing out on this whole time, or maybe theres some that are too weird and should never be heard by a human ear. The cymbals in this video are from Zildjian, Sabian, Bosphorus, and Saluda. These were the only prototypes I was able to get my hands on in the time frame I had, but there are countless other prototypes out there, so this is just a small sampling. I Found A Bunch Of PROTOTYPE Cymbals!

Well a year later, I finally found a Sonor S Classix Birch that was worthy of checking out. Where I live you dont see too many people with Sonors and rarely do you see them come up for sale. As soon as I heard an S Classix Birch (Scandinavian birch to be exacpt) kit came into Sam Ash I went to check it out. Turns out there was a Sonor Jungle snare too! I still needed a "real" snare so I borrowed Bryce's 13x5.75 Benny Greb snare. These drums sound incredible, tuned up super easy, and recorded like a dream. Easily one of the best sounding kits I've come across! The S Classix line has kinda been forgotten about and replaced with newer lines from Sonor, but when it comes to this kit vs my DW Collectors, the Sonor takes the cake. No questions asked. Also this wasnt the most expensive drum set tbh. Of course I bought it used, but it was WAYYY LESS than that DW. I FINALLY Bought a SONOR Drum Set!
IG: 🤍 Support on Patreon: 🤍 Major thanks to Steve Weiss Music for Roto-Toms! 🤍 Also big thanks to Dave Witte for coming by to rip some double bass on this beast! Music used (background & playalongs) 🤍 Roto Toms have definitely fallen off when it comes to the, modern drum sound. Most of the time roto toms are used as an add on to a normal kit. But the people over at Steve Weiss and myself wanted to see what a full drum set made of roto toms would sound like, including the snare and bass drums. This is an 11 piece double bass roto tom drum set, with 2 18" roto toms as the bass drums. We also made up a set of 16" hihats out of 2 Steve Weiss cymbals. Definitely a weird drum set for sure!

So to fulfill my quest of playing every drum set that exists, its finally time I change that! In this drum set review were taking a look at a Premier Genista 100SE and is one of a few kits released for their 100 year anniversary. Birch shells, undersized tom shells for clarity of tone and ease of tuning, and a vintage inspired red tri-band lacquer finish. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this kit SCREAMS quality. The hardware is beefy and the shells and edges are as smooth as can be. The level of detail put in this kit is shocking. I've been sleeping on Premier for sure! The stock Remo (Taiwan) drum heads were used in the demo. A port hole was cut in the reso side bass drum and 2 t-shirts and a hoodie were used a muffling. A small piece of gaff tape was used on the batter side of the snare drum to cut a bit of the overtones. I DID NOT Expect This Drum Set To Sound This Good! - $2,600 Premier Genista 100SE Drum Set

This is something I wanted to figure out after asking if I could make a kids drum set sound good. I wanted to see how much money it took to upgrade a used drum kit I found on craigslist. The kit is a basic beginner drum set you would find at any music store. It's a Sound Percussion Labs kit and came with the stock snare drum and Agazarian cymbals. I started off with tuning the stock heads, then replacing them with new heads and upgrading the cymbals a few times. Pretty simple to do, but kinda pricey!

A couple years ago I built a suitcase drum set, but never was that happy with it. So today Im redeeming myself! I found a suitcase on facebook marketplace, used a bunch of drum set hardware, built some custom toms out of some drum shell scraps, threw some cymbals on it and bam, instant drum set that fits in a suitcase! I think it came out a lot better and sounds better than the original. Also much more fun than a cajon! I Built a BETTER Suitcase Drum Set!
IG: 🤍 Support on Patreon: 🤍 Music used (background & playalongs) 🤍 Cymbals: 0:00 24" Creative Percussion Steel FX Ride Cymbal 1:31 18" Sabian Rocktagon Hihats 3:22 11" Wuhan Linear Splash 4:57 Sabian V-Wave FX 6:43 18" Masterworks Blank Crash (my favorite of the bunch) Yet again we're looking at some weird cymbals! We have some steel cymbals, some geometric cymbals, some weird wavy cymbals, and some blank cymbals. The 24" Creative Percussion FX Ride Cymbal is made of steel and is fully hammered. This thing is BEYOND DRY, dare I say the driest cymbal ever. It look cool at-least, you don't see too many blue cymbals out there... The Sabian Rocktagon is a cymbal we looked at in the past, but I found another! What do you do when you have two 18" Rocktagons? Make a set of weird hihats of course! These things are LOUD! Not the most musical, but have a cool sound unlike any other hihats out there. Similar to the Rocktagon, next we have the Wuhan Linear splash. This is a 5 sided 11" splash cymbal. its pretty bright and trashy and would be one of the least weird cymbals sound wise. I would love to find a larger Wuhan Linear cymbal, but the 11" was all I could find. Like death metal rides? Hate how big and heavy they are? Try the Sabian V-Wave! I dont even know how to describe this "cymbal." Its a big rectangular plate that has a swoopy do bent in it. Its super thick, really bright and has the sound quality of a dinner bell that the pioneers would use in the early 1800s. My favorite cymbal would have to be the 18" Masterworks Blank Crash. Usually cymbal blanks sound raw, dry, and quiet. The Masterworks cymbal is the total opposite! Its bright, splashy, trashy, and explosive all while having a quick decay. Making it the perfect crash cymbal in my book! Buying MORE of the WEIRDEST Cymbals I Could Find

This is a slightly weird drum set since all you do is turn a single wing nut to tune the entire drum. Seems kinda gimmicky, but let me tell you, this kit sounds incredible and is SO EASY to get sounding good at any tuning. You can tune these SO LOW and still have tone because there is such even pressure around the heads. By far the most fun I've had playing a 4 piece drum set. Also that snare is money! I was skeptical since the system tunes the top and bottom head at the same time, similar to an old single tension drum, but the snare sounded killer at all tunings. This would be a great kit for a home studio, pit orchestra, or any gig where you have to change tunings on the fly. The WEIRDEST way to Tune a Drum Set

I thought the Impact drum set I bought a couple weeks ago was the weirdest, but no! North Drums definitely take that title! Sure enough after I talk about North Drums in the Impact drum kit video, this one comes up for sale at a local music store. That means I was forced to buy it... Or well, I forced myself to lol. North Drums are fiberglass shells that feature a horn bell on the resonant side to amplify the sound. These drums are LOUD! The kit came with a bunch of goodies like a Gibraltar curved rack with DW clamps and tom arms plus the original North rack. The original rack would work a little better than the more modern Gibraltar since the curve is tighter and the legs dont extent past the cross bar. The 4 rack toms barely fit in-between the Gibraltar legs, but I was able to make it work! Okay... THIS is the WEIRDEST Drum Set

As far as the current drum market goes, this is the cheapest acrylic drum set out you can buy new, unless you buy directly from Chinese manufactures on alibaba. Fun fact: I found one of these exact bass drums on there, but not the full kit. Anyways, the kit is cool, the quality is about what you would expect. They sell this as a full drum set configuration with hardware, cymbals, and of course the drums. It would be nice if they offered it as just a shell pack since at the over $1,000 price point, most people in the market for kit aren't looking for a drum kit that comes with mediocre cymbals, pedals, cymbal stands, and throne. Also, that would lower the price to a point most people would be more comfortable buying at. So whiles its the cheapest acrylic drum set, im not sure I would consider it a beginner drum set. But hey, what do I know. If you made it this far, Wal-mart currently has this kit on sale for $900 The CHEAPEST Acrylic Drum Set You Can Buy!

I'm always up for a challenge so I took a video of how the kit was tuned and tried to tune my kit the same way. The kit I used is a Pearl Session Studio Select which has 4 plies of birch and 2 inner plies of mahogany. The kit I was referencing has 4 plies of maple and 2 inner plies of gum, plus slightly different hardware. Thankfully the 2 kits are the same thickness shells (5.4mm) and both have an outer 60 degree bearing edges. I used the same drum heads, but keep in mind there a ton of other variable that come in to play. This was a fun challenge for my ears! Tuning Mid-Level Drum Set to Sound like a PRO-LEVEL Drum Set

We tested some weird tictok drum hacks last time, so I decided to take us back a couple decades. Most of these have been forgotten about over time, but some actually work really well. "Vibra-Fibing," or the process of adding fiberglass to the inside of a drum shell is something that was done to make drums more reflective and add resonance. Neil Peart, drummer of RUSH, had a couple this done to a couple of his drum sets back in the day, so I really wanted to give this one a shot. Speaking of resonance, theres a rumor that John Bonham, drummer of Led Zeppelin, lined his bass drum with aluminum foil. No one really knows if did this or not, or even the purpose, but this hack really tightened up the kick drum and made it less "tubey." Broken cymbals are all too common. One way to repair them is to drill a hole at the end of the crack to stop them from spreading. Unfortunately this is just a temporary fix as the cracks will most likely spread. Ringo Starr, drummer for The Beatles, is famously known for putting tea towels on his drums to mute, muffle, and dampen them to get a more dead sound. And finally, I had to test putting a piece of wood underneath your snare drum to see if it makes it more responsive/louder/snarier. This one didnt seem to do much... Testing OLD SCHOOL Drum Hacks

Sometimes they blow your mind and sometimes they kinda, sorta, barely work. Either way, these are some that I've been wanting to try out for awhile now. First is something DW told me to do to my drum set. Dom Lombardi, founder of DW Drums, shows us that flipping over your floor tom legs reduces the sustain of the drum. Kinda funny because DW's whole thing is about the tone/sustain of their shells. Anyways... another classic trick made famous by Simon Phillips is sticking a paint can in your kick drum to tighten up the sound. There was a very subtle difference with it in vs out, but it does tighten up the sound! Sounds Like A Drum is a great channel on YouTube that talks about all the nerdy stuff that drummers think about. They did an episode on some cheap and easy drum hacks and one that stuck with me was about a product used for making bass drum hoop protectors. Out of all the stuff I've tried for hoop protectors there solution is by far the easiest/cheapest/most effective way to add one to your drum! Man, I didn't realize how much bass drum stuff was in this episode. Oh well, on my visit to Drumeo we filmed a video about 25 drum hacks and one thing I talked about was adding a felt pad to a wooden beater to change its sound. I would suggest finding the softest one you can find since the one I used didn't make the craziest difference. Use the link at the top of the description and sign up for a free month of Drumeo and check out my series called "DIY Drum Experiments." I show that hack there and it worked better for whatever reason. Who cares tho, I doubt you made it this far reading lol. Last on the list is an age old hack about reviving a dented up drum head with a heat gun. Something I talked about in my first testing 5 drum hacks video. Oh the good ole days...

The Clap Stack from Istanbul has definitely caught the attention of a lot of drummers! I figured I would take some old cheap cymbals and make my own. Of course the 2 are completely different but the DIY version still sounds pretty cool and is a cool use of old unused cymbals!

These heads are made of plywood which as you can imagine is a totally different sound than your typical plastic drum heads. By no means are these meant to "replace" normal drum heads, but these wooden drum heads definitely create a unique sound which would be useful for a lot of different genres.

These are basically a bootleg remo pinstripe. If youve been paying attention, these look very similar to the heads that come on the Donner drum sets and Eastar drum sets. Im 99% sure these ARE the heads that come on those drum kits. Theyre very thicc and punchy, but are surprisingly decent drum heads!

Imagine 5 Minute Crafts, but for drums... Ever wanted to complicate your bass drum muffling technique and carry around a bike tire pump? Well you're in luck! But Tiktok drums are kinda interesting too. Just reverse your snare side head if its too worn out and won't tighten up enough. Concert toms are somehow making a comeback, but whats the best way to turn a regular drum into one? Maybe Remo Silentstrokes are the answer? Ringy Snare? Just fill it with silicone! But my favorite by far is using a microphone as a bass drum beater Testing the WEIRDEST Drum Hacks I Could Find

Ben, from the Big Fat Five Podcast, found this on his local Craigslist and as soon as I saw them, I knew I needed them. This is an Impact drum, which there isn’t too much info about them on the internet. Everyone, including myself, seems to quote the same forum post from Jon Bermuda, drummer for Weird Al, whenever referencing these drums. Bermuda endorsed Impact drums for about 20 years and is the only one that seems to know anything about them. Impact drums have a thin fiberglass shell with a large cutaway and frontal sound hole for maximum projection. These definitely are in the weird drums family and give off north drums and staccato drums vibes, even though they are very different. My kit is a little rough around the edges and could use some work… Buying the WEIRDEST Drum Set on Craigslist
IG: 🤍 Support on Patreon: 🤍 Check out zZounds! #ad 🤍 Shoutout to Lukes_Drum_Loot on ig for sending me the Pearl Snare I used in this video: 🤍 Music used (background & playalongs) 🤍 Gear: DW Design Series Clear Acrylic: 🤍 Zildjian Cymbals: 🤍 Tama Hardware: 🤍 Vic Firth Freestyle 5b: 🤍 Not long ago I opened up a Donner acrylic drum set, so I wanted to check out an acrylic drum kit from another brand. This is a DW Design Series Acrylic in clear which is a little more pricey coming in at $2,200. The quality is miles ahead and the shells are different than the Donner acrylic drums. Another thing I wanted to see was how different acrylic shells are from wood shells. Lukes_Drum_Loot on Instagram sent me an old Pearl Free Floating Snare so I ordered an acrylic shell from RCI to swap out and do a wood vs acrylic drums comparison. Not super scientific by any means, but should give you a rough idea! I Got an EXPENSIVE DW Acrylic Drum Set
Help clean up the ocean by donating to 🤍 #teamseas Follow on IG: -🤍 When Mr. Beast and Mark Rober need help spreading the word on Team Seas and cleaning up the ocean, you gotta bring your kit outside and play "The Ocean" next to a creek! "The Ocean" is definitely one of my top 10 Led Zeppelin songs! The drum part is so simple, yet works so well in the song, which is one of the many reasons John Bonham is a such a legend. I typically dont do drum covers, but this was the perfect opportunity to talk about Team Seas. What sucks is I sold my Ludwig Amber Vistalite like a month ago, oh well, the vintage Tama Superstar will do. Just pretend its a Ludwig Thermogloss ;) The snare is a 14"x6.5" Oriollo aluminum shell. 0:00 Team Seas 1:23 Led Zeppelin - The Ocean - Drum Cover Support the channel by using these affiliate links: Recording Gear Used: Interface - Focusrite Solo: -🤍 Overheads - x2 Earthworks SR25s: -🤍 Snare - Shure sm57: -🤍 Kick - Audix D6: -🤍 Knee Mic/2nd interface - Zoom H4n Pro: -🤍 Hosa Edge XLR Cables: -🤍 Cymbals Used: 16" Vintage Zildjian Hats 20" K Cluster Crash: -🤍 22" K Constantinople Renaissance Ride: -🤍 Zildjian Small Bell Raw Crash: -🤍

Some use a gel here and there, but others go all out. So why not just use one giant moon gel instead of 14 little moon gels on one drums? I wanted to see what it would take to first made a giant moon gel, but also what it would sound like on a drum set. Not the most practical of diy projects, but still fun! World's Largest Moongel

I've seen a handful of people make shelves like this out of bass drums before so when Paul from the Drums and Rum Podcast hit me up to make some I was stoked to give it a shot! The 2 open shelves were definitely the easiest but the one with the door that hinges open was a great challenge to figure out! This is a great DIY project that doesnt require much material. Once you have a drum all you need a is a few pieces of plywood for the shelves and youre good to go. We ended up painting these, but you could totally do any finish, veneer, or wrap. And even in the world of woodworking, round things typically arent made, so you could even ditch the whole drum aesthetic and make a modern round shelf. This Used to be a Bass Drum - DIY Drum Shelves!
