Ayyyye this is killer! Looks great!

Great job on the drums also great drummer, so inspiring

Nice work bring this thing back from the dead. The toms sound killer.

Sounds great and clear sound.

Wow! Thank you so much for giving me an idea for my cheap drum set I'm planning to restore it😃😊

SOUNDS FINE GOOD JOB

Youve got it sounding amazing. 👌

Excellent work my man! For someone who hasn't done this a lot, I think you did an incredible job. The kit sounds surprisingly good at the end as well with nice attention to detail with the tuning, so kudos for that. I think a lot of the pain from restoring drum hardware comes from lack of experience- and trust me, we've all been there. If you try to scrub and mechanically remove rust, it can quickly become a mind-numbingly boring experience as you try fruitlessly to weasel your way into all the tiny nooks and crannies where rust normally accumulates. A nice tip is to use a vinegar, Dawn dish soap, Naval jelly, or CLR bath (there are literally 1000's of products that do the same thing, pick your poison) will take care of most of the rust, which leaves just you with just a clean and polish job afterwards. I think the paint job definitely turned out good, at least it looks very nice from the camera. Did you seal the paint with a top coat like polyurethane or lacquer, or was it just paint? My wife and I once restored a shed drum set very similar to this back in 2013 and used some Rustoleum white enamel paint. I can't complain as it worked like a charm, but later I wished I would've put a few coats of poly on, because bare paint can quickly show scuff marks and scratches, should you ever need to throw this kit in the car for a gig. I also think the cymbals ended up looking really good, and its weird how on the recording they actually didn't sound half-bad. Most drummers turn their noses up at those kinds of cheap pies, but they forget that post-production processing in the studio can do A LOT in situations like that. The matching hardware was also an added cherry on top of the pie. I understand why you didn't touch the pedal... and I don't blame you for letting it be. But, if you ever do want to take a crack at fixing it, I have a video going through how I fix pedals from top to bottom here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fL6Gd6eX1dKzfIU.html Thanks again for the concise, well cut, enjoyable video. Hope to see more of your material in the future!

A good drummer can make two rocks sound good together. I got a nineteen sisxty six DeRey trap set that was my first set bought in Tokyo Jp for my sixteenth bithday.

Dope video great playing at the end

Puresound straps are awesome! But you have tu use them the right way: the pin should go between the white sewing lines and all your problems will be gone! Liebe Grüsse Benno Kaiser

with the puresounds, you have the cotter pins in the wrong holes. you need to put the cotter pin in that thin bit that is outlined with white stitching. theyre fantastic straps when used properly.

Great video once again!

Thanks so much to Shawn for the demo at the end and of course to YOU for watching!

That's awesome

Awesome job! Im rebuilding an old 60s/70s japanese kit, i kinda wished id some of that as its been fun, im a big RDavidR fan too, oh hey if you ever get bored with the white paint, its the perfect kit to that paint dip method where you put a bunch of paint on top of a large service of water then dip the drum shells into it, would be really cool

Great job man! I bought an old tama kit that was beat up pretty good,,re wrapped and converted to electronic it was a fun build and was inexpensive to to.

Great vid man, I'm in exactly the same boat, I do guitar repairs but I love drum stuff and I am also thinking of doing some drum repairs! Cool to see someone else thinking the same way!

That's cool joby

THIS GUY IS FIRE

So, I don’t need to spend $2k on a drum set.😃 that drummer is awesome!

Great work!! I just bought a kit for $15 and will be doing something similar.

I've done a few kits in the past and I found WD40's rust remover in a one gallon can to work great for the initial rust removal from chrome hardware. Takes a lot of the elbow grease out of the equation. Just thought I'd share this.

tip on the puresound straps: the pin goes between the wite lines and then it holds very securely. It is a little tight to get them in but I never lost one like you say and I use them on all of my three Snares, two of which I take on the road once a week. So definitly cant confirm that statement.

They sound great for a CB, nice job

Nice video Joby

I love the fact you gave life to something that was clearly dead I don't like seen instruments written off there's nothing more sad to me anyway lol. Its actually sounds really good. My very first kit was a 1985ish premier metal kit and it sounds like that very big it has a boom to it and I love that kit I still have it. Dope video man!

cool!!! i also hate rust... nice job 👍👍👍

I love watching your videos. What's up Shawn!

8:50 you've got the pins through the wrong hole. It goes between the white lines hole 👍🏻

My first Tama Swingstar kit had the snare in the condition at the 2:18 mark.

Great buy for $10.

458. I have 5 of these snare drums. Sound good, tough as nails.

Any links to where you got the crash cymbal?

Hey, I know that drummer! Nice work on that restore!

My friend had a CB 700 back in the early 90s and I went to record his band and thought, " this is going to sound horrible." Surprisingly, they sounded great!

Someone can tell me a not expensive «skin» that could produce grave/bass tone on a cheap srumer? Thanks.

i'd keep it. start a new project with drummer guy. new ride cymbal tho. lol

Wow, these were even more damaged than the two sets that I restored!

Knew it rdavidr is a 🐐 great video dude love watching videos like these awesome job dude do you want me to subscribe to you my guy

for rusty chrome, WD-40 and steel wool. works wonders.

Your hands must have gotten sore cleaning this

Looks great and sounds great especially with that great drummer. Well done!
