I've been watching this channel 6 hours straight and I'm not even a drummer

You a genius.

I know this was 4 years ago but hes still the most creative guy on KZfaq.

22' snare... i dare you

for those who came here to listen to the blue tom, its at 12:42

The hardware popping up at 0:05 made me giggle out loud. You're a genius hahaha.

This guy must be a carpenter for a living. His creativity with wood shows that and all of those tools (drill press, table saw, router, ect) all cost THOUSANDS. Dude must make bank too

For cutting the snare gates a Dremel tool also works pretty fine, just use the heavy - duty cut-off wheels, as they do not wear off so fast as the standard cut-off wheels offered by the same company.

this is so awesome, I can't believe I haven't found your channel yet. Awesome stuff man.

You should turn the over half of the drum in to a coffee/end table that would be cool!

I really like the snare drum man. It sounds good. I have a request though. Can you make a video of different pitch tuning (low/mid/high) without muffling and then the same different pitch tuning with muffing. I would love to hear how dynamic it can be. (after you get the new head of course.) :D

Nice dry dark old school-ish hip hop snare sound

Hey man I just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your videos and how they are set up. You do such a good job of editing them and it shows that you put a lot of time into it. Keep up the good work!

probably the best secondary snare ive ever heard

straight 90s hip hop snare sound, well done build

You are so creative and talented with your custom made drums and hardware. Keep up the hard work. I appreciate your videos and what you do for it.

Great video with some AWESOME ideas! My favorite (since no one asked) is the rim conversion. Great idea since some places charge twice as much for snare side rims. Oh...and thanks for being a drum hoarder. Now I can prove to my wife that I'm not the only one!

The quality of your videos just gets better and better! Great work David :)

Dave that is insane. That is a killer snare drum

Wow that's awesome. It sounds like a DW ballad snare, I love it!!! So phat and deep.

Dayum! I'm very impressed. it's extremely responsive, I had my doubts. Very cool!

I did this same project a few times in the past. About 7 years ago I converted an old 20"×12" marching bassdrum I had into a "megabass snare" for an 1980's over the top "cannon shot" type snare effect I needed for a demo track I was writing/recording & it was actually a pretty unique drum lol. I connected 2 10" snare strands from a couple of popcorn snares I made once & made it fit the 20" snare side pretty good! eventually I ended up making it into a drum coffee table for my studio/mancave lol. I dig your videos & money saving tips & ideas for the starving drummers out there! I've rebuilt, customized & messed around with percussion and other instruments since I was 8 years old & still love the gitty feeling I get when I'm working on a drum project or find an old drum kit at a yard sale for cheap so I can restore it & give it new life or resell it & make a lil $$ :)

I just absolutely love your channel. 😆

You make very engaging videos about really fun projects - great stuff!

Man the finish is beautiful!

idk why but his drumming is just so satisfying to watch

Great !!!! love that tie dye colouring

His videos are so quality, why doesnt he have more attention and subs?

Those fills are so clean!

Killed the play along track! Awesome beats! Drum sounds killer to!

Great job David. Sounds cool

Love your videos and the creativity you have bro keep good work and love the snare so meaty and punchky

Sweet Sounding Drum, Awesome Tone.

I like the way it sounds it sounds muffled and deep it so like a bass drum with snares good job

What a cool snare drum makeover! I would call this wrap the Birthday Tie-Dye.

Sounds great and looks great.

One of my favorite so far, good stuff man!

Dude those fills were so gooooooood what an interesting style

Sounds epic! Great video and I really like your playstyle

That thing looks amazing!

I love the sound of that snare brother!!! damn good job!

This snare is awesome. I want one!

That snare sounds so gnarly man!

Men i love how you build everything you need. I would love to make my own snare drum.

Awesome Video as always, inspires me to revitalize my old 16" Landknechtstrommel.

you are so creative dude i love your channel

Beautiful! You are very skilled and talented!

Great playing at the end! your drum sounds awesome!

BRO LOVIN THE SOUND OF IT

Super particular sound.... love it!

freaking sweet snare drum! love your videos :) cheers

Cool track and snare sound

sounds freaking good man

Just got around to ordering my first Wrap from Walopus. Custom Wrap too! Thanks again!

It sounds like a regular snare pitched down! Insane!

I love the sound of it

Oh my god! This thing is huge!!!

Great drum. Great song too...

yo why hasn’t david mad a phat snare yet? like we talking a W I D E lad an absolute UNIT of a snare, why david? why don’t you give us the super snare

Nice man really cool. It sounds great. A really fat sound. Now, we wanna ear it without any muffling. Just the natural sound of the snare. Also a huge fantastic work. greetings from Argentina.

That's beautiful.

Nice one man, sounds awesome and it looks freakin sweet!

Hey David what kind of ride cymbal is that? the bell has a very tall profile.

Another awesome vid

Love the channel! You're like the Macgyver of drumming!

Nice. I like the drill modification.

This looks like a snare that Daru Jones would use!

awesome job dude!!

Sounds awesome

muito incrivel! parabéns, aqui no brasil não tem quem faça essas coisas realmente muito bacana! um abraço de um fã do brasil!

that wrap looks cool I like it good choice 10/10 IGN

This is my new favorite snare

Sounds awesome, cant wait til I can give something like this a go.

Dude this is amazing! If your Job for life was fixing and building drums, you would be the best! Now I want to make a snare drum!

Love it! Kinda want to try make my own now, thanks for the inspiration dude :d

"This thing looks amazing and I love the way it looks"

love that fat snare sound and it looks great! thanks for the video; its inspiring to make my own snare out of an old tom.

muy bueno! quedo espectacular!

I wish you would have played the drum without all of that muffling. Remove the wallet and star gel. Let's hear that baby ring.

Thaang! You have some cool stuff on your chanel bro. Thanks so much for all the information you share. Keep it up..!

Let's hear it cranked up to the stratosphere! I bet it sound amazing tuned tight. You keep at it, you wizard you.

Sick! Getting an old school hip hop vibe from that snare. Put a BFSD on that thing and I bet itll explode

Seems like a lot of effort for a not-so-good sounding snare, but I do appreciate your dedication and technical skill. I enjoyed the video, here, take my like!

What a sick build! Well done. :D Love the wallet mod also. ;)

dang, just saw this awesome video man. crazy 16" fat snare sound. I'm definitely gonna try to make one myself soon. minus the crazy wrap. lol

Nice drumming man 👍

That song at the end and your playing was fucking great!

Very cool resutl!

That was sweet! I wanna make one!

I'm really liking that snare! I'd tune it really high to see what it can do.

Great build dude :)

looks killer! but i'd put a Remo Diplomat coated on TOP... you'll need a really thin/low mass head to get that high, snare-like tension for stick bounce/reactivity. Love it!

I love it! Make more videos like this😍

I have the same combination square as you. I can only assume this will gift me with your powers of drum manipulation.

Dude that shit sounds completely AMAZING

Cool snare dude

Cool! I love drums & Drummers (although I'm not one, myself)!

cool project david, nicely finished as always, keep it up bearded man (y)

I got your stickers and put them on my kit and I love them!
