Legend says that the Zilbel is still ringing

That 6” accent cymbal has heavenly overtones. It sounds like a major chord

Damn, so many people hating on the video.. lol. Everyone keeps saying how "unmusical" all this stuff sounds, so just watch the actual video where I play it all, and it'll all make sense. Haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna potate.

Been playing drums for 40 years and this is one of the most unique looking kits I've seen in forever.......looks really fun to play, LOVE bells.....and the dry sense of humor is great.👍👍

4:35 rings a major chord almost.

That 6" accent sounds gorgeous. The chord that rings out is amazing.

Heck yes dude! I love this setup up! So original.

„This is a zildjian prototype, there are only about 10 out there“ 5 minutes later „Oh, i forgot, its a candle holder which i modified“ Cant stop laughing

The stack sounds like a trash can lid, the rest are fine.

Hits Zil-bell 27 years later I died laughing OMG

Thank you for demonstrating the sounds these cymbals make, I really appreciate that you took the time to do this. I think there are a lot of aspiring percussionists who also want to know more about cymbals and what they sound like in varying configurations as you have done here. Cymbals cost more than the drums do, so learning about them before laying down a weeks paycheck for a ride cymbal is awesome. Your 8" splash with the crack in it can be fixed such that it lasts longer by drilling a hole, about 1/2 inches in diameter, at the crux of the crack, then cut away the cracked part from the edge of the cymbal to the hole with some tin snips. It won't be pretty, but the sound of the cymbal will improve and the cymbal usually will last much longer than if no hole is drilled. Thanks again.

needs more cowbell

You got me at the candle holder.. I'm definitely gonna look for one

@ 5:25 its the failed Zildjian 6" Prolapsed Arse Bell... lol

That's fun 27 year's later, this is a Awesome set up that you have.

4:33 That 6" Paiste sounds like a car horn here.

The second drum solo you played in the video sounded absolutely terrific, good work

Love your videos. The candle holder got me hahaha

That's an awesome setup. Love the stack!

That Paiste bell...OMG!!! I can still hear it ringing.....the cymbal should be your crown jewel it sounded so good!!!

Hahaha a candle holder that was funny as heck man. Drumming is all about been creative bro. Making different sounds and being different from all other drummers while still making sense when you play. Good job 👏🏼

oddly the candle holder was my favorite by far man! thats such a cool sound

I really wanted to hear the bells more than the story of each bell.

I think the candle holder was the best Bell! xD Cool Sound, short sustain

Loved yer part in the "Big cymbal vs lil cymbal" video. Thanks for the rundown.

Sounds good dude. If I had a bunch of little cymbals, I would enjoy jamming like this.

The Candle Holder got me .

This is great, thank you very much, now I can teach students to make music at school.

Luv ur stuff. Keep up the great work

The Paiste bell sounds beautiful

The 6" Paiste bell sounds so good

After all these years, these videos have now become my "comfort videos". I dunno why, but Dave's old studio just has been engraved to my mind as a place of some comfort. Weird, 'cause I've only watched it thru your videos. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for your recent work and the progress you made too! It's just my sentiment, I suppose. But yeah, these old videos... They comfort me :)

can you do a collab with jared dines please

Legend says the bell is still ringing.

Wow, that Z-bell is still ringing, even with the foam tape!

Pretty cool man.. Way to be innovative

nice vid as always man!

fun fact: search "weird cymbals" and this is the first result

“ I was at a music store one day and…..” yep been there as have we all. Bought a bell. Hit it once. I think it’s still ringing somewhere 🔔😁

you got me on that rare zildjian prototype, i fell for it lol good one

I've watched a bunch of your videos and was inspired to make a trash stack, I order some cheap (20,30$) cymbals from Amazon. The cymbals I got were thin and looked like something you'd buy from Walmart but I can't get a drill bit to go through it I striped starting with a 1/4", tried a 1/8", broke the 1/4" one on my second attempt and barely made it through the first hole with just the tip of my step drill bit, I was bummed but I still made a decent stack out of it. Thanks for all the crazy, creative ideas, hacks and tunes.

I love the people whining In the comments, the point wasnt to be a real kit, it was supposed to be a cool gimmick for a colab

love this "mini" kit, that just rock guy! :D

the stack is my favorite personally, I love the sound!

OMG! Thanx man, I never thought about using another hihat clamp upside-down like that :D

HAHA that little joke on the ZilBell was funny , 27 years later , lol

“We have had this cymbal for generations and is the one thing keeping us sane” “Oh wait a minute it’s just a candle holder”

cool set up man!

damn. this dude is crafty.

dude your channel is great ive never seen this before until this day haha and you are so funny i already watched 5 or 6 vídeos! nice work! (i dont speak inglish and didnt use Google) lol

This is proof that you can mix Cymbal Brands and the world won’t implode

Cool vid!

I'm not a drummer but I loved that hammerex bell.

This is awesome

i was about call zildjian then you say oh its a candle holder. i like it.

Love your videos

I love creativity.

"27 years later..." LOL! :-)) The video on Gabe's channel is pretty awesome! I've always liked small cymbals, thanks to my first drum hero Stewart Copeland :-)

Candle holder reminded me of the volcano cup or ice bell.....I've been playing a long time but out of your Arsenal of junk...id say candle holder sounds really good

The stack sounds like brushing the iron man suit with a tractor pipe

The little high hat sounds sweet

That last bell looks like a doughnut :D

I have a Stagg bell and i too found it just rang on for too long, so i spray painted the bottom black and it's perfect now

That's Dope ☺

People are over here hating and saying take care of your cymbals when they are like seven 😂😂. Geez do they even know how to play. Keep up the great vids man I watch them all the time and you've earned a sub😎 congrats

I love you, Dave.

You got some alien cymbals

you should take the rivets out of the ride with 100 rivets and play it!

That's a kick-ass setup... Try adding Grombals to those cymbals... they're awesome!

that candle holder got me believing. and I was like, "wow he's get a limited edition OoO"

I dig the rickety steel

Cool! This would be fun to play around with

I have the 6" Accent. I got it for $30. I love it and I don't usually use bells.

I think the z bell was one of the first accent cymbals I purchased in 1990. Still have use, if played w skill.

I love those pie tins.

I loled when he said, I’m gonna go right to left for all my Arabic viewers

I like the Sabyan b8 then the A custom.

I don't usually use bells when I drum but these sound interesting

then what was the super small bell that you used at the end?

I actually kinda like that candle holder.

Very epic, but what can you do with all your drums and cymbals and stuff?

the sabian B8 spash was the first cymbal i ever had on my set. i first started getting into drumming when i was about 15, and my dad had an old set from when he was my age that he gave to me, but the cymbals had been stolen by my aunt to buy drugs. we went out to this place in a nearby city called the tradelot. the tradelot was basically a massive yard sale that happened every weekend, but it was like a black market. i guarantee that if you looked hard enough, you could buy literally anything there, and it isn't on the maps. anyone could come in and sell their things there, but there were permanent vendors too. anyways, we were just wandering around and found that a sabian 8 inch B8 splash effects cymbal for $30, and it was the first one i ever got. i absolutely loved its sound, but i've beaten it apart since 😂😂 ngl i kinda miss its sound

I used to use a Sabian B8 splash and a Zildjian Amir 10" splash as a hi hat years ago as a goofy set up. I think I did it as a joke and couldn't stop laughing while I was playing it. I still have both cymbals

Hey David! I just wanted to say that I really love your videos. Even though I can't play drums, I still can't stop watching! Your DIY skill have inspired me to try and make some things myself, so I was wondering if you have any advice for someone who wants to start getting into woodworking? Keep up the good work, and all the best from Ireland! O.D.

That’s my dream splash cymbal

Dave, I highly recommend the HHX splashes.

What the bell

Put some holes in that Zil Bell if you haven't already! And those hats sound awesome, surprisingly. I also love that Hammeraxe Bell

The bell man

Have you ever tried brazing or silver soldering edge cracks or cracking around the holes??

Please for more information about the dark H mark?

Not bad for a candle holder.

That ribbon crasher is amazing. It's trashy in all the right ways.

all good bro me wow

4:34 WOAH that thing is sick sound like a railroad crossing or Chinese gong

I love that hi hat

0:34 i'm Arabic, much appreciated

great. a good ideia for playing in pubs where you have not enought space for a complete drumkit. use effects cymbals instead toms. and it have a nice sound. its nice to create new fills. different. congrats and tks.

Nice! I'd like to see a sequel to big kick little kick where Gabe uses your kick as a rack tom and you use his rack tom....you know where I'm going;)

You should do a video where you set up all of your drums and all of your cymbals (except for the starclassic) into one big set.
