I don't see myself going through all this work for a bass drum beater.. But it sure was kind of therapeutic to watch you doing it :)

Now make drum sticks out of drum beaters

You're a true craftsman! I wish I had a work area like yours.

I half 45 minutes until my exam... and I'm here.

Your face when you said "goood damnit" I'm in tears at work 😂😂😂

Anyone else like seeing the wood change shape on the lathe?

its so easy to watch. but few are able to feel that it is really so much hard work. appreciate it dude!

when you stop to think about it overall this guy works really fucking hard

I would’ve never thought of using a drill press for lathing.... That’s Awesome!

When you was using that sanding belt thing your fingers were so close to it my anxiety was all the way up

You are for real my hero man, I'm a drummer and an aspiring maker and your videos just make me all giddy inside! using a drill press as a vertical lathe was GENIUS! Keep em coming and I'll keep watching them man! Don't stop!

That's a lot of work for that amount of wood.

I was sooo impressed you have a thicknesser! Then the drill press sent me over the DIY edge. that's brilliant!

I never would've thought to keep old broken drum sticks, neat project

Really appreciate the amount of effort put into this video. That beater would be a treasure to have

I just love the smooth- groove- chill music! It's has a Charlie Brown type feel to it

i could accomplish anything with this type of background music

I thought this would be something I could do, but as soon as I started watching it I said no way, this guy is a friggin genius!

So nice to see another musician that knows how to use tools.

I admire, how you are passionate about your work

That's an insane amount of work for a beater, but worth it as the sticks you would've just burned or tossed are now serving your songs again. I love your drill press lathe. I never thought to use one like that. Good deal and great work as always!

Your videos are always amazing rdavidr

From one drummer/ carpenter to an other sick work bro.

thanks rdavidr you are a huge inspiration for me and a lot of other drummer thanks!!!

This is a very cool way to re-use broken sticks! My Dad usually just takes mine and uses them for paint stirrers

Always love your creativity, Bud. Thanks so much!

Awesome! My two loves drums and carpentry! Job well done!

My god that is a lot of work! Amazing

Legend says every single clamp in the world was used to make this beater

I dont think i love playing drums more than you love what you do.. And i really love drums!!!!

You always have really rad content, and a really chill soundtrack. Keep it up man!

your a true craftsman! when I was a kid my dad had a couple of fiberglass dowels, & I asked if I could make indestructible drumsticks outta them, he said sure that's a good idea, we didn't have a lathe (sp) but he had a drillpress that we laid on its side & I shaped em like that. in the end they looked like real drumsticks but not exactly identical in taper & bead, but I was proud & he was too. unfortunately they felt awful with alot of vibration transfer to the hands. I gave them away to someone who liked em.

looks friggin awesome...

loved it as usual. your tunes!!

Sooo much work! Would love to hear it.

dave we have the same initials, when i was in middle school i also engraved "dr" onto one of my sticks lmao

you're realy cool man, thanks for all your input and the combination between drumming and working with the stuff instead of always putting all in the trash.

Omg dave love your channel so much keep it up mate!

so relaxing!

Like we said in Argentina: " SOS UN MAESTRO!!!!", que laburo!!!!" ( You are a Teacher/Master, what a work you do !!!"

he is freaking amazing dude.. he`s dedication WOW

2:17 bro those Belgium mini creme puffs are bomb! I've never seen the big tub like that before

Dude, you rock! so much dedication and effort in your videos, keep up the awesome vids.

Dude, you are so talented and skillful. Thanks for sharing.

nice vid. good mix of fast and regular speed.

This man is truly a master craftsman

Now this is perfection/art/drum gear - combined! Amazing video man!! I love how you take all kind of "rubbish", that some people would throw away, and you make beautiful and useful things of of them. Looks good man! :)

YES!! Well done!

I love the music in this video

Incredible.

really love your videos! your style of filming is awesome and very enjoyable

Very nice.i just saw the drill press / lave you made I have to admit I never thought off or saw anyone use a drill press as a lave nice work

Great video i might want to try that myself one day

oh man! that's awesome

You are a full skilled professional in your art, magnificent!Congratulations, Earth Brother

Awesome job dude

I love the music in your videos..

That's so satisfying.

This was awesome

Using a drill press as a lathe, that was the best part!

That was the most enjoyable thing I've seen all day.

Daaamn bro, looks like a lot of work, That thing is a piece of art! it looks and sounds great!

nice job David

Aghhh that Sqwwal noise from speeding up the clips is killin me

That song is so good

Very nice! A lot of work went into that... I have a question though, why did you keep so many broken sticks over the years?

this was so satisfying to watch

amazing!!

Dayum, that was a lot of work.

This is why I love your channel! In every video you show me, that i dont have to spend tousand bucks but if Im handy enough, I can make (almost) everything on my own...

dude the last track is sick!!!

What a cool re-purposing demo... the amount of edit time on your videos has to be HUGE!!! Well done sir...

That was a great idea

Dude you are an inspiration! Great work! Video and Craftsmanship!

I love that sound when he throws the cut sticks into the bin.

*Snaps in a Day after all that hard work*

Thats awesome!!

Redefining idleness!

Bruh You're a great man

cool! good idea

Blocking all those sticks is way to much of a task. lol. Cool vid tho and much love to all the craftsman out there who spend the hours building this stuff. I don't miss those days at all.

This beat puts me to sleep. I love it

Spectacular, congratulations :)

F...ing brilliant!!!

awesome! you guys think it's possible to build a guitar neck this way? maybe not with drumsticks but something similar (but obviously longer)

Great video! I like the new music your putting in your videos now; the jazzy, chill type of music like this song in this video. I hope you make alot of money doing what your doing. Keep it up!

Your woodworking skills are great. I was kinda hoping to see more of a nod to the drumstick in the final piece. Don't get me wrong, what you made looked lovely, but if I was shown the drum beater first I would never have guest you used drum sticks to make it 😉

It's beautiful...SO MUCH WORK!!!!!

You have a really awesome set of tools. I'm jealous of your garage lol. Cool videos btw.

Hello does anyone know what length and demeter of the metal shaft he used because I am making my own bass drum beater.

Haha that's quite a crafty hobby of yours. I really with I had all those tools.

Thank u,man Thats rly cool

awesome bud! keep it up!

Super interesting to watch

This was oddly satisfying to watch. Keep up the good work! Subscribed!

the amount of sanding and the number of clamps on this channel is overwhelming lol. awesome vid it was cool to watch

Great idea for a lathe!

please forgive my ignorance but what is the purpose of sanding before plaining??

Beautiful beater and cool idea! You've got yourself a new subscriber!

Other than the amazing videos.. your beats are fire!!!
