And THIS is why you have masters' degrees. It's all "fun and games" until you start explaining the complexity behind the *seeming* simplicity of hitting a bottle with a stick. As usual, I sit in awe. (I'd stand, but y'know, I'm already in a chair, and...)

Hey I've got a tip for you! You can look up the size of hole valve stems get pulled in to, allowing you to drill all your caps at once. They also make cheap 'valve stem pullers' that are made for tire shops, which would be more than sufficient for what you're doing. No superglue and no leaks! Many people have done what i have just described with no issues. CHEERS!

@@KaboomPercussion Also, try out presta valves. I dont know if they will work for what you are doing, but they tend to be used in smaller, higher pressure applications like this. You see them mostly on road bicycles. Might fix your lids warping as the hole would be smaller.
@jslasher5330 2 жыл бұрын
@@austinshoupe3003 was just about to mention this. The schreder valves being used are meant for high volume low pressure situations. Presta valves are meant for low volume high pressure. I think presta might be easier to work with if you can get it set up.

Your video was a very good starting point for me. I'm very much into weird-but-cool percussion instruments. This looks like something that could be made from scratch with a fairly small budget and moderate to little diy skills. I'm known to have two left hands, but at my work we have a diy building area with professionals who could and very much would like to help me make one. I'm sure they would love it as one of them is also into weird-but-cool musical stuff like this.

For the larger pressures could u maybe try using a metal washer on the inside of the lid. I'm just thinking it could help thicken the lid to stop it bulging?
@KaboomPercussion 3 жыл бұрын
Ooh interesting idea! We’ve since been making lids with a drill press and they’ve been consistently better than when I was doing them by hand with a smaller drill bit and eyeballing the final hole size. So far that seems to have taken care of the bulging issue but the washers are a good idea to mitigate some of the pressure. I’ll keep it in mind for the future :D
@d.j.murphy2960 4 жыл бұрын
Have you tried replacing the plastic caps with metal ones of the same threading? If so, did it help at all with the warping under higher pressures? Also, do you use plumbers tape around the threading to created a tighter seal? Thanks for your time!
@KaboomPercussion 4 жыл бұрын
I didn’t even think of metal caps! That would probably work really well. We haven’t used any plumbers tape, just a bit of superglue so far

Kaboom Percussion - Just a few things that came to mind... I’m a systems engineer by trade and have played the Irish Bodhrán since 2004. When I first got my drum, I reworked it with weather stripping and electrical tape (green, of course) to remove the ‘tinniness’ and make rim shots more subtle. I’m nowhere near your level, but it would be brilliant if these ideas helped out. Let me know if you end up trying them I’d be my claim to fame... LOL!! Cheers!!
