Love concert toms, and I did this to a 12 and 13 on the kit so I could make them level with the snare(s) and floor toms. Now that I've found out there might be somebody local who makes larger rototoms, though.... 🤯🤯🤣

@malonedrum 2 года назад

I'd be interested to see somebody making roto toms. Document it!

@tommalsman4185 Год назад

I did the same build, only 10, 12, 13, 14ft, 16ft, from used shells. I added dowels to all of the holes filled, and routed the bottoms to fit automotive chrome edge guards, a perfect fit and match. 🎉

@malonedrum Год назад

I have 14" and 16" shells that I'm hoping to add to this set soon.

@ben_ide 2 года назад

Love the sound of the full mix.

@malonedrum 2 года назад

Agreed! That's really where they shine.

@crazy8sdrums Год назад

Nice project! Something you can do with a junked bass drum is to cut it down similarly to how you did these tom toms, and make a subwoofer out of it. Having two heads on a bass drum subwoofer is not necessary. It does work (ive done it) and it looks cool.

@malonedrum Год назад

I actually already used up the bass drum and turned it into a dog bed. You can watch that video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rrfe7n9QpS0.html

@Rhythmic1 Год назад

Those sound great. Way deeper an lower than I would have expected from shallow drums. Very cool.

@malonedrum Год назад

Yeah, I agree, and the concert tom sound in general seems to really dilute the effect of the shell depth.

@chromebull884 2 года назад

I did this with 4 rack toms from 4 different kits. I made 10" 12" 14" and a 16". I kept the 8" tom that came with the kit that the 16" bass drum turned rack tom came from and used it as it was. I stained them all black with a matte finish. Love projects like these!

@malonedrum 2 года назад

I recently picked up a 16" cheap tom at Goodwill, so I might add a 14" and 16" to this set.

@malonedrum Год назад

I think my biggest reason for not using better heads is I don't feel like spending that much money on a whole new set of heads, but if you send me 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16 I'll throw them on there!

@oncameramastery 2 года назад

Ha, just been thinking of doing somthing like this myself! I'm thinking of trying to half each shell to make a really tiny mesh headed practice kit, and use the other half of each shell to make a matching proper head kit!

@malonedrum 2 года назад

Do it! But I'll warn you, if you use the mesh heads it will almost completely silent, part of what makes those mesh heads sound right and have some tone is the bottom head still vibrating. I tried it, and it was way to quiet to use with my L80 cymbals.

@oncameramastery 2 года назад

@@malonedrum ah, yeah, I had heard that about the mesh heads, I'll have to think this one through then!

@gregwonhoff7161 2 года назад

Great video, Mike. I watched this one a few months ago but went back to watch it again, as I enjoy your posts so much. I think you should go ahead and turn that 14” tom into a concert tom to add to the other 4 you made. The more the better, right. Take care and thanks again for your posts.

@malonedrum 2 года назад

Spoiler, I also picked up a cheap 16" floor tom to do a 14" and 16" concert tom for this kit. So hopefully a set of 6 soon!

@gregwonhoff7161 2 года назад

@@malonedrum Now I am really excited, Mike! Can’t wait for that one. I just added another tom to my kit bringing my tom total to 7.

@kevinbothwell8425 2 года назад

Subscribed. This was sick! I've been eyeing the treehouse custom concert toms for a while. And I still may spring for them as they really are a good value. But seeing how successful this was does make me want to try cutting up a cheap kit and giving it a shot!

@malonedrum 2 года назад

I’ll have to check the Treehouse ones out, but I agree, worth a shot to try this first!

@nohandleforme.... 8 месяцев назад

If it was me doing this project, I would add the 14. I would also wrap them with some celluloid drum wrap, and put Remo CS black dots on them. Those heads work quite well on single head toms. But yeah, I like what you did. It is very cool!

@handsfirstflower3639 Год назад

I would not have cut them down from their original depths but that's just me. They turned out good as you did it. I would also have liked a more exciting finish than the basic green as you also stated. Great job though! For a matching set of four, not bad at all, especially for that price. I'd say go for it with the 14". If you already have all the material, why not? That 14" was looking pretty lackluster from the brief shot of you holding it up in front of the camera. Make it a set of five!

@malonedrum Год назад

I have the materials for a 14" and 16", hoping to get to it early next year!

The green concert toms are very Hal Blaine. You should definitely add a 14" tom and a 16" tom as well if you can. #14racktom

I'm leaning toward doing the 14" at least, don't know how I'd get this whole thing set up with 6 toms though haha

@RainMakeR_Workshop 6 месяцев назад

One thing I've been curious about lately... What if you used mesh head for the reso side? Would you get a sort of "inbetween" sound? Or would it just sound like one or the other? Also could you use it to have a loud kit for rehearsal and gigs, and then use the mesh side for quiet practice?

@malonedrum 6 месяцев назад

I have some experience with the mesh heads, and in a setting where you're using them as batters, the normal full rest head makes a huge difference. Without a reso head, the mesh heads sound like nothing, but with reso's they have some realistic tone. When it comes to the other way around, the mesh head allows all the sound to escape pretty much so I don't think you'd actually create a noticeably different sound than having no reso heads. You could take standard reso heads and vent them though, much like a bass drum would have a porthole and that would create an "in-between" of regular drums and concert toms.

@RainMakeR_Workshop 6 месяцев назад

@@malonedrum Interesting. Do you think you could layer both a port hole reso and a mesh head on the same side? Or would that completely kill the tone? That said, thats more a "I wonder" question, the main thing I want personally is a single kit I can use to both perform loudly on and practice quietly on without having to change heads or use mutes (not a lot a room or money for multiple kits). Could make for a good vid for those of us with only one kit and a need for both loud and quiet playing. But might also not be with the effort.

@malonedrum 5 месяцев назад

@@RainMakeR_Workshop I'm honestly not that curious to spend the time and money to experiment with it to that degree. Good luck if you chose to though!
