Snare Drum Build 

Killing it on that stop motion game.

That stop motion section was incredibly satisfying.

Dude the amount of work you put into your videos is insane, that stop motion was fuckin rad

The stop motion shots must have taken forever to create. Really cool job on that. Maybe I missed it, did you do a snare bed for this drum? I would love to hear your thoughts or maybe a video on what a snare bed actually does for the sound.

your edits are getting kraaarazy man.... This must have taken days to put together!

this channel should be called "sanding with rdavidr"

Hand hammer some cheap cymbals for the viewers

I seem to be the only one here in the comments section who thinks that the finish looks badass! and the bondo patches make it look even more cool. very rocker looking snare and it sounds pretty good too!

woooooooow, man! the editing, the stop motion, the awesome shots! this video deserves an award. :DDD

So I wanted the finish to be a reminder of what these drums were like when I fist got them. So thats why I left it brown and left the bondo patches. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Dude! Love the channel!

I’m born raised Richmond, and avid RU-vid watcher and have played percussion more than half my life. Just moved to Pennsylvania with my wife and child. I think it’s crazy the way the universe works finding your channel now.

I dont know what I like more, the snare drum sound, the snare drum look, or the bloody video. Fucking bravo. That kit is fuckin rad.

0:38 that brandon scott quote lol ;)

I'm really impressed with the frame by frame section of you putting together all of the lugs

OMG dat production value! The stop motion stuff with the sound FX was amazing!

I see you are still rockin' that ghetto moon gel, my teacher at school had some on the window that said 'merry Christmas' and she was about to bin them and i said 'I'l take them, put them on my drum kit' and she said 'uhh, okay...' so now i have some weird stars and holly tree shaped gel things on my kit :D

One of the coolest stop motion videos I have ever seen. Hands down.

I just wanted to say that I love your style of videos and that they're getting better and better. I really liked the stop motion in this one although it's probably a bit more time consuming. I really appreciate the amount of effort you put into making these videos.

incredible that you did stop motion on the most time-consuming project possible.

of all the snares ive seen on this channel, this has to be my favorite in sound and aesthetic. Fantastic job!

My all time favorite rdavidr video. Always coming back!!

You make such great videos, good music, content, editing. Very creative.

It's incredible to see how much your videos have improved over time! You are a true craftsman and I really admire the work that you do. I'll never stop watching; keep up the good work!

You, sir, are AMAZING! The creativity and thought process behind the snare drum design to the video editing to the stop-motion capture animations to the actual playing of the drums...simply breathe taking. I'm literally over here shaking my head as I type this. Kudos my friend!

It lives! Stoked to see the completed $20 drum set. Love the snare finish. Dig the overall kit sound. Amazing stop motion. Awesome!

The stop action and video editing absolutely blew me away, perfect video!

The stop animation was completely incredible and made the video that much more interesting. Thanks, RDavidR

Thank you for all your hard work. I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot from. I've been playing/teaching for along time And always found that if you don't have it or can't find it you have to make it yourself. Talent comes in many forms and you sir are a great example of that. Keep up the good work man. Thank you again, Ken

That stop motion part was awesome!

I loved the stop motion in this video! Thank you you for putting so much time in effort into your videos!

i really enjoyed the whole series. im sure every drummer has wanted to do this at one time or another and its cool to see where it can go. cheers.

i love that he actually spends time making his videos good, that stop motion was really good

Every time I see you upload a new video I get super excited. Never disappointing. Love your channel and work

this whole series was awesome! So interesting to see someone being so crafty, great job!!

So, erm, maybe I’m missing something, but why didn’t you just use the rims to work out where the lugs needed to go?

dude, i fell inlove with this project right away. awesome to see the end result. Props DUDE.

This is by far my favorite one of your videos. The whole project was very interesting but what I really loved were the edits. I appreciate the stop-motion very much and would love to see it more in the future.

This video is so well made. So are the majority of your videos. Subscribing definitely

Dude, I love the way you do all of your videos, but this one in particular is so well done.

I like the snare finish... It has a vintage vibe to it and I dig it

Man, I could watch you all day! Your content is so well thought out and I love how creative you are with it. There aren't many drum engineers (I guess we could call you that in this circumstance) that do restoration on this site so it's pretty refreshing. The coolest part is you're just filming what you'd most likely be doing for fun anyway! Really cool channel man! Keep up the good work

I love the whole stop motion drum putting itself together

I swear dude, this is by far one of the best channels on youtube. Loving your work man! Can't wait to see what you come up with next

I absolutely loved the editing on this video. Really sick stuff

Now this is quality right here. Absolutely well done video. Great job on the snare. I got mad respect for you man. Snare sounds pretty great.

This was an amazing video David! Loved the time and effort you put into this video, as well as the snare drum of course. It sounds awesome. Keep it up man!

Man, I love just watching you build stuff. Nice Stuff!

Love your garage curtains- it completes the look.

That snare came out looking awesome and the stop-motion scenes were a great touch.

That edit towards the end was so well done! I loved it! Keep up the great work.

Your other video on building a snare drum from a tom actually inspired me to build one myself. Ended up building a 13x6.5 snare and I think its awsome. Thanks man, keep up the good work.

I'm loving the stop motion and sound effects

Man that turned out BEAUTIFUL looking

That's a really cool throwoff and overall a really cool snare. I loved the stop motion shots too

Dude your edits are awesome. I've been watching all your videos this morning haha. I admire your work, subscribed!

The time lapse shots were awesome. Great sounding drum as well!

Awesome video, as always, David! Loving arty freeze-frame filming/editing, too! Always look forward to watching more if your videos. Keep up the great work!

Great to see the finished project.

Your video quality is absolutely stellar. I loved the stop motion shots in this. Hats of to you for making great videos. Your subscriber count is going to go through the roof.

dust mask when sanding would be a very good idea. Loved the special effects and the snare looks great.

Stop motion was awesome. Snare sounded surprisingly nice, too!

Dope! Looks great. What a trip watching the process. Love the editing putting the heads on and tuning it with no hands.

Been waiting for this one. Great video. Killer stop motion.

You are actually my favourite youtuber. Your work is amazing and I find your vids so interesting and unintentionally funny. Please keep making videos and I truly hope you reach 100k subs.

Wow the amount of time and effort you put into your videos is just incredible; I just subscribed to you a few days ago and I can't stop watching! I also really dig the look of that snare

Love the time lapses. The drum sounds and looks great!

Crazy awesome video dude! love your work man!

Dude, sick stop-motion sequence! Love your channel.

Dude, I love the finished product as well as the the stop motion. Very creative video!!

Came from the drum hack videos and by now I've seen a large amount of your videos, this one was especially rad. Great job!

Really cool. Thanks for documenting this process.

Aside from the Bondo, the finish looks sick!

This was like watching that show on cable tv, "How things are made". Great job!

Love watching these videos and getting ideas of projects that I can work on. I am in the process of making a bass drum beater thanks to you! haha

Crazy atop motion. Love it.

Pretty late on this comment, but after binge watching the whole project playlist, you make me want to upcycle the garbage kit I have in my storage room. Great videos, definitely gained a subscriber.

This video deserves more views,love the stop motion.

Loved the video, man. The stop-motion thing was awesome. Your production quality is getting so much better. Please keep up with the good work!

Your drum making and film making skills are awesome!!

Cool build. I like the grain filled cheapo diy look. It fits your channel and the rest of the $20 set well. Also enjoyed the stop motion.

Great series of 20 box drum kit!

Being noticed on RU-vid is getting harder and harder these days, and you've gotta bring something crazy and unique to the game to stand out. I gotta say, this video is so unique and different and standout from anything else in the genre and I commend you sir on how crazy unique your style and vision for each video you make is. You've def. Earned a subscriber and will continue to watch each and every video you produce from this point forward. Thank you so very much and I can't wait to see what else you have coming.

Cool video rdavidr! And nice looking snare. Your "video skills" are getting much better! Keep it up man!

Did well with this man, came out great! Looks awesome!
