Welcome back to the next episode in my series on Alex Van Halen's legendary bass drum! In this video, I take you through the process of removing the old drum head and hoop and replacing them with brand-new ones. I'll tune it up to try and capture that classic Van Halen sound and give it a test run to see how it performs.
Don't miss out on Tanner Yordan's fantastic video on getting the Van Halen 1 drum sound, which has helped me get started. You can check out his video here: • Van Halen Drum Sound Q...

Alex said he wants the drums to be played so good on you!

Hey Chuck, great videos-thanks so much for them! Can I make a suggestion, one I stumbled upon years ago? Get a dollar store door draft stopper (they look like a bean bag snake) and lay it against the batter head, inside the drum, in a smile formation. Trust me, it’s sounds Killer!

That's a great drum hack. Thanks!

@@ChuckSchillingDrums trust me, man-please try it. Even two of them works, also-one on batter head and one against reso head.

I still have my late 1960's Ludwig drum set, similar to this. I took off the 'T handle' tensioners because they made no sense at all to me. Bass drums are 'set and forget'. I don't even re-tune my snare drum.

@ChuckSchillingDrums 14 дней назад

I like the look of the T's, but on my other Ludwig kits I swap out the bottom two on the batter side so they don't interfere with my kick pedal.

Alex snare tone cool n different but everything else on his bigass kit sounds like cheap cardboard boxes until the 90s thank god his brother was a fine guitarist cause Al a fine player just terrible capturing in couple albums

Nervous about seating a head? Nerve wracking? Dude.... Cmon now. It doesnt matter who owned the drum, its just a drum, as any other drum.

@ChuckSchillingDrums 14 дней назад

That's what I kept telling myself, but I'm telling you my anxiety was up to here! 🤣

@J.Lee2987 14 дней назад

Always liked Alex as a drummer but hated his sound. Wet, loose and boxy. The rotos were the exception but it ensured that I never touched anything Ludwig.

@ChuckSchillingDrums 13 дней назад

He's definitely a drummer that you can identify instantly from his sound. I've always been a fan, but a distinct sound can turn some people off. For me, it's "It's still Rock N Roll to Me" from Billy Joel 🤮😆
