20 minute accessory

[Drummers & Dragons]

Hey folks! Looking for a fun snow day or rainy day project that takes less than an hour?
Check out my $5 snare drum video!
$5 snare drum?! How dare you! Snare drums should be expensive and also a pain in the butt!
I know I know, but for gear heads it becomes not a snare drum, but a "master percussionist drum accessory".
It's a fun project that looks and sounds cool. Maybe you'll like it. Thanks.

cool. sounds a little like an old analog drum machine I had.

Thanks dtk! The cellphone clips do it no justice.
Drum machine? Those don't exist in my world!
Just kidding. My wife practices her guitar to a click sometimes. I have to leave the room.

Cool...it is a creative way to do a kit add on. I like your idea of leaving it in the bag and pulling it out as an effect layer.

I think it's silly, but that's just me. It woulda been great when I was a kid banging on trash cans!

That's fine.
Try to remember it is called "playing" music.

I dunno... I'm kinda old for that remembering stuff.

Remembering what now? I've forgotten.

Awesome! Thanks Fat Drummer!

If Neal doesn't have it, I don't need it.

LOL!

Gosh.
Well that's fine.
I adore Mr. Peart and believe he's one of the greats.
I was definitely directly influenced by him for a time, as I am sure many DFO members were as well.
I would call him, among other things, innovative.
When not on the road with RUSH, he bicycled across much of Europe, mainland China, and Africa with a few hand drums, and other percussive "toys".
I can't help but wonder if he would have appreciated having a $5 snare drum in his saddlebags in such situations.
It is after all, among other things, lightweight.
But I will likely never have the opportunity to share ideas with Mr. Peart.
Perhaps if it were developed and improved by a multitude of drummers all in one place with helpful advice?
Meh.
Someone would just slap an ugly logo on it in the end I suppose. Then jack up the price.
Especially if a celebrity drummer endorsed it.
But innovation keeps happening somehow. Maybe from ideas?

 

[MasterBlaster]

TBH, I was kinda kidding...

Imitation isn't innovation people.
Despite some internet troll comparing my video to a pile of garbage, I hope you might have a look anyway.
