Portable Drums

[MatrioskaCigany]

I play a stuff like this right now because the rest of the kit is being refinished.

It is horrible because the tom is moving backward makes impossible to use double pedal.

[Meta1Head91]

Nice one Mike Shinoda!

[KaneTaliaferro]

Mmmmm thats a nice snare. Pork Pie?

[Drumsrmalife15]

Why in the hell would u use a Tom as a kick!!

[flabaman44]

@Drumsrmalife15 you convert it in to a tiny bass drum to use when you travel

A 12" kick drum. NICE!

[13motored13]

LOOOL cute drum bass xDD

[FredrickGrodyIII]

Sounding good bro

[namir91]

Is that a pork pie snare?

Nice gig kit, do you miss not having any toms?

[weerpool14]

wow!! this is fucking genius!!!



[FDLRemmurd]

Really clever! I saw in central park this little jazz trio and the drummer had a 12 inch tom bass drum but it was just on top of a towel or something. Not quite as smart as just flipping your mount around like you did.

[arconda666]

Yeahh!!

[Fucklesticks]

Wow that 12'' tom sounds massive

[crlaw75]

It is amazing the stuff for drums and what you can do to them now, from heads to accessories.

[bilcksneatff]

Pretty neat idea! It would be nice to have at least one tom though lol

[joecool007]

Yamaha Groove Wedge

[dremkwil]

What's that thing on the snare?

[iasm94]

@dremkwil to my knowledge that is some kind of wood piece you attach to a snare drum for rim shots :)

[Musicaman12]

What did you do to get a bass pedal on to it?!?!

What did you attach it to so you can have used as a bass drum!?!?!

[joecool007]

Nothing. The pedal has velcro underneath so it doesn't move on a rug. I just placed it right in front of the tom, which is held with it's tom holder.

[joecool007]

Thick head, loose tuning and a pillow for muffling. It sounds like that because of the acoustics of the room, put it anywhere else and it wouldn't work as well.

[mrboverbro]

@joecool007 how did you get this tom to be a bass drum? thanks!!

[mrboverbro]

how did you get that tom to be a bass drum???

[cinecicleta]

how do you attach the BD pedal so it doesnt move?

[SimonBak90]

Saw many drummers on the streets of New York playing on nice little kits like this.

[UberEvilDragon]

hehehe im making one of these too for small gigs with a friend of mine

making it for just € 55 in total :D

[Leudey]

55€ in total? i mean youn need a floortom for at least 40€ (the cheapest one that i know, from millenium), a pearl jungle adapter for about 30€ and another adapter for the tom holder, which doesnt exist at a floor tom, but which you need to mount the pedal end of the jungle thing ...

how can your solution be so cheap?

[ILikeCatTreats]

Awesome bass drum!

Just wondering how you tuned it, it would be really nice if you could tell me because I have been playing with one like that in the city to try to make a few bucks but it doesn't sound that great!

[joecool007]

Thanks! Actually you can check out my other video Floor Tom to Bass Drum in which I actually converted a 16" Floor Tom and sounds much better than this. What I did here is I placed a small pillow inside used a Remo Pinstripe head and tuned it almost loose (tightened by hand and then gave it a bit more with a drumkey). What helps here is the size and acoustics of the room (it's preety small). Hope it helps!

[ILikeCatTreats]

Thanks for the quick response!

I also use a Remo Pinstripe that's very loose, just doesn't sound that good for me.

I'll keep playing with it!

[joecool007]

Of course! You should try it with a bigger tom then. Not a 12" but a 14" instead. It should give you a somewhat bigger sound.

[voodoovictims]

I did the same thing to a 13 inch floor tom but went a little bit farther by getting the gibraltar gunnet spurs and pedal adapter and removing the drum wrap. after wards a friend of mine sanded, stained and polyurethaned the outer shell and i put some old floor tom mounts onto it so the spurs would fit. Then i installed an old snare dampening felt system on the inside of it. looks great too put some thick heads on it and put a towel in it, itll sound great.

[shammerHammer]

yeah i thought that too... nice attack!

[atks22]

nice!! wat is the depth of the tom? n wat brand is it?

[joecool007]

Thanks! It's a Yamaha Stage Custom 12x10 tom. You can also check my other video "Floor Tom to Bass Drum" in which I use a 16x14 Floor Tom (which is more versatile than this). Take Care.

[TheBrianEffect101]

wow thats pretty simple u just took a mounted tom and turned it and brought the other stuff lol

[d15er]

nah i bet it sounds decent..its just the room hes in

[tronque]

Hahaha, People are more n more getting in to weak bass drum sounds because of downloading shitty <128 kbps files. Funny really!

[cinecicleta]

most BD sound you hear in modern recordings are made with triggers, samplers or actual small bass drums, the tendency is lots of attack and not a lot of low end. thank Ipod, mp3 and small earpieces for that. who wants to carry around two 24" bass drums anyways?

[rockmusscarcella]

I like your groove!, it's like the mine, or the mine is like u? xD, good job D;

[JasonDTube]

I've been wanting to do something like that for years! How did you rig the 12" tom to stay in one place?

[joecool007]

Thanks for watching! Actually the 12" tom is on a conventional tom holder, which is attached to the cymbal stand. (the normal way you'd do it only that the tom is facing "forward", like a bass drum). The pedal is actually on the floor rug and not attached to the tom because it has velcro underneath so it doesn't move around. Hope it helps!

[JasonDTube]

Ohh! I see what you did. Very nice! I'm gonna need to try that soon. Thanks!
