[nation543]

so, i know it was just a test but let's see some f'ing blasting and see this shit LIGHT UP

[Twentenaar0]

YEAH NICE, i got it to but i have red ligths (black-red drumkit) :D

[dsayone]

@Twentenaar0 Nice, Post a video of it.

[Sardukar2219]

mother of flashy things :| nice

[skerzero]

Tutorial? please?

[manthorne]

Awesome, dude! Teach them babies right!

[rodpantera]

where can you by this???

[xinuchan1]

how much is this or how do i make one?

[dsayone]

@xinuchan1 Overall cost about $80.00. I made these from parts of a LED light up t-shirt and and LED lighting system, both I got from ebay. A small company is making these lights now for sale. You can find them here on youtube. Check out iwdrum.

[SlipFoldSevenknot]

Try and get different color LED's!! :D

[RDrumming]

Imagine the bass drum with a double pedal. It's amazing !

[hardcrustcheese]

WOW! You play the justin bieber beat!

[MrHerbalist66]

nice drums but you suck ass

[ZildjianSeRG]

If its actually "sound" that triggers these lights = bad idea playing live shows will just confuse it all and look like a damn Christmas tree.

[dsayone]

@ZildjianSeRG The light is set up with a trigger, like the ones on electronic drums and does not pick up other sounds but the bass drum.

[bendrumable]

thats horrid!



[666metalsucks666]

nice towel

[alienrush]

cool

[dje9543]

Thats Purdy :)

[korea148]

How did you made'm??

[0235681956]

LOOK, IT'S RAINING LIGHT

[1searayus]

Undoubtedly looks awesome on stage.

[mhroveto]

Hah this is so sick, Wish I could do this to my set.

[epicslasher99]

looks like a transparent Xbox 360

[WavyGravyTrain1]

I'm glad that LED's have come so far since the 70s back then they were exspensive but now they are everywhere and it's great to see how this technology is implied into everything.

[Raakis93]

Where did you get those kind of led-lamps on your drums?

[Fusionfreakdrummer]

@dsayone i am not the drum nazi lol! do what you will, just understand there are techniques to tuning and proper 4 way independence,feel and finess! when a bass drum is used (played) the way it is meant to be used & tuned properly, you will have no issue gaining what sound you want but remember.. to understand "what sound" you want that actually works the kit's tone is a true time taking art form in it self! many drummers talk "tone and sound" with no true understanding of the subject....

[alexcravenator]

excuse me sir but where do you live so i can come round and steal those drums?

[Lastshadow94]

I wanna see what that light on the bass drum would do with Inferno, Kollias, Nick Barker, one of these speed kings playing all out double bass on it.

[brickceo]

@candywarheads72 Watch it buddy I'm drummer and I'll drop a cymbal on your cord LOL the blanket can deaden the overtones and or rings of the heads giving the sound more punch a good example is the intro for Sabath's "Ironman" The lights are pretty cool, kind of late 70's 80's and just I played my first paying gig at 12 years old in 1967

[MrTakashi619]

Are you part Asian? because that is awesome!!!! :D Its always been a drummers dream to have a light up drum set. xD Even though, I am a Bassist for my band. But, its definitely awesome to see something unique every "BLUE" moon. :D

[wiggyman16]

what is the white lines comin down from the drums on the side?

[PhunkYouInTheEye]

maybe if you cared what your drums SOUND like instead of what they LOOK like this video wouldn't suck. you should definitely spend money on more lights though...

[born2drum1624]

@PhunkYouInTheEye ur an asshole. maybe you should get off your fatass and stop talking shit via youtube.

[PhunkYouInTheEye]

@born2drum1624 practice what you preach, douchebag. and the drums are a musical instrument, not a fucking christmas light display. lf you care this much about what your drums look like, your just a tool, plain and simple

[born2drum1624]

@PhunkYouInTheEye your so close minded. If you want to get your point across to someone, or "teach" them about what they are mistaken in, being a dick isnt the way. So what if he likes lights on his Kit... shit. ar eyou against double pedals too? and triggers? and multi tracking? and digital recording instead of analog.... are u against driving a car and rather just walk? dude. go rethink ur life. your welcome.

[PhunkYouInTheEye]

@born2drum1624 HAHA my goal wasn't to teach, but i guess for you, class is in session. consider an ear. now consider an eyeball. an ear is not an eyeball. when you hit a drum it makes a sound and you can record it any number of ways that all influence how it reaches a listener's ear. all the things you mentioned deal with sound, not sight and i have no problem with any of them. have you ever gone to a concert and closed your eyes for an entire song? might want to rethink how you perceive music

[amylynn246]

why do you have a baby on your lap when youre playing the drums?!?!?!/

[dsayone]

@amylynn246 Baby wants to play too! She can play steady quarter notes and have her own kid drum set. Give me a break, it was only for a short period. I'm lucky if I get a chance to play the drums at home once a month now.

[PhysxTV]

@dsayone Just a quick FYI, if you don't know, symbols are usually 100-125dB, which causes permanent hearing damage in young children even when it isn't sustained

[lionshead39]

@PhysxTV 100-125 in a controlled room meant to have a large amount of reverb. and the player is hitting the cymbal at a recording quality strength. obviously this guy wasnt beating on his kit and hes probably not paying to have a controlled room. not really in anyones budget. im sure his kid isnt deaf..

[lionshead39]

@PhysxTV you butthole

[PhysxTV]

@dsayone it won't be immediately deafening but it will definitely contribute to further hearing damage and, if done often enough, will cause them to lose clarity very quickly. Other than that it's very cool and you did a great job with it.

[wiouxev]

@dsayone Hey man, you should post a tutorial on how to do this -- I for sure would appreciate it, and I am sure a lot of people would. Even a summary of what needs to be done or just the hard parts... would be so sick. I am getting a clear acrylic kit within the next month and I want to do something like this.

Cheers

[GerallRath]

@dsayone Dude i know how you feel i have a 2 month old baby boy 

[crloera86]

DOUBLE BASS!

[danielmattosoficial]

Great, your drum looks like a Christmas tree, but where's the tone?

[NeedleMonster1]

@danielmattosoficial Wow your cool

[khaostheory117]

still can't wait to get some extra cash to do this.

Looks Cool man, well done! Keep Rocking

[metallica4432]

thats freakin awesome! i want that!

[dsayone]

@metallica4432 Thanks



[legendofwii92]

@boredpersonthingy I definitely agree. I'd love to see and have drums that changes colors soon as you hit part of the drums.

[14nfamous]

hey how much would it be for a full set like that with like about 2 bass drums instead of 2 kicks



[tekkieee]

@14nfamous

2 - 22" bass drums = 2 - 22" kick drums

2 - 22" bass drums > 2 - 20" kick drums

They sell the LEDs in 5 or 10 meters in length.

Use 2πr to figure the circumference and length needed.

[TheAlphafly]

Merry christmas!!!

[merkz1515]

namo !

[dsayone]

@boredpersonthingy Yes that would be cool, but a lot of work to make it happen.

[SinaArtism]

We need one of those in our stripclub.. haha..

[refinedfriend]

@SinaArtism awkward.

[Deissman08]

This is pretty boss

[joelihoref]

nice color selection :)

[TheGrubification]

it looks like it's raining from your rack tom

[Darker1Productions]

where kan i buy this?

[dsayone]

@Darker1Productions you have to make it. Parts are on ebay.

[ExecutionKing]

@Darker1Productions spend your money on typing and/or spelling lessons first.

[SWI0001]

now do Your treachery will die with you...really brutal lighting

[megaelias1994]

How much did that cost you to do?

[dsayone]

@megaelias1994 about $80. The parts are probably cheaper now.

[DuralastTurbo]

DISCO DISCO!  =))

[PopSalarme]

what the shit of the drum!

[xDoomsday95]

cool xD



[TheIcecubelover]

there is dripping light from your drums....

:D

[Lukuras95]

TEchnology is AWESOME

[LinesGrey]

wow little techno boy playing drums??

[TeeRaeger]

COOLEST THING EVER!!! :D

[gilliboy007]

how do u give the lamps the energy to give light? where is the battery? :)

[dsayone]

@gilliboy007 The controller comes from a LED light up t-shirt and is small and runs on AAA batteries and is place in the towel inside the bass drum. The power from it is a bit weak. There are now new controllers out there, that are better suited for this.

[gilliboy007]

@dsayone thanks :) it's quite interesting, those LED lights on a drum kit

[CloggedLacrimalGland]

Hahaha! Yes! This is awesome.

[LotharOfDaHillPeople]

Looks like you've got a wrinkle on your right side of the batter head.

[dsayone]

@LotharOfDaHillPeople Yes indeed it was wrinkled. I'd kinda rushed to test it out the lights and didn't notice till afterward.

[ngalang36]

what kind of vu meter did you purchase?

[dsayone]

@ngalang36 I used the ones found on ebay under sound activated t-shirt. I just took the controller from the t-shirt and added more power to it because the 3volt provided by the batteries wasn't making the LEDs bright enough.

[dsayone]

@dsayone Forgot to tell you, there is a new controller out now you can use for this purpose. Check it out

youtube.com/watch?v=E6l4gg14Tt­c

[Fortress4ever]

This is so cool! I would love to do this but Have no idea how, could you send me instructions please? thank you

[kforce20011966]

can you send me a wiring diagram for this?

[mainey000]

hey mate, im thinking of doing something along the lines of this for my HSC art major work, how much did this all cost and was it hard to setup and figure out?

[dsayone]

@mainey000 Hey there, don't know how much LEDs you need for your project but a 5 meter RGB LED strip and controller with remote goes for about $50 on ebay, a little more if you order a 10 meter strip. Are you putting lights on a drum set? The LED strips are made so you can cut them. As for the vu meter, you can find it on ebay as well. Just look up sound activate t-shirt and use the controller from that. It has wires coming out of the box that you can cut up and join to low voltage lights.

[miniman1135]

wow awesome set up great job man, haha it almost looks like its raining blue light under the tom.

[dsayone]

@miniman1135 Thanks man.

[r3ddr4g0n87]

Just curious, what did you use for your sensor?

[dsayone]

@r3ddr4g0n87 The Vu meter came with a built in microphone with a volume control. I have modified it since the video to add more power and replace the microphone with a flexible vibration sensor piezo taped to the drum head. The piezo cost under $3.00. The microphone was picking up sounds from the other drums.
