Once again Im Testing Drum Hacks to See if They Actually Work! Some of these hacks work great and sounds/techniques I could see being used on a regular basis, but the rest are pretty out there or straight up dont work at all.

    What are some other hacks you want to see tested? 🤔
  • You have to use helium in those balloons. It really elevates the sound.
  • @ZappyOh
    The nails-thingy is golden. Someone should market a round one in metal, specifically to do this.
  • @rickjohns689
    The balloon idea is great, the same vibe as the old cloth on the drum sound, but you get more attack. Great trick, and the toy on the hi hat stand is killer. These are the best yet.
  • @Doinstuffman
    That balloon kit sounds perfect to play Come Together😂
  • @nafspark
    The groove at 12:08 is one of the tastiest things I've heard in a long time.
  • @robthompson8285
    David's drum hack videos are like a solar eclipse. They don't come often but when they do, they're magnificent!
  • @ColossusCo
    The balloon bass drum sounds like the perfect metal kick sample 😂
  • @hoilst265
    Try filling the balloons with argon! Fewer balloons! More balloons! I reckon one highly-inflated balloon could subtly damp the sound - too many underinflated ones would simply add too much rubber mass.
  • @c3h4ohcooh3
    Dude, the balloons look so cool. I don't even care how they sound.
  • @koolBOY8323
    absolutely LOVE that you not only used a DW kit to test balloons, but you had to deface them by taking out the vents to do it. chef's kiss
  • The biggest joy with these videos always comes from your playing, David. You always have such creative stickings and patterns, I wish I was half as versatile and varied as you in my playing.
  • @ChaosPootato
    The balloon thing is definitely an interesting super tight sound. And it makes the drums look fun
