- Today I converted my Yamaha Maple Custom bass drum into a floor tom. It was super simple using some DW Claw Clamps (DWSM2141) and some spare PDP legs (DW ones almost seemed to big but also work). I'm super excited to experiment with this setup! Tom sizes are: 6", 8", 10", 12", 13", 14", 15", 16". Bass Drums are 22x16, 22x18 and 18x14 (now a floor tom) and snares are 12x3, 14x4, 14x5.5, 14x6.5. Cymbals are all Sabian, mostly AAX Metal series, some specialty and some HH. Drum heads are all Evans. Primarily G2 for all the toms, HD Dry for the snares, GMAD for the bass drums. I'm happy to answer any and all questions you may have!
Thank you for watching!
dude... i have searched for over an hour for this information. 😅 Google and keywords suck. I found this and now I know what to get for my 20" bass drum to floor tom conversion. Thank you
Well im glad I could help! Thanks for finding it
First saw Thomas Lang use the clamps this way.. makes so much sense. Can't wait to try it out myself. Your 18 sounds beast! Great video.
It's so simple and effective!! And yeah I'm extremely happy with the results, this kick sounds killer and a floor tom. Thanks for watching and commenting! When you do yours, let me know I'll check it out!
Absolutely stunning Yamaha's. I wish I still had mine.
Thank you very much. Of all my kits it's my pride and joy. I just recently added a 4th bass drum to it lol it's just a collection addiction now more than a drumset.
@@ZackZweifel wow, I am envious, enjoy every moment with it.
Great job but I KNOW you must NOT be a gigging drummer with this BASEMENT size kit?!!!🤣🤣🤣… I can’t IMAGINE setting that up EVERY weekend!!!!!!!!! Beautiful set up!!!!!👍👍👍👍☝️☝️
Actually, back in the day, I traveled with this kit as a 9pc. 2 kicks, 3 rack toms, 2 floor toms 2 snares. Now I pay a 5 piece, and even then, I cringe lol 😆 🙃 😅 😬
I'm gonna try with my 22''X18'' bass drum! 😈😈😈
This is exactly what i was looking for! Great solution
Thanks for watching! Glad it helps!
Mini Terry Bozzio/Neil Peart/Mike Mangini/Gee Anzalone/Nicko McBrain/Derek Roddy/George Kollias setup, lol. Nice video man \m/
I was heavily influenced by Mike Portnoy back in the day. Use to have the octobans all setup too. The Purple Monster was my favorite of his kits. I call this kit my Maple Monster. Thanks for watching!
This gave me an idea thank you
Anytime! Glad I could help
nice idea - and I've got an extra 26" bassdrum that I'm thinking of putting somewhere left, right or behind me, just like the Uriah Heep drummer on the "Wacken" Open Air Concert 3 years ago .. maybe I'll get these DW claw clamps and give it a try ;-)
Nice work bro. 👍👍
This is really awesome. Any trouble playing over the thick wood rims (hoops)?
Sorry never saw the post. Been awhile now and moved the drum several times with no issues to the hoop. And no issues with them being thicker
Still think you need another bass drum. Would be cool if you had a 16X18 FT or 14X20 BD sounds awesome
I'm hoping someday I'll find an 18" actual floor tom and also to add a 20" kick!
What about snare drum out of the bass drum? :D
Hmmmmm some custom wires and a huge boom lol
