Sca-Taylor Octobass when?
DAD
ADOPT ME PLEASE
🤣😭
Hello
"Yeah yeah, the club has a kit you can use"
lmao
This hurt.
🤣
Ha!
I’ve honestly played worse in-house-kits than this one 😅
"Drums don't have tuning"
20 seconds in and we can already see how this is going to end
Lmfao
My thoughts exactly.
@jancsi 1 yeah, drum tuning is more of a guestimate thing, like "yeah it's got enough tension on it." Some people even play drums that specifically aren't in "normal" tuning, such as Artic Monkeys, their toms are WAY low.
Guitars, on the other hand, need extremely specific tunings to actually play a certain note, and needs to hold that tension exactly. You need to tune it to an A, or an A#, but you can't go somewhere in the middle, like "A half-#" or something. It will sound awful
He was definitely trolling, besides, he's a pretty versed drummer himself. Granted, he mainly uses that electric kit we see in his room, but still.
@jancsi 1 I mean you have to tune your heads to certain notes...
When I first saw the assault-drum sticks I assumed the points were supposed to be at the hitting end. But the fact that they're at the end you hold so they dig into your wrist is a higher level of genius
That'd probably be worse lol, rip your drumheads
I love seeing Simon work, he actually seems great at what he does.
He's perfect! He has the skill to implement all of Rob's ideas, but not the experience to know how terrible they are!
To be completely honest, I could not tell if he was a playful expert or a madman in the first video and thought he was actually going to mass produce that lethal weapon of a guitar
Thank you
It's not a Sca-Taylor product if there isn't a risk of cutting yourself on at least one part of the build! This is beautiful
That's pretty metal
As soon as they included a literal rusty sawblade I knew they were going to stay true to the shark
The only music company where the instruments make you feel like your in a fight 😂😂
You know the motto: "If it ain't hurt, it dudn't work."
Cymbals unexpectedly falling was the standout running gag for me
Also they're not his. They're borrowed
32:27
AND THEN THE CYMBOL FELL OF FUNNY IES SHIT I EVRE SEEN
I love Simon.
It's like he's simultaneously going "Alright, i know what i'm doing" and "i have no idea what i'm doing, but i love it!"
"Don't worry about bringing gear, there's a house kit"
The house kit:
Good joke, where'd you come up with it?
Will there be a MIDI drum sample pack?
It’s for genres ranging from garage rock to garbage rock
I hope so. One of the main drums I use in orchestral work is a sample of a literal pizza box.
@@callixvision6481 was his channel ever super lively? I like him but I’ve always found his content to be stale.
Crap. I had the same idea. Should have checked the comments first.
@@MaybeAnnatar Deadmau5 uses the slapping sounds of his dummy thicc buttcheeks over his snares.
Waiting for making a piano from scratch without any experience lol
Edit : THE MAD MAN DID IT
sounds like a nightmare
@@YlowX7 sounds like content.
Sounds like done
sounds like hell
“They’re just cylinders…with drum heads on them…”
If you thought guitarists were ornery about tone woods wait until you open that can of worms in a drum subreddit 😂 loved the creativity of the build! Great stuff as always, rob.
"This one's going to be sharp too."
"GOOD."
That part with the gift to the camera guy was so wholesome!
I know!
surprised their wasn't any St. anger jokes in here lmao.
THATS WHAT IM SAYIN!
Well that's because the snare wasn't a trashcan, only the kick drum was
The St. Anger snare drum sounds more like a cooking pot than a trash can. I love the album nonetheless.
Because this snare drum sounds like an average 80s snare. The St. Anger snare is the exact opposite of sounding like a tom with tons of reverb in it, it's ringy.
literally the first thing I searched for in the comment section LOL
Imagining the absolute meltdown Glenn Fricker would have were this brought into his studio.
lol, that guy is such a diva!
I'd pay to see that 😂
Glenn would shit himself and be like
“Really? Bring a BETTER FUCKING DRUMSET!”.
@@SlyHikari03 "Sorry man, we used all our money for the good kush and beer. My brother made me this set tho..."
I died laughing imagining this!
As a drummer of about 15 years, this is both awesome and hurts tremendously
As a pianist, I think the Sca-Taylor 'piano' build hurt more.
I been drumming since I was 14 now I’m 23
I new i would hate this video the second he said they didnt need to tune
@@nickolassmith8759 very cool Nickolas
@@maggiepie8810 The guitar and drums resemble and function like the instruments. The piano was something else lol
"Oh i didn't plan to two kick drums"
"Neither did they"
got me ROFL
Rob: "Doesnt sound amazing but does sound like a snare"
The snare: BVVVVVV
The Lars Ulrich, St. Anger Deluxe with “better snare this time” set.
Ice cold XD
Hehe
Taking "my kick sounds like garbage" to a whole new meaning
When Rob said Sca-Taylor would be available in every major retailer soon ..He meant at Home Depot or Lowes isle 12 between screen doors and DIY plumbing accessories
Some assembly required...
@@robertevans7534 Parts sold seperately
*Lars and James assembling the drum kit for St. Anger circa 2002*
Nah, way too few metal barrels around.
The thin plastic drum sound was on "...and Justice for All", their best album that could've sounded so much better.
there it is, there's the joke i was looking for!
Well I mean, at least this kit has a decent snare. More than Lars can say
Naaa, the Sca-Taylor snare sounds WAY better than the one of St. Anger
Damn, that snare is a testament to how good you guys can craft the things if it were not for the time constraints. The overall build was pretty good but that snare was just totally a different league.
I know this comment is old but i think if they wood have just made wooden shells for all the drums they could have done it if they planned for it from the start
@@risharddaniels1762 it's been a while so my memory's a bit hazy so apologies in advance if I get something wrong.
This was just a fun project for them, learning how to make an instrument without experience or proper tools for it. Plus they weren't just going to use prebuilt kits as it would defeat the purpose. Thus, even with the pre-planning, they likely would not be able to get proper drums made, the snare took them a lot time and they could not even implement one of it's core features so imagine how much time the bigger pieces would've needed. If they tried to do it properly, the time constraint would've defeated them. They might've just made cubes if they went that route.
@@prohunter717 oh yeah I definitely wasn’t expecting them to be master drum craftsmen, but they only made 1 failure snare before making the good one, so i think if they would have had the idea to do all the drum shells like that at home depot, they could maybe have cranked out a full set of shells. It’s a great display of resourcefulness considering the time constraints and whatnot. The square shells definitely woulda been faster
@@risharddaniels1762 well, here's to hoping Rob does a professional follow up like the guitar or even having "Sca-Taylor" revisiting the instruments at a later date to see how much they have improved from their last experiences.
25:15 this is so perfect almost looks like a planned bit. favorite moment by far.
What was so perfect? The apple joke?
Ask Jared from Drumeo to come over and don't even say a thing about the kit.
Nah, 66Samus
Both
I love how you dedicated an entire "scene" to justify Rob holding a coffee cup in the next shot xD 20:31 Definitely adds to the feel of being along for the ride.
Lol, I love how he decides to get that coffee immediately after talking about the cider.
I wanna see you guys revisit this using the snare construction concept for all the drums. That'd be interesting.
Sca-Taylor Guitars' "Me and Simon, Mostly Simon" drum line-up is looking hot.
Omg, Jake getting the chess board was the best part
His voice when Rob told him he already paid for it!! Such genuine joy
Yes! Also "You didn't have to do that, man" - "Deal with it" that response is just perfect, I'm gonna start using it
the next album in a day should be recorded exclusively on sca-Taylor products
With Rick Riffson as the album promoter.
i have a feeling they will 100% have them there honestly
Sca-taylor banjo??
Poor Andrew
400th like
Can't wait to see Jessica get on this kit. That should be a hoot.
If Sca-Taylor isn't endorsing First Of October, I'm going to be disappointed
that chess board moment is wholesome af
I loved the "deal with it" in response to "aw you didn't have to do that"
I like Simon. He seems like a chill friend to have
When I was a kid around 9 or 10 I built my first drum kit similar to this one: washing powder box (tube) as kick, using the lid as head, a tambourine as snare (also got some wires attached actually ON the single head below) and some metal lids from whatever it was mounted on tripods as cymbals. Got a "real" hihat, too. No toms. Built also a kick pedal out of wood but with a "real" mechanism (spring-loaded to pull it up but pull-down was made with some fabric screwed to a wood plate). Sounded terrible but with a single (!) stereo mic mounted to the snare I got a real powerful and compressed sound overall. Man, that were really good times!
Okay but in all honesty all jokes aside that snare is actually really impressive !
20:05 accidentally drinking hard cider. such an adult thing to do
8:24 that transition is unnecessarily clean I actually went back to rewatch it
i’m confused
@@zackglickert4495 me too..
Lmao
We need a Sca-Taylor acoustic guitar model now. Sca-Coustics lol
Ladies and gentleman, Rob Scallon. Who within 5 minutes of each other said: "You don't have to tune them". And "Tighten them down, get them right in tune."
*Shrugs in Guitarist*
Not even going to lie I have played kits that sound MUCH worse.
Oof really? The bass drum sound was solid though
@@Clinterus did you read what he put?
Amen sister!
fuckin SAME xD
That snare drum is actually a work of art, I'm impressed.
I'm a little surprised they didn't get the hihat closer to be honest. They used brass pipe and (essentially) a wooden dowel which has been cored which works for the lower hat. I'm surprised they didn't just clone the kick pedal and run it to a threaded rod from the hardware store fit inside the brass pipe and use some washers and nuts to secure the top hihat. Honestly could have gotten pretty close to a legit hihat that way.
I like how rob scallon videos are always like “oh yeah robs really talented and his friend is somehow also incredibly talented”
The snare is such an amazing redemption of this whole thing
I can't tell a difference between this kit and Slipknot's kit.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING LOL
Jays or joeys?
@@Dogbreeder-op7kb yes
Just needs some 55 gallon drums
R.I.P Joey
This is awesome. As someone who always loved making “drum sets” out of buckets and pans before I got one when I was 12 this hits a special place in my heart. The snare is cool as heck.
This series is really funny to me. I’m both a guitar player and a percussionist. I also have built drums before and I’m learning to build guitars and violins now. They keep getting so close, but are just missing those little things that make an instrument playable and let it sound nice. Things like a bearing edge. And tuning adjustments with cinches on a rope tuned drum. And actually tuning a drum.
I think a Sca-Taylor trumpet or horn would be immense
Ska-Taylor
I am loving Rob’s combover here. Must be too hot to wear that ridiculous hat. Don’t be insecure about your head, yo. You’re a goddamned beautiful man and a brilliant musician. And evidently a master builder.
I was surprised to see Rob pull off a surprisingly good gravity blast at 21:57
"The highest hat". Just too good.
When he dropped the cymbal I really felt that.
Edit: Fuck he dropped it again.
Edit 2: Not again!
that's how I felt watchng this too
If you listen closely, you can hear the cries from drummers when they hear the sound of the kick drum
I mean its a kick, but drum? That snare is solid tho.
Oh wow! At the age of like 9-10 I heard on radio that drummer of RCHP started drumming on suitcases. And I had large suitcases at my grandma's house, almost like pirate chest sized suitcases back from the 50s. I used one as a kick drum and smaller one as a snare. And for a kick drum pedal I used a brick and hammer, stick a brick to your suitcase and press hammers handle with your foot. Thin rebar for drumsticks and scrap metal for cymbals. And other objects lol, boxes, wood planks, buckets. That was really fun! Several years later I picked up a guitar and still playing. But drumming is sort of my dream from that times. And now I'm 31
I love the snare design! The one thing I wish you all would’ve done is bevel the bearing edges of it. Would’ve made a world of difference!
Sca-Taylor Guitars is now Sca-Taylor Drums? They're slowly building an entire Sca-Taylor band
They make Ska-Taylor music.
Real competition for Gretsch right here
that snare is actually pretty impressive
totally! it looks beautiful esp with being able to see the way the wood was bent at the bottom of the drum
Auction it for charity and I think you could get a decent amount for it.
For real. I was surprised.
These videos of Rob and Simon making stuff are AWESOME!
I love how the parents come and rob just acts like a child showing his dad what he just built with lego.
I can't believe that you even made that guitar with no experience nevermind drums!
well Rob plays music. it's not like they're starting from scratch
I love this building from scratch videos, but more than that, i absolutely love these video collaborations with Simon, the three of you make such an amazing vibe its amazing.
23:02 "Doesn't sound amazing, but it does sound like a snare."
*_FART SOUND_*
😂🤣
That snare is seriously impressive. I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought there's no way they made that.
I appreciate that the Rob's colour coordinated their outfits for the recording session. Really speaks to the high quality we've all come to expect of the Sca-Taylor experience.
You should sell these under the Sca-Taylor brand as "Jank-o-saurus Rex"
I absolutely love these DIY instrument videos
I love how everything looks so jank and homemade, besides the snare I love it
I hope this project is just as potentially injurious as the first.
I can't wait for Sca-Taylor to get into woodwind/brass instruments. I bet Rob would be better at building a saxophone than he was at playing one :P
(and, hey, if you're all-in on Sca-Taylor and getting rid of all your conventional guitars, I know just where you can send them :P)
blue man group style instruments :D
That would make him SKA Taylor
@@experimetalfan8851 Oh no
Honestly the best part of this was seeing Rob and Rasheed's reaction to the Drum kit. Also I was cracking up about the accidental drinking, I have definitely done that 😂.
You have defiled the guitar!! now the drums too?!?!? is nothing sacred anymore!??
Love it Rob!!!
the bass, as always
[famous Italian voice]: bASS!
I love how most of it looks like the kind of drum kit a Cenobite would use, and then there’s just an actual snare.
That was incredible Rob!!
I love everyone Rob features. They're all such cool people
Mom's are the best. Impressed with everything.
"I'm so amazed by circles today." - Rob Scallon
This is the greatest series he’s done, imho. Love Adam Savage and instruments :D
I love that this has the same energy as making dumb stuff with my friends when we were kids. It's oddly nostalgic
Next, make a microphone that cuts your hand when you hold it
"This is a thing that drummers do"
The chessboard was quite wholesome.
This looks really fun, by the way, minus the heat!
I love how dangerous looking this is. That ride looks like there should be a noose hanging from it and there’s a literal sawblade just freely swinging from a string. But it works and the snare is great!
You inspire me Rob. There are many fantastic musicians out there on CZcams, other social media and mainstream but none inspire me more than you! Thank you for putting forth such incredible content video after video. Maybe one day I'll have the courage to do the same.
Loving this kind of videos, I'm waiting for the full line of music instruments
*THIS* is the quality content I've come to enjoy from Rob Scallon and the crew! 8-D
That was one of the most entertaining things Ive seen on YT. And I was brought here through total chance.
Next up, sca-taylor banjos.
Seriously though I love this video idea!
followed by the Sca-Taylor Pipe Organ
@@justrecentlyi5444 and sca-taylor harps
@@olliepackman199 then sca-taylor amplifiers for the guitars.
The beginning of the song sounds like Restin' Bones by Primus!
The kit that hits back!
I have to mention the test that, that's super awesome of you guys!
Rob “There’s gonna be a lot of sharp edges on this one too...”
Simon (w/o hesitation) “Good!”
😂
if you sampled both of the kicks and blended them together I think it'd actually sound pretty damn good
This is by far my favorite CZcams channel.
These guys just feel like true best friends just dicking around and I love it
WOW!
"There's gonn be a lot of sharp edges on this one too"
"Good."
Thank you for the huge lesson in humility!
Great video, great vibes!
Content idea: if you are able to do First of October this year, you should pick your personal favorite song and turn it into a low budget music video. Could make for a good blog.
