so what we're going to do today is basically build a tenor practice pad kit there's a lot of kids that go online and I figured well I mean it's basically rubber plywood and it's painted so I cannot figure this thing out myself so I've been doing a little bit of research my son plays in the band and he plays snare he plays tenor sorry for the brief pause there but we basically have everything we need here to make a tenor practice pad kit and you know like I said before we got our plywood I'm doing some drawing out some circles right now we're going to do a standard Tanner kit which is um from what I research at least you know go on a guitar center in another local music store was basically eight ten twelve fourteen for China there's some with 13 but you know he plays he plays five in the percussion band so we're going to go ahead and basically trim this wood up a little bit and you know trim the rubber we have here and this is probably a total cost of 20 bucks maybe for the entire set so we're going to go ahead and a cut a little wood and I'm going to go ahead and catch back up with you guys here in a couple minutes alright so next step here is um basically you know I did my measurements and it's kind of hard to see here but I have a blade here so i'ma go ahead and cut through this rubber with displayed and I took a basically a ten I'm sorry an 8 inch plate is the plate and you can you know basically drawing out the circle if you can have something that like a plate or anything that mimics almost exactly what you're trying to do or you can always just start off measuring from a center and then measure out half of what the circle is so you know for example if you had a 10-inch circle you know you'd measure out five North East East South and West and you know you have the exact angles of the circle and what you'd have to do is actually draw you know your connection from here to here so kind of what I mean there's like you start here you know let's say on a 10-inch circle you'd go five inches to the right five inches to the left five inches up and five inches down and then basically you'd have to draw your angle and it doesn't have to be perfect I mean we're just this is kind of a home any project but um I'm gonna go ahead and cut this out with this knife and we'll pick up from there so if you basically have any interest in what's going on still I cut out two paths and I did that both at the 8 inch 8 inch circle so I have them both here they're not perfect that's fine I'm using this to practice so I don't know anything about drums so I'm not going to act like I do so but I do know one thing is I you know I'm dropping this about here about weight waist level and I'm noticing the bounce is a lot better with the wood obviously and it's a lot more like wider so I went ahead and cut two out I want you to listen the difference between 1/2 so what I'll do is to compare two to one everything over here move my rubber over that's compared quickly 10 Ewing on we go ahead and we have our half of our big Tom's and I cut those at 12 inches so we have 12 inch circle basically circumference diameter and these are six inches of piece yep well buddy these actually we have two we're going to stick one of these on top of one another so we're going to go ahead and move this over here so this is kind of what it's going to look like some we'll go ahead and get back to work and start cutting this up and I'm going to show you how that's right buddy it's gonna be something like that so we're going to go stick that there so we're pretty close to being done but um I think this needs to be angled just a little bit more yeah so it's something like that and I'll post a picture here in a second so you can kind of see what one looks like here's where out right now so we made our cutouts and you know like I said it's basically a quarter inch plywood and we have some truck liner which is really just it's really just rubber so my no sorry about that my kid plays he's always trying out for Tanner but he's played tenor before and snare and bass mostly a bunch of other percussion instruments and whatnot but I think I'm going to go ahead and maybe put another put another pad maybe put another one here but let's go and test this test it out we're gonna go ahead and test it out we're going to cut the wood and everything and you know we're going to glue it down so we're going to test it out with five just kind of see what it feels like so like I said I don't know about drums but I do today all right moving on so what we have here is a tenor practice pad drum set and right now this is actually only the first layer and I was trying to figure out exactly how to get this on this you know on this quarter quarter inch board and over here on this one I kind of super glued it and it sticks pretty decent here and these are just kind of stapled down you see how they're kind of popping up but I'm gonna put another pad I have more pads here so I put a second layer because of one layer obviously from the video earlier Zanna still kind of sounds like wood so we put a second layer on each one now similar like that and those ones when I put them on I'm going to superglue them down with a lot so they should hold really really good and we'll pick it up from there so I'm going to I'm going to try to figure out if I want to either cut this trim out you know and maybe have a couple pieces joined maybe a connection here where there's wood there and then you know I have a centerpiece but I need to figure out a way to put this on a snare stand or something to where you could practice on it so the the pads are glued on now and what I'm going to do is I'm going to end up painting this I basically took a snare stand and I flipped it upside down to kind of fit the plywood and it sounds ridiculous but you know that's ingenuity right there so I will go ahead and give it a test run all right so let's go ahead and test it out you know 100 times yeah look let's feed you and this is the final result so I went ahead and painted everything black and I got it mounted on a pad kit I got a bolt right there holding everything on little bit of rubber around it so that uh you know in case it gets hit with a stick and here's your snare stand so I'm not sure if he's going to play that pad on that stand but I figure what the hell would be a cool option so there you go you
