We tested some weird tictok drum hacks last time, so I decided to take us back a couple decades. Most of these have been forgotten about over time, but some actually work really well. "Vibra-Fibing," or the process of adding fiberglass to the inside of a drum shell is something that was done to make drums more reflective and add resonance. Neil Peart, drummer of RUSH, had a couple this done to a couple of his drum sets back in the day, so I really wanted to give this one a shot. Speaking of resonance, theres a rumor that John Bonham, drummer of Led Zeppelin, lined his bass drum with aluminum foil. No one really knows if did this or not, or even the purpose, but this hack really tightened up the kick drum and made it less "tubey." Broken cymbals are all too common. One way to repair them is to drill a hole at the end of the crack to stop them from spreading. Unfortunately this is just a temporary fix as the cracks will most likely spread. Ringo Starr, drummer for The Beatles, is famously known for putting tea towels on his drums to mute, muffle, and dampen them to get a more dead sound. And finally, I had to test putting a piece of wood underneath your snare drum to see if it makes it more responsive/louder/snarier. This one didnt seem to do much... Testing OLD SCHOOL Drum Hacks
