Testing 5 Drum Hacks That I Saw on YouTube

Today we'll be testing out 5 drum hacks that I found on YouTube. First, a way to make a soft bass drum beater out of a microphone windscreen. Then a simple way to make a DIY cymbal sizzle with an old drum head. Third, a clever way to make a drum pad sound more like an actual snare drum. Fourth, a trick to give your bass drum more attack by using a quarter. And last, a weird hack for cutting the ring out of a snare drum.
