recomendations for making a EVH drill

[El Chiguete]

If he put one out that cost $500 and makes you play just like him..... I DON'T CARE jejeje. I would like to know if you guys ha any recomendations for one that I could buy in the hardware store and make my self one.

A drill? Like at the start of "Poundcake" or what Paul Gilbert uses?

I'd have thought any power drill at all would work. Obviously something lighter would be better, rather than trying to use something like the hammer drill I have for DIY.

But I've never tried it, so I don't know.

Well the original was a blue Makita...so go with an older 12 volt Makita'
at a garage sale...and stripe it red/white! Should put you back about
$45

well, if you use a DeWalt, you will get a yellow sound...

[Axewielder]

You'll need to put a variac on the drill to get the right sound, though.

Go into your mother's/sister's/wife's/female roommate's bedroom and check by her nightstand or dresser for something that may look like an electric toothbrush w/o a brush on it. It might smell funny or have some residue on it. Don't worry, wipe all that off and use it like EVH would.

Hell no.....Don't even think of using the colors red, white or black. Those colors are trademarked. Once the final coats dry, you will recieve a "Cease and Desist" letter. I don't know how Makita still gets away with selling that drill!!

I use a cheapo 7.2 volt...Dewalt I believe. I have not painted it yet. HEHEHE. I use it like Gilbert. A dowel rod split with two picks epoxied in. You can turn it side ways and do some wicked slide effects too. I bust it out when I am really drunk and stupid and make my other guitarist look like he knows what he is doing.
