@@grangesaves33 Its genuinely unfair, how australians can just shout about things and automatically be funny. Half of my youtube feed is just aussies doing random stuff and its infinitely more entertaining than other nationalities

Over any instrument I've picked up, I'd rate drums as the most fun to learn. If you get the inclination, check your local mom & pop music store. They more than likely have a decent kit with full hardware ready to go for questionably cheap, because they're literally dying for your business.
Wade has such a collection of holy grail professional cymbals i would die to own and play, and still ends up using the most cursed setup for every video lol.
I know. It really makes me feel inadequate. I just like telling kids fun facts that I know but getting them interested and teaching them HOW to understand it is something I struggle with, especially with math and reading. Social studies and science and stuff is easier for me.
this video is unironically the best way ive ever seen someone teach an instrument, makes me want to learn drums like i wanted to as a kid but never could
I traded a guitar for a full acoustic set after light rock band the video game experience at about age 30. I don't think you're too late. Just bought my spouse (31) a bass. If it's fun you're never too late.
Same, I pivoted to bass once the barrier of entry regarding finances and available space at home was apparent though. I would've been a happy camper with the Jin-Baos lmao.
It really takes a lot of experience to be able to pretend you're new. Learning to drum is still on the back on my mind for a "one day" thing, and I didn't know I needed this.
do it! for me, it was a bit weird at first, but after a couple weeks it just clicked. and it's really easy to improve by yourself with all the resources online nowadays. only sucks that it's one of the more expensive instruments to play
@ yeah it's mostly price time and noise that has limited me. I'm a student who will try a new hobby and then forget I tried it, while having spent money on equipment. A cheap electric kit would solve two of the issues but I can't justify it until I really get motivated.
@@Suzumi-kun Get almost everything second-hand, really. It's crazy how cheap you can find stuff, and most of it can last decades. Stuff from the 80s isn't any worse than stuff from today (sometimes it's better, actually)
Try both acoustic and electric and see what works, it's subjective untill a certain point. Nothing beats the tactile experience of an acoustic but they are very impractical if you don't have space or noise dampening. But like someone said, you can literally teach yourself anything on the internet for free these days... The hardest part is motivation and responsibility...
I think the best part of this is just watching a professional listen to a track and immediately know what tones and style it needs. It’s like he has a degree in this or something!
Do I play the drums? No. Do I intent to at some point? Not as far as I know of! Did I watch the whole entire video and enjoy every second of it? Hell yeah you best believe I did!
The best advice my college drum teacher gave me was to relax. Every time before I played, he forced me to take three huge breaths before I could touch the instruments, and there was always a different
@@johnlagoss5932 I’ve been playing live gigs since I was 12 years old and on all different types of percussion (mostly Latin percussion and jazz drum set but I also did mallet percussion for a ballet company out of Boston).

The term ‘feel’ is tossed around a bunch in the drumming world and I think that being relaxed contributes greatly to having good ‘feel’
As a someone whos been a part of surf lifesaving all his life, seeing the loud drum man in a patrol shirt and bunnings core hat really hit me in the nostalgia harder than james taking the head off the golf. Bonus points if thats your actual patrol shirt
i showed some of your stuff to a coworker of mine who's a professional drummer he looked so horrified that I was gonna turn it off, but he was like "Wait no, I have to see this through" with this sort of grim look on his face
I'm in awe of your ability to digest and explain such a complicated set of instruments in such a simple, beginner-friendly way. You're legitimately an amazing teacher.
God, PLEASE more videos JUST like this. I was in Marching band, jazz band, and symphonic band until I left school. I was 1st chair percussion and loved every second of it, and have missed it ever since. My current living situation doesn't allow me to have drums and relearn what I knew back then, but I still have such a love for the techniques and theory behind percussion. This video scratched an itch even more than your other drum thing videos. Please make more going into technique and things like this!
As a bassist, this was super interesting to me. It really helps me understand what drummers are doing beyond just the placement and loudness of the notes.
I send this to my dad also a drum teacher for 40years. Retirement now but he got a drumkit at home so now he can finally learn it to me. never had one at home when I was little, 33 now😅 Gonna keep the notes in the pocket mate love from the Netherlands.
Wade I don't know how but you manage to make anything you talk about so interesting. I'm not remotely into cars and I love your car channel. I don't play an instrument and I love your drum channel. I do love manky old nugget tech though. Love ya bud, keep it up. Your content is S tier.
This is why I love this channel. I just graduated with my B.A. in Music (Bass is my instrument) and it's stuff like this that you can really see that Dank is just a constant student to his craft and is SENSATIONALLY educated. I appreciate it and see a lot of myself in it. Party on, good sir! o7
I’ve been drumming since I was six years old with no real lessons. I’ve had some partial lessons or trials with teachers, but none of them really worked out. They’re just so darn expensive. So I’ve been drumming self taught for over 8 years now. I’ve definitely had my stumps, but I feel like at this point I’ve mastered my own style and technique. I obviously still follow the basic laws and practices of normal style of drumming but I’ve also mastered a few things that make me unique. And I think that’s the best part about the drums. There’s so many different configurations and ways you can master your playing. The first time I actually learned how to play a rock beat properly with your original video for this channel. And I just want you to know that you inspired me to keep drumming and now I’ve even upgraded my kit. I know I have a very long way to go, but I believe I could make a career out of this possibly in the near future!
Last year I stopped learning the drums after 6 years because I struggled with the exact same „why doesn’t it sound right?“. The was you explained these things like „Cobra Foot“ and not putting enough pressure in the high hat is brilliant. Thanks for giving me the confidence it continue with the Drums. :)
Ive been playing the drums for about 15 years now and I've never considered the drums as individual indtruments basically put together for one person to use. It gave me a whole new perspective on drums! Thanks alot!
I played a decent Roland electric kit recently using your rock beat as a guide. All of your beginner things were so true for me haha. I still couldn't get over the kick drum hovering, I felt the need to avoid keeping the dingus(?) in contact. It was just for fun and mainly just getting my brain to know where my arms were lol
Thank you so much for this!! After talking to you on patreon I got myself a drum kit and became a self taught metal drummer but I was never getting really the sound I wanted even though I was sure I was hitting the correct notes. (Which was kinda your fault if you think about it, how dare you telling me to learn a new instrument!) Now I know why, also thanks to you
i just wanna take a second and say wade, thanks for everything you do. Im picky about my youtube intake since its been my main form of entertainment since i was a child, and anything from you is always top tier. I dont play drums at all but ive been playing bass for 5 years and recording/producing for 1, so now im binging these to learn more about drumming to improve my songwriting. Godspeed, Dank Man.
This has been very entertaining diving back into the non dankpods videos, and especially as a drummer I love the boring time stuff, it's filling gaps in my knowledge. Keep it up! 🤘
As a person who has ONLY ever played electric this was a real eye-opener, especially about the rimshot, I though it was something completely different! Thanks mate!
Loving this type of content. As a drummer for 3 years and a drum teacher for 3 months (I'm 17 btw) I really find these videos helpful. Keep them coming please🙏💪
Your videos inspired me to start drumming, bought a cheapo squire kit on eBay and some new heads. I hope you can post most of these informative type video. Not like full on tutorials but just seeing your approach and hearing about your mindset is beyond helpful for how I learn. I can tell you used to be a teacher by your tone and understanding of how to present this information, so much better than most of the dedicated "how to play drums" channels.
wade i watch all your videos across all of your channels, and i wanna let you know i love the drum thing. im in college rn for violin performance, know nothing about drums. these videos are awesome. so glad you started posting drum content!!
You're a great drum teacher! Wish I had a video like this when I was younger. I remember one time during tests in school band I was the only percussionist who would perform technically correct because none of the others learned to actually read music but they all snickered because my performance sounded like crap. Practiced, practiced, practiced, but took me years until I actually established a relationship with my instruments and things clicked.
he is the only one to take all my attention, i love rock/metal music so i hear a lot of drums and cymbals as well and before him i didn't knew shet. now i can clearly hear them and vibe along lol, and "boring time" is never boring, it's helpful ;)
by far the best explanation i've seen, people want to view drums at just whacking the drums but there is a ton on nuance even to playing hard. Also hadn't thought about my crap beginner hihats that used to flip inside out in like 20yrs lol
You know, whenever you talked about teaching this kind of thing I always wondered how, you always seem so high energy and I thought those lessons would go off topic fast but... I get it now, you are incredibly good at it.
Hey man, I just wanned to say that i’ve picked up playing the drums some time last year, and your content played a part in me making this decision. Just wanted to say keep doing what ure doing, you are a pillar of the community. Cheers m8
Please make more of these. This is amazing. Best way to learn. Best teacher. Best everything. You really made me want to learn drums, and I am doing it, and I only want to learn from you
Thank you Wade for reigniting my love of drumming, thanks to you I've discovered the wonderful world of second-hand cymbals. I recently got my first acoustic kit for gigs (I have to play edrums in my flat) and my band released it's first song, with an album coming this year. (Also I finally got good headphones, though that's more of a dankpods thing)
This is so true. Technique is the #1 way to improve. I’ve been playing drums for 4 years, and I’m still working on my technique. I’m much more of a metal drummer, and technique matters just as much. Blast beats, gravity blasts, double strokes on the pedals, it all takes so much. Great advice goober Australian guy!!!
I've played drums on & off for more than a decade, and even I learned a thing or two from this one. One favorite trick I do was opening the hi-hat ever so slightly as I hit the snare. It was a thing Roger Taylor often do to accentuate the snare. It's also a good exercise hand-foot coordination. Ps. The fact Wade's playing a Jin Bao kit and a bootleg cymbal among his other set of cymbals, and still make it sound crisp really proves it's all down to how you setup your kit.
I've played drums (as a lazy hobby) for over 20 years. I've NEVER heard anyone articulate this point so clearly. So cool to get drum lessons from the Dankpods man.
Its really interesting that each part of the drum is like its own instrument, i think i'm sort of used to thinking that would be boring because "whats the point of something you get one sound out of", when really like even with bongos you can get a whole range of dynamics, and i think thats really the funest part about playing an instrument. For example on piano, you can play it lightly and have a beautiful harmonic pretty sound, or you can hammer those keys! It really is like expressing yourself through the instrument because its like you can feel it
why does that fit go so hard though
Because he's the God of Dingusland
he's got that probably venomous in nature drip
It’s the most violently Aussie fit I’ve ever seen
Aussies somehow have it in their blood how to wear things so unstylish that they become extremely stylish again.
Cause minus the socks, thats just every Aussie/NZ beach lifeguard...
A Drum Thing video? I get to watch funny australian man talk about something I know little about
omg someone else who referd to him as funny austalian man
@@chairgaming1997 I've also referred to him as disembodied australian hands, but I feel like that wasn't appropriate for this video
to talk with GREAT ENTHUUSIAZMS!!!!

I'm completely tone deaf and I still love his videos. 😅
I always find "boring time" to be very captivating. Wade's a really good teacher
BORING TIME IS THE BEST TIME!
he was probably a ton of Kids' favourite teacher
Boring time is never boring for me
Yes! It baffles me why the average person thinks knowing and learning things is somehow bad or embarrassing.
@@robertbreedlovecraft it even looks like he worked as a teacher or smth xD
As a professional never-touched-drums-before guy, this has been invaluable for me to continue to never touch the drums. thank you Wade!
@@WinnieBlue He actually inspired me to steal my brothers electronic drum kit so that i can touch them once and forget about it
Edit: Not really, one of my closest friends started praticing bass guitar and i wanna play with him
Relatable
Indeed.

If you get the inclination, check your local mom & pop music store. They more than likely have a decent kit with full hardware ready to go for questionably cheap, because they're literally dying for your business.
I literally teach drums for a living, and this instruction is incredible! The hi-hat pedal is my favorite part of the video.
Petition for this outfit to be the go-to outfit for The Drum Thing moving forward. You probably can't go more iconic than that now.
hard agree
WorksOfMagic spotted
God, please. I screamed because this outfit was so good
I can tell Wade was everyone's favourite teacher at the schools he worked at
I would trust this man with my car keys, I mean look at his sunny summer socks and wizardly hat
@Panzer_Tracks I legit said this to myself unironically after looking at the video again-
Don’t look at Garbage Time if that’s the case
Just dont trust him with your car.
Until he makes an oil change using Eggnog 😆
I get it's just a joke, but sorcery is evil and warned against by God, it is sin
Wade has such a collection of holy grail professional cymbals i would die to own and play, and still ends up using the most cursed setup for every video lol.
It's part of encouraging people to try the drums iirc. He uses the Jin Baos as drums, and manky cymbals he got for cheap (like the cracked ones)
I don’t want to make people think that you need ace gear to have fun/ sound good. Tune em up and hit em!
@@the.drum.thing.Would be nice to hear the expensive gear occasionally
Don't make the cymbals an idol friend! Don't say "I would die for"
It's easy to see why Wade was a teacher, he's phenomenal at explaining things in an easy to understand way.
I know. It really makes me feel inadequate. I just like telling kids fun facts that I know but getting them interested and teaching them HOW to understand it is something I struggle with, especially with math and reading. Social studies and science and stuff is easier for me.
Wade, whenever you say “boring time” I get prepared to be the most interested and least bored I’ve ever been. Keep up the great work man!
this video is unironically the best way ive ever seen someone teach an instrument, makes me want to learn drums like i wanted to as a kid but never could
also thanks for the new songs for me to add to playlists lol
I traded a guitar for a full acoustic set after light rock band the video game experience at about age 30. I don't think you're too late. Just bought my spouse (31) a bass. If it's fun you're never too late.
you can start off with a practice pad and play along to songs you like for pretty cheap and figure out if you enjoy it
Same, I pivoted to bass once the barrier of entry regarding finances and available space at home was apparent though. I would've been a happy camper with the Jin-Baos lmao.

Wade is a legend!
You gotta do more of these. I genuinely learned a fair amount and was entertained
Woah. I got the notification for this video as I was practicing the basic rock beat that Wade also taught me through this channel.
Socks and sandals are already an insane combo but playing the drums with them? Someone stop this madman.
Man I love these history bits as a drum/music student myself!
I played a decent Roland electric kit recently using your rock beat as a guide. All of your beginner things were so true for me haha. I still couldn't get over the kick drum hovering, I felt the need to avoid keeping the dingus(?) in contact. It was just for fun and mainly just getting my brain to know where my arms were lol
> the dingus(?)
you mean the beater?
Was fortunate enough to pass a New Orleans jazz parade when I was there this past spring - incredible city from top to bottom
As a beginner drummer who can't stand most tutorials or people explaining drums this is a god send. Thank you

Love the shoe/sock combo there feller. Keep it up
I've played drums (as a lazy hobby) for over 20 years. I've NEVER heard anyone articulate this point so clearly. So cool to get drum lessons from the Dankpods man.
relaxed, confident in what you're playing, and understand that each drum makes more than one sound, and how to get those sounds out of them.
I love how Wade is a professional drummer, but at the same time is so good at imitating beginners 😂 that takes extra talent
Its really interesting that each part of the drum is like its own instrument, i think i'm sort of used to thinking that would be boring because "whats the point of something you get one sound out of", when really like even with bongos you can get a whole range of dynamics, and i think thats really the funest part about playing an instrument.
For example on piano, you can play it lightly and have a beautiful harmonic pretty sound, or you can hammer those keys! It really is like expressing yourself through the instrument because its like you can feel it
i really didn't know you were a drummer til my friend told me about it, that's so cool!
You can tell he's a teacher, and the fact that it captures your attention means he's a good one
I love watching random things about the instrument that I love
