For those who watch my Garbage Time car channel, this is the thing I drove 16 hours for and killed original Bruce the ute last year. Adelaide to Melbourne to Adelaide again in one shot, Bruce did it perfect. Next day, Bruce didn't want to play anymore. That huge canopy back transported this kit perfectly as it came with it's original drum bags too! But RIP to Bruce, thanks for helping save this kit 👍 (yes I did drive to Bendigo last week for another kit in Bruce 2, video coming whenever.)
Now all you need to do is strap them to a steel rotating platform and replace the throne with a racing car seat and harness and do a 360 solo upside down
Wade is such a legend. Wins big on crypto > Doesn't flaunt it with a yacht or something stupid > Gives back to the music community with a museum. > Makes it free to view online
Ngl mate, this is probably the best home this place will go. From one passionate drummer to another, and being preserved by someone who loves the past of drumming. Just don't go cymbal tossing with it.
Yes. Private museum? If it go to a private person with the credibility? Sure safer for the thing being guarded and cared for by a private keeper. And giving a link to the Dankpods channel and all the other stuff? It might actually do a better job at this museum then literately anywhere else with his track record. If just more collectors where this wholesome and giving. I have no idea what he just said about the drum set. But it is very clear that this private museum is going to give as much as it can to people. To enjoy and learn. Not just hoard and keep it private in the sense of being selfish. I just hope the cymbal tossing and car abuse is not going to cause problems in the future. And the dog Frank? It is stuck in a water tank and do nothing all day! What kind dog owner dose that? Clearly the dog is broken. ;9
My gosh, I can't imagine how happy Helen must have felt hearing that her husband's custom kit was going into a museum. You couldn't ask for a better fate.
Hi there it's Helen, and yeah I was so happy to finally find someone who would appreciate my late partner's kit, I was determined it wasn't going to just anyone and 2 years later along came Wade, yep I waited 2 years lol but I'm glad I did
On behalf of music producers and drum nerds everywhere, THANK YOU for planning to make the audio samples of all these vintage or weird drums available, especially for free.
The importance of Pearl hardware from that era can't be overstated. Prior to then, drum hardware was mostly chintzy or ridiculous expensive. Was never a fan of their drums, but their hardware changed the game.
I'm in Sydney Australia and my first serious kit I bought in 1994, it was a German made Sonor Force 3000, 5 piece kit with excellent hardware. I added Zildjian K series hats, 16'' & 18'' crash, 18'' China & 20'' ride. That year, after tax my weekly take home pay was $360. The Sonor kit was just over $4000 and would you believe the Zildjian K's came to a total of $2300. Add in a set of cases and suddenly it's $7000. I could have bought a USA Fender Stratocaster and a Marshall JCM 900 with a cabinet, and gone on a holiday with the change.
Hardware is gotta be Hardware. As all of us know good Hardware makes set up so easy at gigs. From rack to stand set-ups each to there own if comfortable. Now let's play something together. Expense and yeah it's heavey to cart unless couple of traps case's with wheels helps heaps.
Nice bro I've the Pearl DX series and still got that for live kit . DWTimeLess oak series 6 piece kit timber was dredged out a river in the Parhethain Mountains i belive . Neil was my idel sorry fellow drumers the late Dr Neil Pieart the Proffessor I very much believe that after all how the band rush pushed my love for music. The final outcome . How it comes across to others that are listening to us . God bless
As a piano tuner and tech I can tell you that's actually legitimately how the piano was developed lmao The first piano was like 4 or 5 octaves in the late 17th century and they just kept getting bigger, but there were fluctuations in size over time due to a variety of factors, but it took about 180 years for it to hit the modern sizes
I guess that kinda did happen in the 80s when synths and MIDI exploded. The 80s said, "what if a piano sounded like lasers, and had a whammy bar?" And then dropped off heavily again the next decade.
@@oldgoat381 Yeah, the layout of the modern piano seems like the only obvious way it could be (given the conventions of modern western music anyway), but they only settled on it after trying every other piano shaped thing they could think of.
Couldn't help from getting a huge smile on my face when he revealed the drums. They're so ridiculously big, so many drums, so much going on and yet they're so beautiful and they have the gorgeous sound to go with it too, incredible.
Oh, my LORD I started drooling. I always knew 80s drummers just straight up had more to work with on a kit than any other era, but that set left my jaw on the floor. That is a dream, my man, that is a dream.
I know absolutely nothing about drumming and probably around as much about the topics on your other channels, but your passion and excitement talking about them keeps me coming back to learn neat new things! Try and always have fun making videos mate, if you're loving it, we're loving it, trust me on that.
Plus, the content is amazing regardless of what he makes it because he always makes it all feel fun! Ever since i found DankPods i knew i was in for whatever ride the funny nugget man was bringing me on because his videos just brighten days.
This!! I love the way he talks about stuff! He’d make an amazing lecturer about audio/drum stuff (and I guess that’s why he was a drum teacher hahaha)!
1. IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM. But seriously, what an awesome project, cant wait to see how it develops! 2. Huge props to Helen! I hope she's as happy with where it ended up as the kits OG would probably be. 3. God bless the 80s.
God this hits different for me since my grandad was a gig drummer when he was younger and had this kit but it had broken down over time and seeing him play it actually inspired me to take up drums and still have the peddle from the original which i have used since i learned to drum for him I still remember him teaching me the basics and is something i still cherish to this day
Every time I think "yeah nah, Wade's not got any more awesome projects up his sleeve, he's already doing so much" you just have to absolutely blow your last project reveal out of the water. A drum museum? For people to download samples from for free? Man you are truly one of a kind, I absolutely applaud everything you're doing and have done.
Man, I hope Mrs. Helen sees this treasure doing well in good hands. And I hope her late husband is watching from up above, happy to see his set is still going hard and doing what it was made for in the care of this Aussie madlad. You've saved a soul, Wade. Be proud of that! Also, Frank stinks.
Just wanna point out that people like you who get lucky and make some money and then instantly get to work making something you love available for others for free are a rarity and if everyone was like you things would be so much better.
its mostly a matter of opportunity i think. i reckon like half of all people would love to be able to do this kind of thing with the stuff they love most in the world. but very few of us get the chance
I work as a freelance gig photographer and have just woken up after 2 days of getting home at 3am. Sometimes with these long days I just feel like I'm all music'd out and especially don't want to listen to drums after sitting next to them all day haha. But this channel always proves me wrong. It always brings me back to my years in college studying music and I love that. I can't wait to see more videos of the drum museum. Would love to see more full kits being played while there's still enough space for it!!
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I'm a toy collector and my dream is to also have my own private little museum one day, so I get the passion. I'm super glad you got to do this. That kit is an absolute beast and it went to an amazing forever home.
The sneeze transition to the drums....😂😂😂 perfection. I'm sure the man who owned those drums are smiling from Heaven...knowing Wade will treat his set well.
I really appreciate that, as far as I remember, this is the first time you've even mentioned crypto. Too many people get lucky and turn into "gurus". Respect.
Yeah! And unlike many cryptobros (just to note, Dankpods doesn't fit the definition of a cryptobro), he didn't buy expensive cars with them, he bought drums, now that's something I can get behind! As much as I don't like crypto, I have a huge respect for what Dankpods did with his crypto
After watching your cold ones video earlier today, and hearing that you managed to jump onto crypto at just the right time really does make it look like you have incredible luck. Also the kit is really epic!
Maybe you just think nuggets are handsome? My fiancé is extremely scruffy and rough cut and I think he’s the handsomest man in the world. Nuggets can be handsome.
A neighbor I grew up with who became a great studio drummer still has his 1989 Tama Lars Ulrich And Justice For All Kit with signed heads that he took off. He still plays it once in a while. The sound is incredible
You’re a true Robin Hood. Taking from the blockchain and giving to poor drum nerds everywhere! Thank you! This crypto windfall couldn’t have happened to a better person! Much love from Canada! ❤️ 🇨🇦
As someone not too familiar with drums outside this channel, I was looking at the drum kit at first and was like "yeah, I guess that is bigger than a standard kit". It wasn't until the overhead shot of you playing it when I realized "okay, yep, that's that 80's excess"
Those drums literally could not have gone to a better home! Everything I know about drums is from you, and your excitement keeps me sticking around. I can't wait for you to get your museum up and running fully! Good on you mate!
Absolutely beautiful. My eyes watered to behold. I'm so happy that this drum set ended up in your hands. You have immortalized his soul through preserving music.
you've gotta be one of the best people to get a set like that in your care. thank god you got it. hope you continue to treat it with the love and care it deserved, and has been getting.
As someone with no knowledge of drums or music beyond listening to it I always love hearing your talks and i can really tell the passion behind all the madness and drums. Came for the Dankpods but i love these! Makes sense that drums got weird and huge in the 80’s. So cool! This museum and knowledge seems fantastic and I’m glad your able to do all this and make it for the people!
I’m really in to Roger Taylor from Queen. He used massive drums, I’m talking 18 and 20 inch floor toms, 14 inch rack toms, 8 inch deep snare, you name it. It just looks so damn cool!
Man, what a cool kit and a great backstory. Got a little teary eyed when you were talking about the original owner and his widow, hopefully you can invite her down to see the museum one day so she can see the kits new home. You were definitely the right person to save that kit.
I would actually love to see the museum and my late partner's kit, it was a hard decision to sell the kit but I'm glad I waited for the right person to come along, it only took me 2 years lol but that kit wasn't going anywhere until the perfect person came along
This kit is giving me the vibes of Benson's Drum Solo from regular show. Maybe one day the 150 piece kit can be recreated, with the help of the drum thing.
This may be the absolute best video youve posted on any channel. This is incredible. The building, the drums, all of it. I'm so happy your investing your money into unique preservations. It's awesome
That’s an incredible gift to music producers everywhere if you’re going to record them. I’d absolutely keel over with joy if you worked through playing differ break beats on them, You could build out such a special library of rhythms, grooves, fills, and hits ok so much well recorded vintage gear with your set up. That would be an immense gift to music to release for free
matey you must be a wizard because despite my previous lack of drums, cars, ipods, whatevers interest you genuinely somehow made me sitting on the edge of my seat checking my notifications every 5 minutes for a new one of ya videos. i dont get it, i dont even play the drums, but i absolutely adore this as one of my favourite channels ive ever found ever? from one aussie to another: ONYA MATE 👍
daymnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to dream about a set of GLX... I had a DX kit, which I loved. Freaking loudest kit I've ever owned. I miss the kits from the 80's. The sheer volume, attack, and just massive sounds they make. Plus they looked cool. Kit's today look so dainty compared to it. Congrats on the score!
This man has consistently been growing as a creator and seeing his progression from way back has really just proven to me as a musician, I really can make it if I work hard. We love u wade
Thank you, I looked after it for a lot of years before I finally decided to find someone who would love and appreciate it as much as my late partner did, it was 2 years before Wade came along but the wait was worth it
After drumming for four years on and off your channel has seriously reignited my passion for drums... Picked up a gretsch catalina club maple kit off an old teacher for $500 a week ago. Best purchase ever. Please keep making videos. As many as possible. Much love from Arkansas USA.
Thank you, it was a hard decision and I had kept them for many years but I finally decided it was a waste just being in storage, it took me 2 years to find the perfect buyer and then along came Wade, I'm so glad they went to someone who really appreciates them
Everything about this is "chef's kiss" impeccable, right down to the Uni-Lock stands. Gotta get yerself a Sonor Signature next for even greater '80s excess!
I miss those big drum sets...I can actually use a lot of those, my style is based around using the drum kit as an ensemble even while playing in a band, so I like having loads of toms and cymbals and the like. Electronics, too, right alongside the acoustics. It's often painted as being ostentatious, but I love it! I love that versatility!
I’ve never really been into drums or cars but watching all your videos of you going into all these things with such passion is amazing! Seeing people who have these hobbies show off cool things and explain the history behind them is without a doubt my favorite thing and TH-cam Is full of those! Please keep it up can’t wait to see where all of this goes!
My dad used to be in a cover band when I was young, from the late 80’s into the early 90’s and his set were huge chonkers like that. Never been musically inclined myself but everything involved is fascinating to me.
I’ve been a drummer my whole life and my biggest influences were 80s metal drummers. That is such a beautiful kit and I’ve always wanted one like that. You’re so lucky
lately i've been rewatching some of your older stuff that's been made like an "undisclosed series", if you may call it that, stuff like the doneky van videos, niki repairs, failures and more repairs and even the old ipod x000GB videos, and one thing i really love about those is just watching them front to back and seeing the evolution, or growth that happens to these channels, your content and you, and with that i'm super exited to see this museum of yours slowly taking shape and i can't wait to see more
I have no words to describe the amount of respect I have for you as a creator and a person. Spending all your free time and large amount of money just to do what you're passionate about and give access to niche items to everyone. We truly do not deserve to have you, you are a wonderful human being and I wish you every bit of success and joy.
Man your passion for all of your projects is so inspiring! I also wanna thank you in advance for the drum recordings! As an amateur producer, free drum samples is like the best thing ever. I appreciate you tons Wade, I always enjoy your content. Keep it up buddy!
It makes me happy that this man had an absolute passion about building drums, that shebwas taking care of them in hopes of finding someone who would treat them with the utmost care and respect. And she gave them to you, the guy who throws cymbols during his streams, im fucking dying xD
you should possibly message the widow some photos of this on display to show how much you appreciate this kit. i think the knowledge that his craft is so very respected by someone that they put it on display, would be comforting.
Hi, this was my late partner's kit, don't worry I've kept in touch with Wade and I just found out about his TH-cam channel today, better late than never I guess, I'm glad my partner's love and joy went to the right person
Do make sure your security system is capable of protecting these things, with cameras inside and out as these sorts of things are quite valuable and easy to sell on a low-key market. Love the idea of a museum, always.
Wade please, I walked away from a huge Pearl 80s kit with like 6 toms yesterday because I'd have nowhere to store it. Now I'm tempted to go back and get it. DAMMIT WADE
Man I love it when you talk about music theory and music history, you just make it sound fun. I would love to see you explore the different decades and styles of music and explain how drums where for them and what made the sound special.
Seeing a clearly well loved piece of equipment moving to a new owner who very obviously loves and cares for it is fantastic. Whether it be drums, tools, or anything else that's just a thing that makes me smile. The drums clearly have a good home there and were special to the previous owner.
Dude - that kit is epic!!! Now you’ve got to do a whole video of just you playing on it. Maybe even playing along to some 80s songs or something like that. That’s literally my dream kit.
this is so cool!! I love hearing people be super passionate about their practice! I know next to nothing about drums or jazz, but as an artist who’s also nuts about the history of their crafts and tools I love this channel. your enthousiasme makes it interesting.
Found this video in my recommended and just gotta say I love how excited you are about drums! I’m a drummer too so I appreciate your enthusiasm man ❤that beauty plays like a dream too btw

Absolutely loved this from start to finish - your passion is infectious, and I had a massive smile on my face when you finally let loose on the kit :)

80’s bands were wild to see live. The huge drum kits were an integral part of the show. Good memories.
Imagine the poor drum techs who had to set them up for every show😮
As someone not too familiar with drums outside this channel, I was looking at the drum kit at first and was like "yeah, I guess that is bigger than a standard kit". It wasn't until the overhead shot of you playing it when I realized "okay, yep, that's that 80's excess"
Those drums literally could not have gone to a better home! Everything I know about drums is from you, and your excitement keeps me sticking around. I can't wait for you to get your museum up and running fully! Good on you mate!
Absolutely beautiful. My eyes watered to behold. I'm so happy that this drum set ended up in your hands. You have immortalized his soul through preserving music.
Recently discovered your channel. That kit is sick. Your museum is insane.
Based on your description I'm fairly confident the original owner of this set would be so happy you now have it!
you've gotta be one of the best people to get a set like that in your care. thank god you got it. hope you continue to treat it with the love and care it deserved, and has been getting.
Somewhere in the sky the husband is looking down knowing his special kit is in an amazing drum museum
I really hope so, he loved his kit
I can't wait to hear the Samples of this when you get the site up! I'd love to incorporate the sounds of this kit into my songs!
As someone with no knowledge of drums or music beyond listening to it I always love hearing your talks and i can really tell the passion behind all the madness and drums. Came for the Dankpods but i love these! Makes sense that drums got weird and huge in the 80’s. So cool! This museum and knowledge seems fantastic and I’m glad your able to do all this and make it for the people!
I’m really in to Roger Taylor from Queen. He used massive drums, I’m talking 18 and 20 inch floor toms, 14 inch rack toms, 8 inch deep snare, you name it. It just looks so damn cool!
Man, what a cool kit and a great backstory. Got a little teary eyed when you were talking about the original owner and his widow, hopefully you can invite her down to see the museum one day so she can see the kits new home. You were definitely the right person to save that kit.
I would actually love to see the museum and my late partner's kit, it was a hard decision to sell the kit but I'm glad I waited for the right person to come along, it only took me 2 years lol but that kit wasn't going anywhere until the perfect person came along
This kit is giving me the vibes of Benson's Drum Solo from regular show. Maybe one day the 150 piece kit can be recreated, with the help of the drum thing.
This may be the absolute best video youve posted on any channel. This is incredible. The building, the drums, all of it. I'm so happy your investing your money into unique preservations. It's awesome
That’s an incredible gift to music producers everywhere if you’re going to record them.
I’d absolutely keel over with joy if you worked through playing differ break beats on them,
You could build out such a special library of rhythms, grooves, fills, and hits ok so much well recorded vintage gear with your set up.
That would be an immense gift to music to release for free
matey you must be a wizard because despite my previous lack of drums, cars, ipods, whatevers interest you genuinely somehow made me sitting on the edge of my seat checking my notifications every 5 minutes for a new one of ya videos. i dont get it, i dont even play the drums, but i absolutely adore this as one of my favourite channels ive ever found ever?
from one aussie to another: ONYA MATE 👍
🙌🙌🙌
daymnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to dream about a set of GLX... I had a DX kit, which I loved. Freaking loudest kit I've ever owned. I miss the kits from the 80's. The sheer volume, attack, and just massive sounds they make. Plus they looked cool. Kit's today look so dainty compared to it. Congrats on the score!
This man has consistently been growing as a creator and seeing his progression from way back has really just proven to me as a musician, I really can make it if I work hard. We love u wade
My recently restored 1988 REMO double bass kit also has the lunchbox lugs and the toms are even deeper: 13x14, 12x13, 11x12...etc.
Man, that set is beautiful! Props to Helen for protecting it, and Bruce for his sacrifice. It was worth it.
Thank you, I looked after it for a lot of years before I finally decided to find someone who would love and appreciate it as much as my late partner did, it was 2 years before Wade came along but the wait was worth it
Jesus, I got chills at the end to that MASTERPIECE of a routine. Had to rewind and turn up the volume. Ah so beautiful.
Damn not only is he charismatic and talented, he’s LOADED with CASH?!
After drumming for four years on and off your channel has seriously reignited my passion for drums... Picked up a gretsch catalina club maple kit off an old teacher for $500 a week ago. Best purchase ever.
Please keep making videos. As many as possible. Much love from Arkansas USA.
Sorry for your loss Helen, thanks for letting someone else take care of his drums.
Thank you, it was a hard decision and I had kept them for many years but I finally decided it was a waste just being in storage, it took me 2 years to find the perfect buyer and then along came Wade, I'm so glad they went to someone who really appreciates them
Everything about this is "chef's kiss" impeccable, right down to the Uni-Lock stands. Gotta get yerself a Sonor Signature next for even greater '80s excess!
I miss those big drum sets...I can actually use a lot of those, my style is based around using the drum kit as an ensemble even while playing in a band, so I like having loads of toms and cymbals and the like. Electronics, too, right alongside the acoustics. It's often painted as being ostentatious, but I love it! I love that versatility!
Listening and watching you play those drums really satisfied my soul. Love you Frank’s dad.
first, that is a beautiful kit.
second, its amazing how quickly you could change styles while playing
I’ve never really been into drums or cars but watching all your videos of you going into all these things with such passion is amazing! Seeing people who have these hobbies show off cool things and explain the history behind them is without a doubt my favorite thing and TH-cam Is full of those! Please keep it up can’t wait to see where all of this goes!
My dad used to be in a cover band when I was young, from the late 80’s into the early 90’s and his set were huge chonkers like that. Never been musically inclined myself but everything involved is fascinating to me.
I’ve been a drummer my whole life and my biggest influences were 80s metal drummers. That is such a beautiful kit and I’ve always wanted one like that. You’re so lucky
Absolutely incredible looking kit Holy wow
lately i've been rewatching some of your older stuff that's been made like an "undisclosed series", if you may call it that, stuff like the doneky van videos, niki repairs, failures and more repairs and even the old ipod x000GB videos, and one thing i really love about those is just watching them front to back and seeing the evolution, or growth that happens to these channels, your content and you, and with that i'm super exited to see this museum of yours slowly taking shape and i can't wait to see more
I have no words to describe the amount of respect I have for you as a creator and a person. Spending all your free time and large amount of money just to do what you're passionate about and give access to niche items to everyone. We truly do not deserve to have you, you are a wonderful human being and I wish you every bit of success and joy.
Man your passion for all of your projects is so inspiring! I also wanna thank you in advance for the drum recordings! As an amateur producer, free drum samples is like the best thing ever. I appreciate you tons Wade, I always enjoy your content. Keep it up buddy!
It makes me happy that this man had an absolute passion about building drums, that shebwas taking care of them in hopes of finding someone who would treat them with the utmost care and respect.
And she gave them to you, the guy who throws cymbols during his streams, im fucking dying xD
you should possibly message the widow some photos of this on display to show how much you appreciate this kit. i think the knowledge that his craft is so very respected by someone that they put it on display, would be comforting.
Hi, this was my late partner's kit, don't worry I've kept in touch with Wade and I just found out about his TH-cam channel today, better late than never I guess, I'm glad my partner's love and joy went to the right person
Wow, they're in such amazing condition. You can really tell they've been well looked after
Do make sure your security system is capable of protecting these things, with cameras inside and out as these sorts of things are quite valuable and easy to sell on a low-key market. Love the idea of a museum, always.
l bet he has tim tams in the kitchen
Your excitement is contagious! It's so fun watching people get excited about things they enjoy.
As a drummer I’ve been loving this channel. I think it would be really interesting to see you do a vid about the history of signature snare drums.
I was so sad when Pearl stopped making those 855WL in favour of the new ones, I could never get into the new look. Awesome kit and warehouse man!
Wade please, I walked away from a huge Pearl 80s kit with like 6 toms yesterday because I'd have nowhere to store it. Now I'm tempted to go back and get it. DAMMIT WADE
There is no better home for that drum kit.
That's an awesome space! Definitely put cameras on everything and get everything insured if you haven't already
Man I love it when you talk about music theory and music history, you just make it sound fun. I would love to see you explore the different decades and styles of music and explain how drums where for them and what made the sound special.
Immediately turning a huge windfall into a passion creative project is my favourite thing ever. Thank you Wade.
The copper shell pearl drum is a so called free floating snare. Back then I had one too, plus a brass shell. Both great. Loved them!
Seeing a clearly well loved piece of equipment moving to a new owner who very obviously loves and cares for it is fantastic. Whether it be drums, tools, or anything else that's just a thing that makes me smile. The drums clearly have a good home there and were special to the previous owner.
My late partner absolutely loved his kit, it was half of who he was, so I really hope he's happy about the decision I made
If you make it commercial I will fly to Australia just to visit the drum museum in person, forget everything else
This was a really great video. You have so much passion that I simply cannot stop watching. You really are an incredible creator.
Coincidentally watching this exactly a year after it was made
I'm just watching it now and the kit belonged to my late partner lol, but I only just found out about Wade's TH-cam channel
I'm so happy for you mate. Seeing someone fulfill a dream is very gratifying and it couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. Cheers!
Your dedication to making things period correct is very admirable. I do the same with synths, drum machines, and such.
That is the coolest drum set I've ever seen. Glad you're keeping it in your museum!
The only kit that the 28” ride would look proportional
Dude - that kit is epic!!! Now you’ve got to do a whole video of just you playing on it. Maybe even playing along to some 80s songs or something like that. That’s literally my dream kit.
Like many others, I keep coming back because of how passionate you are about drums. Love the content and see you on stream!
Great stuff mate. Glad to see a fellow Adelaidean. Brilliant. Cheers
Amazing kit. R.I.P to the mate that owned it before. I'm sure he was a cool guy.
He was absolutely the coolest, I never met anyone who didn't like him, and not to mention he was an amazing drummer and a beautiful man
My drummer in my band has a drum set (not from the 80) but with huge drums like this… oh boy it’s a chunky nugg but it’s loud and sounds amazing
Your drum museum is turning out dope asf, keep up the good work
this is so cool!! I love hearing people be super passionate about their practice! I know next to nothing about drums or jazz, but as an artist who’s also nuts about the history of their crafts and tools I love this channel.
your enthousiasme makes it interesting.
Found this video in my recommended and just gotta say I love how excited you are about drums! I’m a drummer too so I appreciate your enthusiasm man ❤that beauty plays like a dream too btw
