I think it's pretty wild that there's this crazy 400-year-old lineage of cymbal-makers who all come from the either the Zildijan family or their factories and are still a significant part of the modern cymbal market to this day. It feels like a sacred trade that's been passed down through generations.
It's so refreshing to learn about an industry where it's "then this company was bought by that company specifically for their patents and was immediately shut down".
And the fact that they've survived that long making ONLY cymbals (and the odd stick/mallet) is truly impressive. Most companies would have restructured, been acquired or whatever and put their name on all sorts of other shit by now.
Really though, this isn't a Wade-only thing. Even the most random, inane shit can be suddenly the most fascinating topic you _want_ to learn about, if and _only if_ it has the right kind of presenter, the kind that makes you excited to learn about it. If you find that something doesn't hold your interest, it may not be the topic but the presentation that you take issue with.
i know you were calling the history part "boring" because you want to focus on making the video entertaining, but the historical stuff was way more interesting to me than looking at the actual pamphlets! it would be cool if you did some more drum history videos!
I just found garbage time a week ago and I cannot get enough of you. I am only vaguely interested in cars but I love the Tony series. I am a total Apple hater but I have watched an unhealthy amount of Dankpods since finding that. I'm not a drummer or musician of any kind but I *absolutely love this (and all) Drum Thing vids!* Your enthusiasm for the things that interest you is enthralling. It's so pure and unforced, it is addicting. You have destroyed my algorithm but it's absolutely worth it. Except all the Apple products videos I've been getting in my suggestions, eeew. Send my love to Frankie! She is the best part. She's carrying this business all on her beautiful slender long back. Keep it up bro.
Words cannot describe the happiness I felt when you name-dropped Casiopea. They’re my all-time favorite band and they’re so severely underrated as musicians and as songwriters.
@@MATCHLESS789 T-Square has enjoyed some mainstream exposure outside of Japan in the past 8 years as they composed and performed the soundtrack for Mario Kart 8 (and its ongoing DLC) but they're not credited so few people realize who did those amazing tracks.
As a Turkish,I just learned that Zildijan is a Turkish brand and Turks popularized modern bells.It's so strange cause i really love searching about old Turkish brands and i never saw Zildijan. It might be because Turkish peoples doesnt likes drums that much
@@claudiobizama5603 yeah probably but i have a better theory. Drums are indispensable in Turkish weddings. But the drums at the wedding are just one big ol drum and it carried by the drummer by the strings around his neck. And next to this drum, there are usually wind instruments such as clarinet or zurna. Zurna is a turkish instruntment which is very smilar to clarinet. And because of these drums,peoples doesnt really knows this big drum sets with cymballs
As a design graduate I seriously enjoyed the evolution of those pamphlets together with the background history. It really puts everything into perspective as they adapt their marketing to the trends of each period. As usual, thank you so much man,
Wade, I know nothing of drums and will never play one, but honestly please make more "Boring Time" history videos. I would devour those in the style you make videos in.
The "boring" parts are anything but, I was so amazed and entertained with everything you explained. I wish I had a teacher like you during my college years.
My favorite drum manufacturer story is the evolution of TAMA. They gave us so much in little time! From creating some of the best pedals and hardwares, to being one of the first companies to not drill holes into their toms for mounting, and giving us octobans 😊 not bad for 50 years of existing. I sure would love to own a STAR one day!
I love that the Sabian plant is just down the road from one of the major border crossings from the US to Canada- middle of nowhere rural New Brunswick, full on potato country, but also the source of some of the best cymbals on the planet. Plus the name is the cutest thing ever now that I know what it means.
9:13 I like how the first one pearl gives you a fancy rack module with a fancy branded rack and by the next page they just have it put on a stick clamped to the rack.
I have absolutely 0 interest in the history of drums, I had no idea what to expect or why I even decided to click on this video, but I was thoroughly invested almost instantly and I feel like I've been taken on a 400 year journey through the eyes of someone else, I absolutely loved every second of the video!! keep up the great work, you clearly have an amazing passion for this and your knowledge is beyond anything I could have expected
My dad tried getting me to play drums as a kid. He plays drums. There were drums everywhere growing up. This video is the most interested I've been in drums.
seeing a Benny Goodman ANYTHING as a clarinetist who also does jazz (sadly on alto sax tho) gives me this incredible feeling of actually being seen and recognized. so thank you Dank, or Wade, however you prefer to be addressed, for allowing me to finally pinpoint this feeling.
I love how his style of video is so iconic now and unique (to me) that even though this is his new channel, instantly new it was him from the thumbnail and first 3 secs
I wasn't expecting a Casiopea mention! God I love their stuff so much! It makes sense you'd know them, other than being a nerd for stuff like this, you're in Auz, and I believe that they've played there before because it's close to Japan and what not. (That's the only thing I'm jealous of Australians for.) What I would give to have seen them live.
I was really hoping he would find some late 70's/80's Japanese catalogs, some crazy players there. Or just more electric drums in general. Yukihiro Takahashi from YMO used to play a weird mashup of two different electric sets on top of an acoustic one, and still managed to make it sound tasteful imo.
Thank you for this comment! I had never heard of Casiopea until this video, and seeing your comment too I decided to check them out. I'm having a great time now to say the least haha, immense drumming.
I learned so much about drums and cymbals from this video. The Zildjian history with their cymbals, how they came to the US and everything else...amazing! Thanks for the education! 😮
I used to play in a couple bands with someone who loved to use vintage/antique drums in his setup. We would play americana/folk/vintage pop/theatrical music. His bass drum was this HUGE thing from the 1920's, and he would attach a row of those "Temple Blocks" to the top of it. He also had a replica of a 1940's metal ration snare drum that had wooden hoops. I wish I knew more about his setup, but I know it sounded amazing. He has such a great unique feel.
A welcome surprise to hear that you listen to Casiopea. I've really fallen into to Masayoshi Takanaka & Casiopea style Japanese fusion bands. Absolute legends, really pioneering what was to come and never a mention of them anymore, like they've all but been lost to history even though they both still play and tour!
It's always crazy to me knowing I'm 30 minutes away from the Sabian headquarters outside of my small town of like 70,000 and seeing people halfway across the world talking about them! Just blows me away.
When I was in high school, I would obsessively go through the online catalogs and TH-cam demos, listening to all the drums, and especially the cymbals. I liked this a lot
This is my favourite video of yours by far! Not just from this channel, but from all the other channels. I learned so much interesting nerdy drum stuff!
This entire video I was grinning ear-to-ear like a kid sat at a kit for the first time again. Fantastically informative and entertaining, subbed without a doubt.
i dunno diddly squat about drum history but you know i'm gonna sit here and watch an australian man geek out about it for 12 minutes and i'll have a dumb smile on my face the whole time
I can see why you're in love with drum history. There's something pure and unsullied about an industry made up of craftsman families going back centuries.
shoutout to the akira jinbo shoutout!!! love the hell out of casiopea and the 70s jazz fusion scene in japan. in case you didnt know, jinbo, the original bassist, and the original keyboardist have a group nowadays! theyre called katsushika trio and theyre as banging as ever. the keyboardist also has this dope video on yt about him and how he combined his passions for music and trains and now is like a jingle composer for japanese train stations w his own company and all. if you havent gone down this rabbit hole i highly recommend it, feel like youd especially get a kick out of it
My grandfather sold his 1962 Ludwig drum set a couple years back to pay for medical bills Pulled in almost 20,000 American Eagles . I meant to ask him more about it before he passed back in April. But He used to play in a jazz band here in Cincinnati Ohio. Nobody in my family knows anything about it other than he used to play in a Jazz band in the 60s. I just remember it being Black. He used to play for me when I was little. Its what got me into drums in school. Joined the band class. Turned out i had no Rhythm but i still tried. Ultimately became a Trumpet player some how. Much better at that than drums.
I've got a Pearl kit from about that era you were peeking at. (5:00). 18" bass drum, 12" and 16" tom. Love that little thing. Sounds much bigger than it is. The shells were garbage when I got it so I took em off, cleaned up everything, re shaped some of the beat up edges on the shells, gave it a hit of some cherry stain and a couple very light coats to seal it. It's not a gorgeous kit, but it is a fun kit to play. Sadly a lot of that mounting hardware you were talking about was beyond repair/replacement so I did have to modernize a few things.
Man I love this channel, I don't play drums but I'm gaining a humongous appreciation for the production and history! I've gone through a phase where I said the same about computer keyboards, you'd be surprised how much history there is with that as well, but love this stuff, thanks for being here, haha
I like the old style kits with just one rack tom, one cloud tom, snare, hi-hats, crash and ride. It's crazy because when I was a kid I dreamed of growing up and playing a kit that would make Alex Van Halen feel inadequate.
I still have that 90's Pearl catalogue. It's under the pillow in the kick drum of my orange Prestige Customs, the kit I played on 4 amateur albums and all through college.
My very first kit, when I was 16 (1989) was a Pearl Export kit 6pc single. Wasn’t great but I got the bug.. my next kit was a white Pearl Prestige Session Select maple/mahogany 6pc single. Now I have a Gretsch maple natural finish 5pc single kit and absolutely love it.
Back when I was starting out Sabians in general cost just a little bit less than Zildjian, so I went with them. And I still love 'em to this day. I went into Pearl at the same time, though, and also never looked back. Watching all of this was so rewarding, thanks so much.
I have to say: His content is not something I'd absolutely go apeshit about, I am absolutely not into drums but this mans such a good creator he just pulled me in
glad to see some premier love in this video. i've owned 2 premier kits. one i found in a skip and the other in a studio that was being closed down. the one i found in the skip was a mid 60's model and the one from the studio clearance is a 70's one with a super shallow kick that sounds like god is slamming yer head in a car door.
I want you to know you influenced me to do multiple iPod repairs in the last week, turning me on to elite obsolete, and made me order a set of KZ ZSN Pros to go with my personal refurbished 6th gen 80gb. You're starting to cost me money, Mister Dank.
The weather report is amazing my dad has played bass since he was a kid and he introduced me to jaco pastorius and the weather report and it blew my mind
This video made me so happy hearing you nerd out over drum stuff :) so awesome!! You could talk about literally anything and I'd watch it tho I'm not gonna lie, but at least with Drums I have a vested interest too
The last thing I expected was to see Akira from Casiopea to be in one of these magazine things. I also love Casiopea and I think seeing one of them is so cool!
My first drum kit was a Thunder set, was told they were built in the same factory as Pearl, so comparable quality, I guess? This was early 90's, I was young, but they worked. Got a nice Ziljian cymbal too, had to spring for that!
I think it's pretty wild that there's this crazy 400-year-old lineage of cymbal-makers who all come from the either the Zildijan family or their factories and are still a significant part of the modern cymbal market to this day. It feels like a sacred trade that's been passed down through generations.
It's so refreshing to learn about an industry where it's "then this company was bought by that company specifically for their patents and was immediately shut down".
There are a few others that exist across different fields, with Beretta springing to mind. All are fascinating.
And the fact that they've survived that long making ONLY cymbals (and the odd stick/mallet) is truly impressive. Most companies would have restructured, been acquired or whatever and put their name on all sorts of other shit by now.
It reads like an IRL anime backstory, minus the enchanted heirloom.
@@blakksheep736 you think theyre public about the enchanted heirloom?
A good teacher lets genuine passion for a subject shine through. Even people that didn't think they cared are suddenly interested in learning.
This is Wade's style in a nutshell. Just the most captivating enthusiasm in everything they do and I'll watch every video
Really though, this isn't a Wade-only thing.

I know right I was highkey disappointed to not hear the history of Paiste
Cannot BELIEVE the modern drum kit is that young and that yet cymbals have been made by the same company for 400 years! That is WILD, man. So cool!
400 years of history summed up in one amazing video! Thank you, you dank!
Ok so this is dank pods? I thought so lol

totally. I haven't finished the video yet but calling this "boring time" is maybe the worst thing I've seen all year (/s kind off)
I third this.
Tbh it sounds like one of his microphone stories; just needed a "so like this one time"
If we're gonna convince Wade to become a drum teacher again, I'm 100% in
No story that starts with an alchemist can be boring.
I just found garbage time a week ago and I cannot get enough of you. I am only vaguely interested in cars but I love the Tony series.

Your enthusiasm for the things that interest you is enthralling. It's so pure and unforced, it is addicting.

Send my love to Frankie! She is the best part. She's carrying this business all on her beautiful slender long back.
Keep it up bro.
come join us over on Garbage Time on Floatplane, Wade does drum streams twice a day, 3 days a week
Clearly you are simply a Wade fan.
These are my exact thoughts too, and I'm not very good at finding words to express them. Love all of this content.

It’s an editing trick. The fast cuts keep your attention for longer. Your teachers are telling you the same thing but can’t do fast cuts IRL.

As an Estonian I'm so proud to know that a company as big as Paiste originated from our little country.
I am happy that you are uploading that often. Keep going, NEVER STOP
I’ll take “The Drum Thing” version retelling the history of any major drum manufacturer. That would be a series worth watching every week. 👌🏻

Those old timey kits with a set of temple blocks are instant old cartoon music.
My first drum kit was a Thunder set, was told they were built in the same factory as Pearl, so comparable quality, I guess? This was early 90's, I was young, but they worked. Got a nice Ziljian cymbal too, had to spring for that!
