Metallurgy is kinda funny to me, because most people just think "meik knaif, use steel, hit steel until it knaif shape, shrapen, knaif is born" and in reality you have like 7000 varieties of alloys, ways to harden steel, ect in order to get X or Y properties depending on the purpose or desired characteristic
@@Nobrev If they got the same education I did, it may be because that's what they were taught. Even when learning about alloys, I didn't learn anything about just how different metals are until I did independent research (am a fantasy writer, was trying to learn how smiths made metal weapons). It is quite fascinating to learn about all in all though!

You are right, I once went to a conference with a Doctor because it’s a requirement at my College, althought I don’t study anything medical related, he was talking with such passion that his words stuck with me.
I like how most of the content on the "Drum Thing" has been cymbals. I'm not complaining, I mean I learn something every video. Favorite is still the stop sign.
Blast beats confuse me because I have no idea why anyone likes them. Like I have no judgment against people who do but to me they sound so awful and unmusical I just don't understand it. There are other ways to play really fast and heavy that sound so much better in my opinion.
@@TheRealMycanthrope indeed! I've fallen in love with drums and cymbals since the first time I heard a drummer irl years ago and the more I learn about them from Wade the more I love them
Yo mate would you ever consider talking about marching snares? I love the sharp "rat tat tat" sound they make and the way the drummers can do performative handwork, it's so cool isn't it?
@@AVerySexuallyDeviantOrange sure but marching snares have a much harder head and they don't reverberate as much as drumset snares which already didn't reverberate a lot so it sounds like gunshots a lot of the time. It's so cool, they sound so good
Marching snares have plastic snare guts, incredibly thin "resonant" heads, and often kevlar/mylar blended top heads cranked so tight it feels like playing on concrete lol. One of the highest rebound surfaces I've ever played on. I own a marching snare but I marched quads because they were infinitely cooler lol
im not a drummer, i only used to play e-guitar (barely tho) and make trap beats, but what do you mean with "deep sustaining overtone"? do you mean the wetness or something else?
Just want you to know I notice and appreciate how you perfectly cut together the "groove" samples for the different symbols so the next symbol hits exactly on the beat ❤
Honestly, even if it just sounded decent, I'd still use it because it's so much more pretty than any other cymbals I've ever seen. I think the only other one I could think of that made me go "wow, that looks fantastic" is that silvery looking one you've used in a few videos.
Long time fan, just wanted to let you know I’ve been playing saxophone for over a decade and your channel has made me genuinely want to learn the drums too
I had an entry level Tama set that I sold about 7 years ago. My bass teacher played the set and was like "You paid $500 for this set? I have students who would pay $500 for just these cymbals. Long story short he had a student who was a perfect fit for the set. Always feel good about that bit of kit, the 22" ride sounded SO GOOD, love that size. Totally lucked out and so did the person who bought it
I love how the tiger has like a reverb-e overtone to it, you can really hear it at 3:52. I know most rides have that, but I just love how the tigers sound specifically
I've been playing the drums for about 9 years and I've been watching dankpods for like two years. This channel is the perfect baby of the two and I am all for it.
I love the way the ring changes the longer it's allowed to ring for, I don't know the technical term. Also, will forever love the *BONK* of the steel cymbal. Also, love learning how things are made, there was nothing boring about learning that the Italians spin molten metal to make cymbals because they're crazy and do everything differently, that's why Italian stuff is cool.
@@sirspamalot4014 I’ve dealt with a bunch of fourier transforms in quantum physics and optics, and played with synthesisers for 15 years, but sometimes I still get decay and release mixed up!
All the first cymbals sound incredible, so different from eachother but so nice to have these other sounds to make just that little difference that only people with sparkly expensive headphones *might* notice. But it’s a nice treat
Currently suffering with a horrible sinus infection, tons of pain, little sleep et cetera. This video saved me. Gave me a few minutes of joy where I was able to focus on something else. Thank you.
I don’t play drums, but I found this channel so fascinating. As long as you find something interesting, I’ll find the explanation interesting. And as long as you include those comparisons, I can hear the difference myself. I know you geek out about symbals, but if you wanted to make a video about some other part of the kit, I think I’d find it interesting as long as you include similar comparisons I can listen.
I'm from Italy and I have/had quite a few UFIP since I started drumming 20 years ago. I love them, they sound so good (especially the Brilliant and Natural series) and they are cheaper than every other brand. The only downside is that I've cracked every single one of them, with the exception of the 22" natural ride. I mean, I know that I don't go easy on the cymbals, but they're just more frigile than the competition.
As a solo musician I really like these videos, I'm not a drummer in the slightest but these videos kind give me some insight as to what being a drummer is like, what sounds good and why that is n all that. Also love the parts about metal casting, really neat pieces of trivia.
I found a used 21" Bionic Series UFIP ride at my local Geetar Center, and bought it on a whim. It's my go-to ride cymbal for anything "heavy". It's mean as all Hell, loud, cuts like a knife. I love it.
Just want to say thank you so much for making these videos. I've been a very on and off drummer since 4 yrs old (16 now) and never really gaf about actual hardware. Either i owned an edrum set or i played someone else's kit. These vids catch me up on drum stuff that i really should know right now. Tysm
I'm into metallurgy as a hobby so talking about how metal is shaped, alloyed, or worked in any way is never boring time
Metallurgy is kinda funny to me, because most people just think "meik knaif, use steel, hit steel until it knaif shape, shrapen, knaif is born" and in reality you have like 7000 varieties of alloys, ways to harden steel, ect in order to get X or Y properties depending on the purpose or desired characteristic
I start talking about crystals and grain patterns and people look at me like I'm crazy because everyone thinks metal is just a uniform brick
I'm in the same boat as you, I'm here for the metals lol
@@Nobrev If they got the same education I did, it may be because that's what they were taught.

As an engeneer in material science it's pretty interesting
"Never forget the steel cymbal."
That sounds like a military threat.
I will never forget the cymbal that sounds like a dustbin lid in the rain... ready to throw me in with the rest of its trash
Steel cymbals were actually banned by the Geneva Conventions.

As someone who's a massive metalhead, seeing your attempt at blast beats at 4:03 warms my cold metal heart and I long to hear more of it
Same. I'm always like "do something metal, please do something metal"
i love listening to all this audiophile stuff on my dead 20$ earbuds that are gonna become landfill whenever my new set arrives

But UA-cam compresses the audio, though.
I mean $20 earbuds can sound great
If you bought them from Moondrop XP
@@Code7Unltd nah mine are cooked too, they are dead
why are you buying a new set, you can clearly still use the ones you have
I can't hardly tell the difference between any cymbal on my chineesium earbuds I just like listening to funny Australian man lul

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING BLAST BEATS!!!
As a studied blast beater it's very important to know how cymbals play at fast speed
and i have to say. flip a zil-bell over, put on top of ufip and go to town
He bought a Z mega bell once. Still haven’t seen him use it though
How fast can you blast :)
I want him to blast beat every episode. Don't care if he sucks.
Blast beats confuse me because I have no idea why anyone likes them. Like I have no judgment against people who do but to me they sound so awful and unmusical I just don't understand it. There are other ways to play really fast and heavy that sound so much better in my opinion.

I’m always happy when I’m like “Wow that cymbal sounds really good” and then Wade is like “It sounds great”

Oh wow, that thing sounded cool. Wouldn’t be right for everything, but that deep sustaining overtone is cool.
im not a drummer, i only used to play e-guitar (barely tho) and make trap beats, but what do you mean with "deep sustaining overtone"? do you mean the wetness or something else?
I wasnt expecting alot but i am in love with how bright and sparkly the tiger sounds
Your enthusiasm has me pining for a set of cymbals for the first time since high school, mate. Thanks for these hilarious and informative videos!

YES! I COULDN’T SLEEP TONIGHT SO IM PULLING AN ALL NIGHTER AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT

what a way to open youtube, love the vids man, on all four channels
As an Italian i feel proud
Really love the sound of that tiger ride, watching your videos is making me love drums.
it doesn't help that now I want to get into the drums because I *ALSO* want to get into guitar AND electronic production
become a multi instrumentalist
I like that the tiger kinda lives up to its name, it has a lower kinda register to it
1:28 i just have to screenshot this meme
Thanks to you I've never been more distressed to hear that sound of steel resonance
Another banger cymbal vid ♥︎
2:40 is that the DankPods test song ?
the zildjian dark ride is becoming the sennheiser hd600 of cymbals

it sounds and looks absolutely neato!
looool the blast beats came out of nowhere. so awesome.
I watch these because I love the history on how the cymbals are made so it’s never boring

I love that you gave blastbeats a shot for this video, the different context is pretty useful, but also funny!
damn, those transitions are smooth! He's finally got it right, Nice job.
You don't suck at blast beats, I enjoyed your blast beat very much. Please continue to pursue them, they're my favorite :)
keep the videos coming dude, love ur content
Those tigers are the coolest i've ever seen! Sound great too!
Sounds absolutely wonderful. That's a jazz dream!
Wow. That is probably the best "budget" cymbal I have ever heard. UFIP clearly must be doing a lot right with the making of these things.

the K Dark Ride is basically the cymbal equivalent of the Hurgh Durgh 600s at this point.
The bell of that tiger ride cymbal sounds so cool. 11/10
I love how the sample is just jazz, big band, and then a blast beat.
Man, its so cool when a product not only looks cool, but also works well and also isnt insanely expensive.
recently bought the tiger ride and this video definitely helped me with that. it’s gonna sound great, thanks wade!!
4:55 Don't worry, no one will forget the cooking pan turned into a musical instrument
those blastbeats gave me life, thanks wade
That blast beat caught me off guard
Okay, the steel cymbal will be forever in our hearts.
Still easily my favorite cymbal. Something about the sound just really tickles my fancy
4:03 seeing him do a blast beat earned my seal of approval
Wish you could know how happy makes me to know there's a new video of yours! ☺️ bighug
