Thanks for your videos, you really sparked my interest in drumming again, currently reviving my old set and searching for a room to practice. I like tinkering on stuff and there's so much you can do for a better feeling and sounding drum with little money and a bit of tlc.
It’s honestly it’s both because your playing style could work best with a specific setting but another person might find another setting more comfortable for them
I hate new guitar strings and also new (fresh washed) bed sheets, Id imagine Id also hate new drum heads :D A good musician can make a crap instrument sound good.
@@pyther9852 It is too large for a bullet, yet too small for a piece of furniture. You're looking for something heavy and larger than a poo rolled in sprinkles.
Mate, I got a little story to tell about my snare: When I was a complete beginner, another beginner drummer friend of mine found a shitty rusty metallic snare without heads that was abandoned somewhere. As she knew I was into diy, she gave it to me. A few months later I realized it was a 70's Ludwig Supraphonic. It is my biggest drum treasure!
@@MisterFribble people are clueless. Somebody probably bought it, left it in storage, and than some clueless relative thought it was old junk and threw it away. It's sadly common when old people die. The surviving family members have no clue what anything is, and if it doesn't look nice they just assume it's trash.
Same! I just wanted to see the Smasnug flip fail and just stuck around for the next two years just gradually got into all of that to the point of obsession too.
He's working on doing that for me lmao, I keep putting off buying new headphones/speakers because I suddenly want to get much higher end equipment than I would have wanted previously because he's managed to explain to me why audio quality matters, and after listening to the difference in my nicer headphones to my cheap wireless buds I completely understand. I also have a much higher appreciation for the complexity both cars and drumming than I thought I ever would.
You brought that Brady onscreen and started listing offball the drummers that played it, and my jaw dropped- i had no idea that the bands I grew up listening to had played such a rare drum, and when you played it i immediately recognized the sound of that snare, absolutely gorgeous mate
I used the easter weekend to revive an old Peace Snare from the 70s, that was already in terrible shape when I got it ~15yrs ago. Turns out, some cleaning, new hoops and a DW snare mechanic that cost roughly as much as the snare, will really make any piece of kit feel significantly better.
I have a Pearl Export snare that I took the wrap off, sanded, and stained dark blue. Also put gold hoops on it and reglued the badge, so it looks very similar!
The Aussie drums sounds exactly like I would expect......great. Reminds me of a Noble and Cooley. The poo drum.....I was about to rag on it til I realized the sprinkles were added by you. Looks cool
The best way I can describe the audio difference in these two drums is when a frozen food says “microwave or oven” but the microwave means it’s gonna be a little soggy but still dinner, but the oven makes it crispy and sharp. But also sometimes food is food and you can dress up a microwaved meal with the right additions LOL
Aaron Comes used a Brady on Spin Doctors Two Princes. Super iconic intro snare fill, that has graced probably every TGI Fridays jukebox across the globe. Great channel! Keep up the good work!
The thing that kills me about electronic drum kits is they're just so much more convenient to record with and they won't get your neighbors mad at you. But if you started off cheap you're just kind of stuck. Most of the time the computers and pads aren't compatible across different brands or different lines So you're basically forced to sell it and get a new kit if you're not happy with the sound of it.
for me it was less the sound(they sound meh but i can always pirate EZdrummer and change the midis i guess) but the fact i commited the mistake of not buying mesh drums and they have absolutely no bounce so i decided to sell it and just lift the middle to my neighbors
I love that you are the anti-snob when it comes to drums. Like any decent musician I guess; a crap $50 guitar can sound impressively good in the right hands (and maybe $100 worth of fretwork and tuners just to make it amazing). It's all about talent and... the charm, the sound, the eccentricities and character of the crap and using it for what it's worth (which is a lot)
I think my favorite part of this video is how much music you can make with naught but a snare, kick, and hihats. I’ve only ever thought about starting a drumset by buying a kit, but if I could spend the cost of a kit on a lifelong buy of those three pieces that seems like a much better place to start
Videos like this are why I love this channel. It's not about any one thing being the best, or making the best with what you've got, but rather just finding your vibe. And if you don't vibe with your vibe, no worries! Try something new, until you like the vibe. Thanks for the Aussie wisdom, homie.
I used to live next door the Brady drum factory. I was also a tree lopper at the time, Yes Chris Brady did come out when he heard about a old jarrah been chapped down. He would pay for a crain and flat bed truck to come in and he would take away the pieces he wanted.
Some of my favorite photos the photographer used ~300 usd entry level MFT body with a ~800 usd 25mm f/1.2 PRO Olympus lens. The shots are beyond amazing and got me to buy all of his books and zines. He has thousands in Sony gear and those images are great too, but I wouldn’t say they’re better than the ones shot on the little Olympus body. I picked up the same e-pl8 to go with my E-M1.III and E-M5.II and combined with a much cheaper 20mm f/1.7 ver II you can still get great images for cheap. I try to show kits like that to people that want to really try a dedicated camera but get scared off my the cost. I have a Fuji GFX kit with primes and a 50R, not exactly cheap. I still pickup the cheap e-pl8 and admittedly more expensive Olympus 20mm f/1.4 PRO (or the little lumix 20, it’s still solid) whenever I don’t need the higher end bodies.
My Vinnie Paul signature series cranked with a P7 on top cuts perfectly in any situation! Out of all of my snares that's my go to for all of my live shows and a nice percentage of my session work. It's just a beast of a snare! 🤘🤘🤘 I play Pearl everything except for my pedals and some hardware. I use to play all pearl but some other companies just make things slightly better.
I have a Slingerland radio king from the 80s (back when Gibson bought out the company), which I bought for about a little over $200 in today's money back in the early 2000s. I saw this same snare about a decade earlier in the same music store I bought it from, but it was priced so prohibitively high that it was never sold till I bought it. What's funny is I was even able to haggle the price down from about $300 to the aforementioned $200+.
Reminds me of the time I found a $60 guitar at a pawn shop being sold as "for parts" and all I had to was replace the bridge block and put new strings on and it sounded fantastic
this channel is the perfect "study/homework channel" for me, since it's entertaining enough to keep me awake when i'm working, but not entertaining enough for me to get distracted by it.
Reminds me of Dave Weckl using a Kent snare drum his neighbour gave him, when recording his first solo album. Everyone assumed it was the Yammy brass piccolo he did a lot of press for, so they all went and brought that instead of the cheap boxy wonder that was the cheap British snare they heard.
I love my Brady, she’s one of the real early hand finishes ones, basically a piccolo.. made from Jarrah Burl.. they can bury me with it as she’s never leaving my side..
maaaan id love to get a couple one shot Samples of both of those drums. a nice heavy rim shot or something for metal, blend it in nice with other stuff or with a natural snare. may sound pretty neat
I thought BSSM was recorded with a 14x3½" Tama Bell Brass? But anyway, what are the knurled "nuts" on the Export's tension rods? I assume they're to act as tuning-locks, similar to the Ian Paice snare, but what did you use?
I have never seen a Hi-Hat SINK INTO ITSELF BY FLEXING that much in my life... has it died already? And this reminds me of RDavidr's 40 dollar snare with 400 dollars of upgrades video XD
I'm looking into getting into drums but I'm tight on money and have next to no experience with musical instruments besides recorder in year 4, how would you recommend going about it?
No idea why but even though that Brady sounds fantastic I like the pearl better ive always gravitated to old pearls and slingerlands although when I was a kid that's what my dad had a set of like 69 or 70 gloss black pearls and a set of late 50s I think pearl blue slingerlands with some seriously old zildjian cymbals all built before I think 1966 or something we've still got the pearls they were my first and still only set but sadly his slingerlands burned up in a fire at his shop back in the 90s
The hi hats are a “repaired” 14” K Custom Fast Crash over top an 80’s Scimitar hat bottom 👌
Thanks for your videos, you really sparked my interest in drumming again, currently reviving my old set and searching for a room to practice.
I like tinkering on stuff and there's so much you can do for a better feeling and sounding drum with little money and a bit of tlc.
They're not high, they've just been up for days.
Are they louder with the repair? I could imagine lots of weird noises coming out of that slot.
As long
as they are somewhat round they still can work
What were the snare wires? Do they make a difference?
"you don't need new drums to sound good, you just need new heads" says a killer drummer whose playing is what makes the drums sound good
That is a good thing if you ask me. It shows that the sound is in the hands not the set
It’s honestly it’s both because your playing style could work best with a specific setting but another person might find another setting more comfortable for them
I hate new guitar strings and also new (fresh washed) bed sheets, Id imagine Id also hate new drum heads :D A good musician can make a crap instrument sound good.
When he said new heads he meant new brains
@@h0rk3d nah fresh drum heads are absolutely heavenly.
Fresh guitar strings though?
Gotta get 5 hrs of playtime in em before they sound half decent

not a drummer but the "HEY YOU CAN DO A LOT WITH LITTLE" type of videos are always the best and a blessing to see, we cant have enough of these
Poo snare sounds like it's already had a trip through the sound board. Close mic, lotsa comp, touch of reverb, fits easy in any mix. I like it!
that brady snare sounds pure gold

They both sound amazing

That Evans drum head is so crispy and awesome sounding
Needa see more diy sorta stuff from dank pods
Great video, interesting. Goes to show it's about the drummer and understanding your instrument more than the drums themselves.
What is this Christmas? a double upload day with dankpods!! Wade ya bein to generous.

Built like the proverbial brick dunny and some beautiful wood on that piece.
I'd love to see you play a full brass snare! I'm a bassist, not a drummer, but MAN do brass snares get me going.
That brady is something special. But that pearl gave me an eargasm.
Love seeing the top hat cymbal bend as you put pressure on it. Ugh, it’s horrific.
i can't get over the throw off on that brady. my god.

I love my Brady, she’s one of the real early hand finishes ones, basically a piccolo.. made from Jarrah Burl.. they can bury me with it as she’s never leaving my side..
This is the first time I heard good audio on this channel
And then there's me sitting here waiting patiently for the beer keg snare drum to make an appearance
Nice decoration job on the destroyed drum. Pretty poo wrapped in sprinkles. Good hi hat dancing too.
I don’t even play the drums I don’t think I have the coordination for it. These videos are so entertaining though I love them
Cool upload! Any snare drum with good heads (8 lugs +) tuned right can sound pretty stinkin good :)
I love percussion
I never thought I would see a t-shirt-wrapped Pearl Export with die-cast hoops and 42-strand wires and would actually sound good lol
That “dodgeball” tuning on that brady is just 😮💨 amazing
The selfmade one looks really awesome!
My god you mad lad, you got me.
Man, as much as I really LOVE that Brady snare, the Pearl Export doesn't sound that bad (even if the shell is garbage). hahaha
Cracked hat sounds tres bon!
I prefer the pearl snare, that thing sounds sweeet that’s crazy!
Groove was tight and he's talking about Aussie legend Chris Brady, brings a tear to my eye
I got a big laugh when you brought out the paisley drum.
Wait that paisley wrap looks LEGIT. Those are great sprinkles
Excellent video! (says that after just purchasing an £80 Yamaha snare)
Huh, I though that batik pattern shell is a real thing. Turns out it's just a ripped shirt glued to a shell lmao.
That pearl sounds not too shabby. I'd play it.
maaaan id love to get a couple one shot Samples of both of those drums. a nice heavy rim shot or something for metal, blend it in nice with other stuff or with a natural snare. may sound pretty neat
i mean tuning and wires matters alot. my pearl steel drum with a puresound 30 wire and its all i ever wanted in a drum.

I was wondering the same thing about the tension rods
The Brady sounds perfect. Wow.
I've also got one of those 2000-ish Export snares somewhere.. But without the sprinkles. So it's just poo.
I love that the pearl sounds like a plonk plonk plonk
real drum man
That Pearl Export sounds properly thunky like the snare in St Anger...
Sounds like a drum. Cool
Great video ❤
that Camara angle goes hard looks great
like your new mic mate good sound good improvement
Looking at the thumbnail I honestly though you just found a drum in some field that was covered in poo and rust
