I’m an audio engineer in the US that will do anything you need to help record and process audio for your drums. Pro bono. From bouncing around ideas to nitty gritty work. What you’ve done here is incredible.
I'll add onto this that I make sample libraries, and would be down to help build some as well. Either something in depth to sell and fund the space a little, Or even some light free in the room sound ones for people to play with and enjoy as a part of the museum idea, or to be integrated into a virtual museum.
I *cannot* stress enough how much I need a video on that 70s kit with the flares on the bottom of the drums. Now that I've seen that they exist, it's a physical NEED to hear them played
Legitimately so happy for you, Wade. your office, nay your entire set up is actually fucking insane. when i saw the dankpods setup i almost gasped i wouldve had no idea
Make sure this stuff is well-organized on your channel! Get the playlists going, cite your info, etc., try to turn this into not just a channel where ya can share your passion but also a resource for those of us who want to share it! there really, really isn’t much information on this kind of thing that’s accessible to the layperson- and your laid back, playful style is perfect for keeping people interested as you share your world. Access is the key to interest!
This website is shaping up to be one of the best online resources for drum history, and samples of vintage kits for production. Can't wait to see it when it's done. Idk if you plan on doing it already, but I'd reccomend scanning pdfs of all the advertisements, manuals, and other paper goods you have and cataloging them for viewing on the website. A lot of those are likely not available online yet so it'd be cool to have them recorded for preservations sake. You could also implement interactive sounds to pictures of the kits (i.e. click on a tom, hear the tom.) That's really just extra flare at that point though.
While it's sad (but absolutely understandable) that the museum won't be visitable, I'm excited to see your ideas for it come to fruition. The restoration and recording of all these pieces will be a huge win for drum history. Very exciting!
I think my favorite random drum thing is Skid Row's first album's drums were recorded in a huge warehouse which is where that massive reverb sound comes from. I thought that was neato
I don't know of anyone else who can run 3 channels with distinct content that I just want to watch because of their entertainment value. Drums, little electronic nick-nacks that are easy to make fun of, and cars. I only own two of these things and one of them I haven't touched in so many years it makes my little kids look even littler!
You know, I usually roll my eyes when someone comments something like "your videos saved me" or some bullshit like that. That being said, as of now I'm going thru some rough stuff in my personal life, and your drum museum update gave me a small uplift I needed. I can really sense your joy and happiness about both the whole Drum Thing and the Drum Museum, and I'm getting some secondhand happiness as a result. Please keep doing the stuff that makes you happy, and update us about it in your own terms.
I'm not drummer, musician, or anything of the sort. Im just a guy who stumbled on your channel a year or so ago and laughed at some funny aussie dude calling an mp3 player a nugget and stuck around for the ride. But just to see your passion for these things is so cool to me in ways I don't know how to put into words. Old, beat up, non original, it doesn't matter they are all awesome time pieces and it's so cool to see them in the care of someone who appreciates them. Congratulagtions on your personal museum, man!
this is amazing!!! There's very few people that like sharing what they are really passionate about and showing what putting effort into your dream is really like! And you're sharing it with your community who, like me, know nothing about drums but i'm so excited to see what you have in store! there's so many cool things that i want to see!! I'm so happy for you this is amazing
Wade, I’m so incredibly proud of everything you have achieved in the last three years, you’ve come so far since your teaching days, and I’m so excited for what the future holds for you. ❤
Man this is rhe most beautiful passion project I've seen in a while. I love how happy you sound. It's truly wonderful when someone is this passionate about something because it's so infectious. I never thought twice about drums till I found your channel, and now I'm so excited for every video, can't wait to see what's coming next.
Congratulations. Honestly Im so blown away from all the content you’ve been able to put out. You have been a massive inspiration for me to take up drumming and seeing the museum all done has made me super excited to be along for the ride Keep it up! 🙌
It is sad that it cant be open, but it is totally understandable. And the idea of the website is honestly a great compromise, I am so excited to go through that!
As a wage slave scraping by working an hourly job, I'm fuckin' envious. But as a dude getting to vicariously participate in your joy, I'm absolutely delighted you get to do this thing you're doing, man.
Legitimately started crying at the reveal. The funny Australian youtube man who helped us through covid finally realized his dream, and is SO excited to show us
As a drummer myself this looks like heaven on earth, congratulations on this incredible room it looks absolutely phenomenal!, I think you should add a section for vintage and old or discontinued drumsticks (if that’s possible) a collab with rdavidr restoring the drums would be incredible, thank you for sharing your Awesome Achievement with us❤️🥁
Wade, I could cry with happiness for you, this is absolutely incredible! What a cool space filled with such interesting stuff. Can’t wait to visit the virtual museum! Take care mate.
“Put legs on them!” - I resent that comment as an owner of a six piece Yamaha Beech Custom Absolute (in red sparkle) with duel floating floor toms. They resonate soooo much more than legs👌🏻
As a fellow percussionist, I want to thank you for the work you are doing to preserve and share drum history. I know there are organizations like the Percussive Arts Society that are trying to do the same thing but they also try to keep it for themselves behind glass and paywalls that prevent it from being shared. You are doing an amazing service for all current and future percussionists by curating and sharing the contents of your collection. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us. Enjoy your time off, good sir. You have earned it.
That INDE drum looks amazing and I'm sure sounds even better! I got to check out their booth at PASIC 2022 and I'm really hoping to pick up one of their aluminum Wayfarer kits before too long. Really happy for you man, cool to see such a passionate individual getting the opportunity to build his dream!
Seeing someone so passionate about what they like is SO damn contagious, before finding your channels I didn't care in the slighest about ipods, headphones, drums, but now I find myself seeking content about these even when you don't upload, I LOVE these now! Can't wait to see all you have to show us in this room, have a nice vacation mate you deserve it ❤
It makes me SO HAPPY to see you still have the giant nug in your office space. Its so cool to see what you've been working on and how things are going for you Wade! You can absolutely tell this was a long time coming.
This absolutely imploded my mind. The drum thing couch, AND your editing office AAAND THE DANKPODS SET? ALL in the same room. And i thought they were all in different locations. Props to you man, you maintained the illusion well.
Condition consmishon. This is one of the most beautiful, love filled drum collections I have ever seen. I cannot wait to see the upcoming videos and hear the sounds of these kits. You've done something incredible.
Is that the giant mp3 player on your office? Well then giant congrats on getting the museum going! As a musician, I am very happy for you for getting a dream palace where you can live with music and even bring others to enjoy it too This will worth the wait, I assure you, so take your time and enjoy your palace!
the second hand happiness i got from watching this video was freaking unmatched. found dankpods in 2022, then the car channel, then witnessed the birth of The Drum Thing. i'm proud to see it go this direction. drums are far from my own passions and yet i WANT to learn more now, you make it interesting thank you for all the great content and congrats, can't wait for more. take it easy
Your passion is contagious, I'm not big on drums I could listen to you talk about them all day. People with real passion (also good editing and charisma) are hard to find on youtube anymore
As a dude that occasionally hits things with sticks: that's pretty sweet. Next step would probably have you building Disneyland dark ride (pun intended) where you drive the free car through a tunnel with robots playing each kit in detailed dioramas.
This room is crazy awesome. I’ve realized how addictive buying drum stuff is once I went back for my second round of cymbals. This place is awesome congrats.
wow as a drummer its very special to me to see this place and if I were you it would be my paradise too and cant wait for the drum samples website for my electric drums
Enjoy your vacation, Wade! Hard-earned, especially after finishing that incredible museum! Do let us know the highlights when you get back; love a good vacation story
This one man operation puts a lot of local community museums to shame. Incredibly impressive, your passion for the drum kit as an instrument just oozes out of every single thing. Maybe in the far distant future you can get a building for a museum open to the public. But for now, I can't wait to see where this goes.
What a cool collection! I have one of those old Zildjian cymbals with rivets almost exactly like the one shown in the video: found it in somebody's trash some years ago I cleaned it up and I use it as a top hi hat cymbal with an old Zenjian heavy hand hammered cymbal for the bottom.
Thank you for sharing this with us Wade! It's such a beautiful space! And as weird as it is, I'm kind of glad it's not open-door. There's no way I'd be able to get down to Australia, so I'm glad I'm not missing out. And, it makes a little bit more special that we all get to experience it together virtually!
you are an absolute legend. drumming is a huge passion of mine, so i’m immensely grateful for your efforts in preserving and promoting drum history. it’s so rad
I am so curious as to how that yellow kit sounds! Well done mate im so glad you have built your own paradise and now we all get to enjoy the fruits of your labour! nice one! Enjoy your holiday! :)
No way I was just thinking about this museum yesterday, looking around youtube wondering if it would ever be complete. what timing!! looks inCRedible!! wow well done!
I love those jrums mate 😂 I really love what you're doing here! Having the museum online is the perfect solution anyway, Australia is kinda far for most people, this way we can all visit! What an awesome way to immortalize drum history!
Could 3D scan it and make it a virtual walkable museum, put some platforming in, you're golden mate. Would actually love to work on something like that hats
That is amazing. I really like the way you have them ordered by decade in the way, you're passionate about your drum kits shows me you are committed to drums such as cymbals, rides, hi-hats, toms, kick drums, snares etc. also I am someone who's looking into getting better at playing drums. I can't tell you how much I would love to be there trying out different sounds for your drum kits. when you get your site fully up with your drum sounds I will look forward to listening to those. Maybe even using some.
I’m not that MUCH of a stalker, I just happen to live in South Australia like you. I’m happy to see you blow up the way you have and even tho I miss you liking my comments, I’m just so excited to see you every upload 😊
This is killer!!! If you’re reading through the modern drummer from February of 1998 my dad has a short article written about him and his band before they broke up. Love these videos so much!!!
We can be happy for someone who collects a lot of things to exercise his passion; we can celebrate someone who collects a lot of things to share his passion.
You are living my complete dream. Just a full warehouse dedicated to all your favorite hobbies and habits, and the plus side of showing everyone everything you know and you get a good paycheck as well. Envious is an understatement! lol
"until i needed to pay rent" I felt that. I also love that you said screw the condition and took a chance on all these great kits. My kinda man. Subscribed.
i dont know anything about drums, i just like when they go BRRR in metal songs but you can hear how happy this makes you and how this is your ultimate dream and that is so unbelievably nice :D very happy for you to be able to do this 🖤 always brings joy when someone is able to live his dream
I don't know the first thing about drums and I'd wager that's the same for a lot of viewers but it's always awesome to hear the passion with which you speak about this stuff. Chuffed that you've been able to make a living out of this and been able to get the setup of your dreams.
The Free Car AND the drum museum? The great works of our age are complete!
"It's AN MUSEUM!"

And he even admits it was zero skill. Not trying to con people into investing in his crypto scam.
@@LaughingOrange He said he did it "for the memes" and got lucky. That makes him the only honest crypto investor in existence LOL
Should make a point and click virtual walk around. It can be a virtual museum. That sounds fun.
With little clips of what each kit sounds like!
and we make it work on old computers and record the audio in 16-bit 22050Hz and we all hate it because it's compressed to hell and back

We can be happy for someone who collects a lot of things to exercise his passion; we can celebrate someone who collects a lot of things to share his passion.
This guy's passionate rambling is what I'm alive for
You are living my complete dream. Just a full warehouse dedicated to all your favorite hobbies and habits, and the plus side of showing everyone everything you know and you get a good paycheck as well. Envious is an understatement! lol
Very cool sir, you’ve worked hard at your passion and it’s paid off big time! Thanks for sharing
Love your passion for the history and Saving of drum kit history.
"until i needed to pay rent"
I felt that.
I also love that you said screw the condition and took a chance on all these great kits. My kinda man. Subscribed.
i dont know anything about drums, i just like when they go BRRR in metal songs
but you can hear how happy this makes you and how this is your ultimate dream and that is so unbelievably nice :D
very happy for you to be able to do this 🖤 always brings joy when someone is able to live his dream
I don't know the first thing about drums and I'd wager that's the same for a lot of viewers but it's always awesome to hear the passion with which you speak about this stuff. Chuffed that you've been able to make a living out of this and been able to get the setup of your dreams.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! The reveal literally made me gasp! This is an organized heap of true EXCELLENCE. Well done!! Especially the giant sized kit(s)
