How to actually sound good on the drums.

[WinnieBlue]

As a professional never-touched-drums-before guy, this has been invaluable for me to continue to never touch the drums. thank you Wade!

[grangesaves]

A Drum Thing video? I get to watch funny australian man talk about something I know little about

[robertbreedlovecraft]

I always find "boring time" to be very captivating. Wade's a really good teacher

[WorksOfMagic]

Petition for this outfit to be the go-to outfit for The Drum Thing moving forward. You probably can't go more iconic than that now.

[ItsSkingles]

I can tell Wade was everyone's favourite teacher at the schools he worked at

[Panzer_Tracks]

I would trust this man with my car keys, I mean look at his sunny summer socks and wizardly hat

[KurosakiYukigo]

It's easy to see why Wade was a teacher, he's phenomenal at explaining things in an easy to understand way.

[torsken]

Wade has such a collection of holy grail professional cymbals i would die to own and play, and still ends up using the most cursed setup for every video lol.

[dannyboy]

Wade, whenever you say “boring time” I get prepared to be the most interested and least bored I’ve ever been. Keep up the great work man!

[scottydc]

this video is unironically the best way ive ever seen someone teach an instrument, makes me want to learn drums like i wanted to as a kid but never could

[Suzumi-kun]

It really takes a lot of experience to be able to pretend you're new. Learning to drum is still on the back on my mind for a "one day" thing, and I didn't know I needed this.

[GenericSweetener]

I think the best part of this is just watching a professional listen to a track and immediately know what tones and style it needs.

It’s like he has a degree in this or something!

[panagiotispappas]

Do I play the drums? No.
Do I intent to at some point? Not as far as I know of!
Did I watch the whole entire video and enjoy every second of it? Hell yeah you best believe I did!

[DustyRobertson]

As a someone whos been a part of surf lifesaving all his life, seeing the loud drum man in a patrol shirt and bunnings core hat really hit me in the nostalgia harder than james taking the head off the golf. Bonus points if thats your actual patrol shirt <3

[Iformdevastator]

That outfit is giving real "will probably take you on a magical quest filled with whimsy and adventure, but might just sell you fun drugs" vibe

[DrNnja]

i showed some of your stuff to a coworker of mine who's a professional drummer

he looked so horrified that I was gonna turn it off, but he was like "Wait no, I have to see this through" with this sort of grim look on his face

[johnlagoss]

The best advice my college drum teacher gave me was to relax. Every time before I played, he forced me to take three huge breaths before I could touch the instruments, and there was always a different

[jonnj]

I'm in awe of your ability to digest and explain such a complicated set of instruments in such a simple, beginner-friendly way. You're legitimately an amazing teacher.

[Gohan_Fanboi]

What I gathered from this is not to be so tense playing the drums. Professional play you look so relaxed and letting the music carry you away

[StucklnAWell]

God, PLEASE more videos JUST like this. I was in Marching band, jazz band, and symphonic band until I left school. I was 1st chair percussion and loved every second of it, and have missed it ever since. My current living situation doesn't allow me to have drums and relearn what I knew back then, but I still have such a love for the techniques and theory behind percussion. This video scratched an itch even more than your other drum thing videos. Please make more going into technique and things like this!
