Anderson paak is all about that old school vibe. Even if his music ain't your style, it's totally undeniable dude has an unreal amount of musical ability.
Was gonna say that. I play mostly metal so I want that deep sound, onix were my go too. But that calftone had that very classic sound that works with so many different styles and just fit better.
I didn't know Anderson .Paak, but he was in GTA V in the Dr. Dre DLC update. They do a little thing in Dre's studio and Anderson jumps on a kit and says something like "Dre, you are FAR too rich to have a drum kit THIS shitty." Gave me a belly laugh gaffaw LOL! 😹
@Markleford Dude, Anderson.Paak is one of the most talented and soulful artists in music today. Malibu is arguably his best album but I'd say give Ventura a try too if you like R&B vibes.
@@djhero0071There’s no arguably about it, Malibu is his best project by a country mile. His other albums might have charted better but that’s because ppl didn’t know what they were missing when he dropped Malibu.
@@Code7Unltdit depends on what album you’re talking about. mr. marley and halfway tree both have that thinner, typical reggae sound. after that, jamrock and on, it’s a much thicker, more traditional snare sound
it will never not blow me away that anderson paak is a worldwide superstar now. i remember back when he was a part of the ill-fated hellfyre club collective and releasing EPs of cover songs and playing little indie internet radio shows for LA underground rap nerds. hell i remember when he first changed his stage name to anderson paak from "breezy lovejoy" which was an absolutely hilarious name imho
i love Anderson .Paak, truly a talented artist. learned about him when he was drumming under the name Breezy Lovejoy with Dumbfoundead. happy as can be he is getting the recognition he deserves.
if you got a band together with the drummer playing this, and the guitarist playing the new bruno mars stratocaster, you’d have the perfect modern 70s revival aesthetic edit: that floor tom! i genuinely got chills, it sounds incredible
I love that drum with the calftone! And I know you made a video a long while back about dry cymbals, but I'd love to get a revisit of that concept with a full scale drumkit. Something where the end result sounds like you beating the shit out of drums and having them sound like tree logs would be immensely hilarious to me, although perhaps not quite worth the effort,,
I remember watching the Super Bowl halftime show like 2 years ago and my roommate pointed at the screen and asked “Is that Anderson Paak.?” And I was like nah aint no way. But there he was, jamming away in the background of the most viewed program in the US
I don't watch the stream, I'm not a musician and I don't have a particular interest in percussion, but your enthusiasm and infectious laughter has me rewatching every video you release 3-4 times. Keep doing what you are doing "The Drum Thing" bc whatever it is, it works for you.
Big Paak fan here, that snare sounds awesome, very funky. The fact that Paak sings as well as he does while playing is also some of the most impressive musicality from a mainstream pop musician
@@dotcircles9926 Are you kidding? Phil Collins was a Billboard Top 40 artist in the 80s and 90s. He’s not mainstream anymore, but he’s definitely mainstream. Not to mention he was the drummer for Genesis.
It's a real shame that someone so talented would collaborate with known domestic abuser and, in my opinion, attempted murderer Chris Brown. Paak had all the clout in the world after working with Bruno Mars and still decided to collab with someone who beat his partner within an inch of their life. Fuck Anderson Paak. And before anyone says "separate the art from the artist", go back to your Kanye albums and Bill Cosby dvds. Wade, you're above supporting people like this.
@@ferretyluv I mean he didn’t even play pop, but sure he was mainstream at the time, Sinatra was also mainstream at his time, and Bach was too but we both know that’s not what OP meant by a “mainstream pop musician”.
That drum is just absolutely amazing. And I'm gonna agree, the heavyweight sounds great, but the calftone is how that drum is *supposed* to sound. And, AND! Are we ever gonna get a video on that weird as heck yellow drum set with the horns?!
You have such a bad ass collection of cool drum gear. That snare is freaking amazing, I agree you had to pre order this drum. It’s too fabulous not to have in your collection
Dude, Ludwig, a whole kit that looks like this would be a really cool vibe. I like overly eclectic old styles. I dig gaudy stuff sometimes. I don't know how to describe it other than I think Pagan Min's suit from Far Cry 4 was fantastic and the interior decoration was cool
i love hybrid drum head setups. evans hydraulic on my snare batter side and remo ambassadors on the toms with an acquarian super kick on the bass. heaven.
WOW, that calftone head is a delightful sound. I'm gonna throw one of those on the next time I track drums. God knows my buddy's basement kit could probably use new heads anyway.
That's an awesome sounding snare. I love the cast hoops and all of the hardware on it, too. The heavyweight head sounded really good, but the calftone sounds more "organic". As for drumsticks, I'm weird because I actually prefer the nylon tips on the cymbals. They give more of a "ting" than a "ping", and I like that sound when playing through quality speakers with ribbon or AMT tweeters. :D
I love seeing poeple - especially Wade - geeking out over gear. That calftone did sound best and reminded me when my band played a gig and were told the drums had vintage hides on them. Now us playing punkabilly, it took like 6-7 hits on the floor tom during our intro and they were gon' mate!
I have the EC Reverse Dot on the same exact Anderson Paak snare along with PureSound Blasters, tuned to that CCM range. It’s my worship pastor and FOH’s favorite snare at church 😂
i actually liked the G1 head the most in terms of tone. but i prefer open, unmuted drum sounds these days haha. and i always loved a crispy snare drum in comparison to a warmer, deeper sounding tone.
This is the most 70's thing I've ever seen a popstar do, I mean come on, that smile on the mat can't lie about how vintage it wants to be

Anderson paak is all about that old school vibe. Even if his music ain't your style, it's totally undeniable dude has an unreal amount of musical ability.
As much as I love the crack of the heavyweight, the calftone just _sounds_ how that drum _looks_
Was gonna say that. I play mostly metal so I want that deep sound, onix were my go too. But that calftone had that very classic sound that works with so many different styles and just fit better.
With the first song I swear it fitted in tuning wise better. Like it was in the right key and everything (calftone that is)
They do
I thought it sounded vaguely... African?
@@blakksheep736it’s almost like African drums were adapted into modern western drums or something
I didn't know Anderson .Paak, but he was in GTA V in the Dr. Dre DLC update. They do a little thing in Dre's studio and Anderson jumps on a kit and says something like "Dre, you are FAR too rich to have a drum kit THIS shitty."

Listen to Malibu and his collaborations album with Knxwledge, modern classics

@tim.noonan as someone that's loved every one of that man's albums (even some of Venice) that's a bold thing to type.
I love the way that calftone resonates! Feels like the kind of drum you'd hear in reggae.
Yes! that _TONG_ sound is everything. Perfect for playing Sublime songs
@@elbeetlebeasto What about anything from Damian Marley?
@@Code7Unltd never listened to him, but if it's anything like Bob and Ziggy, then I'm sure it would be perfect
@@Code7Unltdidk, damian marley usually has more dub-y snares that sound more chunky, less TONG

Worldwide superstar? Never even heard of the dude.
@@TheMainCorecome on. Don't tell me you never heard "Leave the door open" or "Lock it up" with M&M
@TheMainCore I hope you're aware that this says more about you than about him
Okay I was surprised I “hadn’t heard of him” but reading breezy lovejoy made me go OH HIM lmao
@kaitlyn__L yo right?
The calftone sounded SOOOOOOO GOOD
Wade: "I swear they have never changed these keys"
Also wade: "if it ain't broke don't fix it" (much earlier than today)
i love Anderson .Paak, truly a talented artist. learned about him when he was drumming under the name Breezy Lovejoy with Dumbfoundead. happy as can be he is getting the recognition he deserves.
Lol dang did not know that.
Shoutout to Watsky for turning me on to Dumbfoundead and Breezy Lovejoy back in the day
I learned about him when he opened for Watsky in 2014. Wild to see how far he’s come the last 10 years
Anyone who collaborates with Chris Brown can eat shit. Idgaf how good of a drummer they are
Ludwig von Beethoven was the best drummer of all time
*Beathoven.
Dogs can play drums? Damn that's crazy.
Beathaven* @@ms_enj
They called him Loud Big when he was drumming
And apparently he's streaming to this day as well
if you got a band together with the drummer playing this, and the guitarist playing the new bruno mars stratocaster, you’d have the perfect modern 70s revival aesthetic
edit: that floor tom! i genuinely got chills, it sounds incredible
The wrap is just gorgeous; I would love to have a bandanna with that EXACT pattern on it.
This is a quality drum thing, very nice

It’s so funny when people are getting recommended drum stuff when they’re here for Australian yelling and aggressively gesturing
Big Paak fan here, that snare sounds awesome, very funky. The fact that Paak sings as well as he does while playing is also some of the most impressive musicality from a mainstream pop musician
Phil Collins did the same.
@@ferretyluvyeah but he isn’t exactly a mainstream pop musician

I kinda dig how much it resembles the Wade Dingus Poo Wrapped In Sprinkles Signature Snare.
The gold paisley is such a perfect look for that drum, the calftone just looks right and sounds right on that thing. YES LAWD!
DRUM THINGS BACK YEEEAAAAAH
It's been dressed up so well! It's absolutely stunning
1AM Est? Fuck it, its Drum Time!
.. I feel bad about calling it a hippie snare on the drum stream now lmao
Dankpods=reason to start drumming
Seeing Paak live is an amazing experience, seeing him lead the band, sing and rap all at once is mind blowing.
I could just barely tell the difference between the G1 Coated and the Heavyweight, but i could easily hear the difference in the Calftone.
Those hoops are so shiny I'm afraid they'll blind me
Amazing what the skin change can do for the sound. Neat piece you got yourself, hope you use it in good health for years and years to come!
Good choice with the Calftone. I'm an Aquarian guy, but the Modern Vintage heads are a similar vibe and they've been my go to for years now.
That drum is just absolutely amazing. And I'm gonna agree, the heavyweight sounds great, but the calftone is how that drum is *supposed* to sound. And, AND! Are we ever gonna get a video on that weird as heck yellow drum set with the horns?!
The calftone was so perfectly tuned for that first song!
You have such a bad ass collection of cool drum gear. That snare is freaking amazing, I agree you had to pre order this drum. It’s too fabulous not to have in your collection
Just getting started out on drumming and this channel is mostly responsible haha. You’re a delight, mate💜
wow mate, the calftone on that Ludwig snare sounds amazing. cheers and rock on. ;-)
I haven't seen videos about drums' tunings and gear that much, but the second i heard that Calftone head i fell in love.
That rug really ties the room together.
you're the most fun/funny person ever. where some people see nonsense i see absolute comedic genious
Oh man that paisley is so good with all the instruments details too. I would wear a shirt with that print on it in a heartbeat.
i just hope wade makes a giant drum kit so people can make music with his instruments
Honey wake up new Drum Thing just dropped
Dude, Ludwig, a whole kit that looks like this would be a really cool vibe. I like overly eclectic old styles. I dig gaudy stuff sometimes. I don't know how to describe it other than I think Pagan Min's suit from Far Cry 4 was fantastic and the interior decoration was cool
I’d totally have that drum mat as the rug in my living room
Gosh where the heck is a silk sonic second album!? That album was so good. I love not only the drum grooves in the album but the way his drums sound
I’m an Evans guy too, I didn’t know that they made a Calftone snare head. Very cutting and resonate tone, I love it!
Its very cute how excited you are about a new drum set! Thanks for the great content!
NO WAY YOU GOT A RUG TOO HAHAHAHAHHA
He’s like me when I find a new world war 2 mechanics document
Yooooo a signature, nice nice
That is one gorgeous drum!
The only thing that snare is missing is bell bottoms, and porkchop style sideburns.
Anderson .Paak is amazing, and Silk Sonic is just extraordinary! Love this drum
absolutely in love with the way that calftone sounds
This makes me wanna try a calftone!! Sounds fantastic!
i love hybrid drum head setups. evans hydraulic on my snare batter side and remo ambassadors on the toms with an acquarian super kick on the bass. heaven.
Always a good day when a new drum thing video drops
I would never have known Ludwig was literally in the town I teach in… right down the road.. without this video. Wild.
Trust me, the drum stream is the best $2.80 ever spent. I highly suggest joining it!
Boy that calftone sounds SWEET!!!
I adore how excited he sounded. It's infectious.
WOW, that calftone head is a delightful sound. I'm gonna throw one of those on the next time I track drums. God knows my buddy's basement kit could probably use new heads anyway.
The calftone's sound fits the look of it, just the perfect amount of energy to it fitting the 70s vibe of the drum and mat
It’s a great sounding snare and all but I gotta say, Feliz bottom jeans absolutely stole the show and now we absolutely need a full cover
Figures Wade would like jazzed up drums
The fake calfskin on that snare = instant early Santana vibes
The design really is amazing
In isolation, that Calftone did sound killer! However, I thought the G1 cut through the mix a tiny bit better
that sounds amazing with the calftone
Wow, that snare thing is awesome!
that attack and release of that calftone makes the beat dance.
what a beautiful snare
oooh i _really_ dig that snare! I'd like to get that in a sound pack for my Roland e-drums
Just want to mention Wade with glasses looks sick!
Best part about visiting aus is that I can jump on these videos immediately after they upload
Glad we got to see that prototype paiste ride in another vid
dude the rug is glorious
Great video Wade!
That's an awesome sounding snare. I love the cast hoops and all of the hardware on it, too. The heavyweight head sounded really good, but the calftone sounds more "organic".
As for drumsticks, I'm weird because I actually prefer the nylon tips on the cymbals. They give more of a "ting" than a "ping", and I like that sound when playing through quality speakers with ribbon or AMT tweeters. :D
Man, that calftone sounds excellent!
the split-second Onix XD
Someday I hope to find something that makes me half as happy as this random Australian drummer CZcamsr when he gets a new drum.
man do i wish i had the money for those drum streams. he loves meme music and damn it so do i
The Calftone sounds so good. I'm definitely investing in that
a midnight upload is the best upload
that calftone tho, sounds awesome
New year, new drums.
Fuck that thing looks incredible.
The Silk Sonic project and that fucking tiny desk concert. sooo gooooood. gotta listen to it again for 12h straight
I love seeing poeple - especially Wade - geeking out over gear. That calftone did sound best and reminded me when my band played a gig and were told the drums had vintage hides on them. Now us playing punkabilly, it took like 6-7 hits on the floor tom during our intro and they were gon' mate!
I love it when modern musicians used vintage styles or vintage drum gear, it sounds so good
Diggin’ the Reg Mombassa/Mambo shirt 🤙
New drum thing video yessss
i love you you have inspired me to take drum lessons and drum gcse
I have the EC Reverse Dot on the same exact Anderson Paak snare along with PureSound Blasters, tuned to that CCM range. It’s my worship pastor and FOH’s favorite snare at church 😂
Always happy to hear Feliz Bottom Jeans used as demo music haha! I think the Heavyweight's my fave, great for thrashing about punk drumming
The drum looks definitely looks loud if nothing else
EDIT: it sounds like the way it looks
3:34 "LOOK GARY, THERE I AM!"
Mate, I sure do love me some .Paak❤❤❤❤
thats fully sick
It's the chonkiest of chonkers he says, entirely ignoring the high tension marching drum heads that Evans offers
i actually liked the G1 head the most in terms of tone. but i prefer open, unmuted drum sounds these days haha. and i always loved a crispy snare drum in comparison to a warmer, deeper sounding tone.
YESSS!! More Drum Thing!!!
A BLAST BEAT?????? I wasn't expecting that man. What the hell??
oohh that calftone is nice! and the g1 was pretty nice.
