babe wake up ausie guy is yelling about drums again 😊
Me, remembers that one bearded drummer dood from the carolinas has done multiple videos on these wierdos.
So spelt Aussie wrong Moit
BABE WAKE UP THE AUSIE GUY IS FINALLY YELLING ABOUT THE YELLOW FREAKS!!!
BABE WAKE UP IT'S *BORING TIME*
So stupid.
Oh hey. I'm here in Ontario, Canada and my father a number of years ago (probably 2010s) came into possession of the actual molds used to make these Staccato drums. It's a long story that I don't really remember all of, but he got the molds off of a guy in Stevensville, Ontario. There was some ownership dispute or something regarding the molds, I don't remember how buddy in Stevensville got them. But we had molds for the full sized Staccato drums and also molds for a child sized kit. My father ended up making a set or two of the drums including a child set and later sold both kits he made.
The guy in Stevensville wanted to start producing more Staccato drums with the molds, and had asked my father if he wanted to produce the drums with him, but the process was so labor intensive and all the fibreglass was such a pain to work with that my father decided to give up on the idea which is why he later gave them back to guy in Stevensville.
Oh also, the fibreglass and the resin or whatever it was that the drums were made of really made our garage smell terrible for ages. We had to air our garage out for so bloody long just to get the smell out.
Also, I'm slowly remembering details, but we also got a nice stack of original Staccato drum badges and parts from the guy as well. So the Staccatos my father produced had proper badges and head parts.
Holy crap, I was not expecting such a local comment on this vid!
I myself am born and raised in the Niagara Region, and the guy in Stevensville you’re referring to almost sounds like Nomad’s Music (the guy who makes the famous drum cases). It wouldn’t shock me if he had those molds, but still a cool story nonetheless!
@@GoldMan27if I'm not mistaken, that would be the guy. Is his shop on the main drag of Stevensville? I used to work at Circle P Paving as a flagger years ago around that time and I remember Stevensville as basically being one long road lol
Awesome story! These kits, and the North line always amazed me. So couple from Mexico were selling an original, brand new in box set of North drums they found in their father's warehouse (he used to run a music store they claimed) at the Chicago Drum Show last year. There was also a Staccato for sale there.
Always fun to see them pop up.
Yes, their construction was labor-intensive and messy. And the drums themselves were heavy as heck. Not ideal for gigging.
@@-_._._- Yep, he’s on the main drag lol. Still is a long road for a town as far as I’m concerned. Recently bought a guitar off him with a case for $250CAD actually :D
@@GoldMan27 My father mentioned that apparently it was quite well known that Nomad had the molds, and that Nomad is well-known in general. I wish I could remember the full story behind why he had them and the whole ownership dispute though.
Finally, the ugly boys. Im the lad from cashies modbury who sold them to you, soon as I saw them I knew I needed to summon you. It genuinely sucks to hear they aren't tuning, but Im glad they are with your collection where they can amuse, terrify, and generally confuse everyone that see's them. Much love, keep up all the awesome stuff you do.
No kidding?? Thank you greatly for your service, lol!
Glad to know we have inside men at cashies across the continent🫡
Small world!
Aww! I love this 😊
Proof?
I've never seen uncircumcised drums before.
That is the most cursed thing I've heard all week.
@@Reznor1974 You're welcome.
This is how drums should be
This description is scary accurate
Great sound; great if the band can afford a drum roady. They also need their own van. We had these in the '90s. Great drums and heavy as hell.

"it helps having a Jazz degree" a sentence not oft spoken
rick beato would like to have word
I was all like "The heck job did you expect to get from that?"... I mean yeah study your passion, enjoy your life but , I do get it really . But there is something just a bit "OVER THERE" about getting a degree in the spontaneous and intuitive work of people who often had no education to speak of. Mind blown.
@@-processdrone-You teach other people in jazz college so they too, can have jazz degrees. There’s an element of the “Underpants Gnomes” from Southpark, I admit.
@@-processdrone- Many professional musicians have music degrees (it's as much a requirement for some professional orchestras as having a medical degree is for a practicing doctor, or a law degree for a lawyer), so I have to imagine his "jazz degree" is nothing more than that, perhaps simply with a heavy focus on that genre.
Fiberglass boatbuilder here. That kit probably never tuned up from new. It was made using a chopper gun, which is a little air-powered contraption that chops up strands of fiberglass, and then shoots it along a resin stream to lie in the mould. It's an incredibly inconsistent process, and it causes a lot of problems for fit and finish. its also a very cheap process, and it requires edge-finishing with hand tools at the end (to get the trimmed edges flush). You should NEVER use that process for something requiring a tolerance of oh, more than an inch.
I presume you mean the inside of the snare drum? Could it also be that some previous owner botched a repair? At 6:25 you can see white paint covering internal hardware. I doubt a manufacturer would finish the product like that themselves.
@@Ahapenootjes It could be a repair, but that's a lot of gelcoat over the glass, and the consistency is quite wrong for handlay. It really looks like chopper gun work. It's possible that snare wasn't originally part of the kit.
@@icarusDaBoi Oh I'm not saying you're wrong about the chopper gun work. I don't know terribly much about fiberglas application in general and chopper guns specifically. Just wondering if someone could have tried to do a repair with a chopper gun?
For carbon fiber what they use to make it decently precise is laying sheets of the material, or for absolutely accurate stuff (albeit mechanically limited, both shape and material properties in different directions) is winding the long fiber itself, seen it done for round tubes for example.
Are the same techniques or similar applied to fiberglass as well?
Thanks for the insight. It's also disappointing that the snare might have never functioned properly... Come to think of it, if the kit in the store played fine, the kit you took home could be completely different? I'm surprised they're still in business, though I'm sure much improved with carbon fiber shells.
dude i live 9 mins away from staccato's address on the ad at 4:02 ( 22 Adelaide road, reading) . I'll walk there tomorrow and see what it's turned into

They look like they are desperately waiting for you to feed them some worms.
They really dissect Homer Simpson for this one...
A co-worker of mine, in the early 1990s had a set of Staccato Thunder Horns. He had them set up in the shop at work so he could play them on breaks and afterhours. I remember wanting to get on them myself SO BADLY. And then one day, when no one was around I got my chance. And they sounded like absolute shit. It was like wanting to drive your favorite sports car for years, and then finally getting your chance and you find out that Fiero isn't a sports car...
"They look real goofy when you separate them out like this"
As if they don't already look goofy as a set.
But wow, they are definitely a conversation starter.
You keep called them drums, but those, my friend, are BOOMSLIDES
My favorite story from old drum sets is that the reason kicks are called that is because a band leader didn't want to pay for multiple drummers so he literally told the snare drummer to just kick the bass drum, and this went on until pedals were invented
Mostly correct, it starts with busking in New Orleans, hard times finding work after the civil war and the union army spending 17 years going around making sure ppl weren't keeping slaves. So, broken economy, high black unemployment, african americans would busk for fun and money between looking for jobs, everybody was poor, so original kick drums were just normal big bass drums you set on the sidewalk and kick, with no chair to sit on, while you played something else, guitar, horn, washboard, w/e.
Was also convenient bc even if you had a harness, you didn't want to hold the drum all day waiting for something to change in those interesting but poverty-stricken times.
As a lefty that floor Tom is gonna be a problem😂
truth.
In the late 1990's I was in a METAL band in Los Angeles and my drummer had two sets of these that he build into a monster double kick set up and they were incredible. Other than the fact that they took up the whole damn studio, they were great, sounded amazing, looked amazing and really got attention at gigs. But they were a night mare to transport and set up.
So bottom line, they fucking rock, minor logistical caveats notwithstanding.
The giggle after you slapped the floor Tom 😂
le funny drum goes dun dun
Sick rdavidr shoutout! He's in my neck of the woods and it's super cool to have local creators acknowleged on the award-winning internationally recognized and critically lauded platform that is *Wade*
When does the boring part start?
Great set of Weepinbell drums right there
I just love the engineering behind these, and the odd shape removes the hollow pipe sound.
Well, I don't find 'Boring Time' boring at all! 😄 One thing I've always loved about being a drummer and us drummers collectively is that we can geek out with enthusiasm to each other over our instrument for hours! 😄
Great collection of kits, too! 🤩👍 Would be cool if he'd also one day find one of those early 80's Capelle ones, with the extra-long bass drums à la Alex Van Halen! 😀
non drumer here
we also geek out over the drums
that bass drum looks like hockey pants
Lol that’s the perfect way to describe it
I'm not wearing hockey pants
YESSSS THE BANANA DRUMS
I love that you can get drums equipped with a loudener
I'm gonna be real - I'm a real low-to-mid-level music buff. I'm not keen on remembering much more than my favorite artists' aliases and a few key tracks (not even the bloody albums they're on sometimes, hah). Most of my knowledge is in electronica, with some small experience with woodwinds and concert strings. I can *confidently* say I have never, in my LIFE, even comprehended the problem of playing drums before mics became cheaper kit, or even available at all. It's wild to see that the solution to much of music pre-electronic amplification - even to percussion! - was literally to just stick a horn on it so that all of the sound is pushed in a direction. An arguably simple solution, but a layman like me wouldn't have even thought of the *problem,* let alone what to do about it. Wacky ass drums, and a wonderful video to showcase them! Cheers!
holding in a poo just to watch a drum thing
I could've SWORN you did a video on this kit a year ago or something, I remember a segment looking into the history of John Reynolds Music City.
He did a short discussion on them when he introduced the drum museum.
I LOVE boring time! And these drums.
rDavidr taught me almost everything I know about drums.
how much do you know about drums
That's the funkiest kick drum I:ve ever seen. I wanna try it.
The shapes are very um…let’s just say an OBGYN could’ve probably been a adequate replacement drum tech. 😂
finally. Weird guy rambling about weird drums. My favorite
At first I thought those drums melted.
Perfect for the cursed cymbals. The idea of someone showing up with such a weird kit just gives me a smile. Especially when they already went through a lot and look like some post-apocalyptic journey.
And I noticed that the base kept getting smaller and deeper across the century.
This concept was also used in speaker cabinets before they got really good. They were called "horn loaded" cabinets and they were really efficient! But they didn't have the flattest frequency response. Some companies today still make them, the one you see most often is Funktion 1.
Big yellow scary
Looks like a banana bunch of weepinbell pokemon
I was binge re-watching this channel all morning, and I just saw this pop up. Perfect timing
rdavidr getting a shoutout on a drum thing video wasn't something i expected but im glad it did
Lmfao "Banana idiot", you have an amazing collection. love all your videos. That Yamaha 20" bass drum looks like a 20"x22" lol, big cannon
Bro needs to stop calling Boring Time "boring." I enjoy the way you teach stuff too much
On one hand I agree with you. However, I love how he always introduces boring time with a smell, I love that
The fact that his "boring time" is more exciting than many others' exciting times, I just think of it as part of the joke at this point
A video on the Stacatto’s? And an rDavidr shoutout? Wade, you dingus! NICE!
Our drummer brought out his long toms with open bottoms (like those insane things you're showing but straight) for an outdoor gig and holy heck they were definitely "1 louder"
They look like Weepinbell
The way you had oriental rugs set up for each set in a very orderly fashion was extremely satisfying to see. 😁
this channel is the most down to earth i've seen in youtube in the past few years... been subbed since 2022 :)
p goin
Lmao I love your humor man, I laughed pretty much the whole video! Always look forward to your videos! Homer Simpson pants for the win!
YELLOW DRUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMS
they look like that Pokemon that's based on a pitcher plant
recently ive gotten into playing the drums, you are a big inspiration for me doing this
I have pictures of my 16 year old Father in 1936 behind a 36" bass drum kit with temple blocks and nailed head tom tom. Brilliant!
Got here faster than the actual video length
hilarious
These drums look like they were generated with AI
Many years ago, I went to a music trade show in London, and Staccato drums had a stand.
Now, I'm not a drummer, I'm a synth tech, but I had to talk to these people because their kits were just so "out there".
And their product specialist was a certain gentleman by the name of Chris Slade.
Later to be drummer for Uriah Heep and later AC/DC.
Lovely chap who explained to me the acoustic benefits of such instruments.
But I have still yet to work out what the odd "lip" on the top edge of the horn does.
👍🏻
Finally! Been looking forward to hearing about these since I first laid eyes on their Weepinbell-esque looks.
4:29 These are the joms for the jrums
6:25 he has become the snare
4:31 "Are you ok babe? You've barely been playing your Jrums"
THE MOMENT WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR
FINALLY THE FREAKS
not exactly what i was hoping for but i still love them for how freakish they look and i always will
Yes I’m so glad you finally talked about them, I love them and want to give them a hug
i play in a couple orchestras currently and projecting over the orchestra is why drums are big and loud, i believe the largest timp we have is 32" and the bass drum is almost as big, you need that kind of size to make a big sound, even over unamped instruments
You could always call and get a quote for the carbon THUNDER HORNS. Make a floatplane/patreon goal or something lol
I get all my drum information from this channel. Makes me sound real smart mate
That is an absolutely brilliant combo of thumb pic and title, that forced me to stop what ever the hell I was doing and find out what the crap is going on! Mission accomplished!
BTW, I find “ boring time” very interesting. There is SO much information online about the history of guitars, but not a hell of a lot about drums. Keep it up!
First time I saw these was '79 or '80 at an open air in Frankfurt. Udo Lindenberg & the Panik Orchester. In the '90s I had a drummer who had a pair of these. Great sound. The drummer was complaining about my amp: "you know, my drums are loud!" I had just made a 10" combo amp with 300 watts. Well, later that day he asked me for a spare mic.
🚀🏴☠️🎸
The algorithm brought me here. Love your enthusiasm. Subscribed!
thank you for finally covering these- now I'm dying to know what the Bendigo set was
He went to Bendigo to get the Pearl References
When I saw Bow Wow Wow In the very early 80's Dave Barbe had those weird drums.
I’ve been waiting so long for the uploads. 🔥
I'm not a musician but I love niche knowledge, love these channels. The "boring parts" are the best parts imo. You can never know enough about random stuff!
At first I was like "WADE!?!?"
Then I was like "Oh yeah he's a drummer too"
I've never ever seen drums this wild, I'd love to own a staccato kit they look insane and the idea of them is genius
I'm still in awe at how much stuff this man can afford. he's just goit a warehouse full of drums, cars and headphones.
Finally two of my favorite special interests collide.... Aviation and Music! Those drums look like jet intakes! XD
mate, we need a boring time channel, i love hearing you talk about drum history and technical shit
love your drum museum brada!
All i want now is a short of you playing these only to hear the onld car horn Aaaahoooogaaaaa! 🤣👍
Keep up the great content 😁👍
I had to pause when you called the bass drum a pair of pants, I couldn't stop laughing. Damn you charming Austrailian man, love you Wade
Cool video, nice collection. I see RDR is playing a NORTH kit, which was built with slightly different materials (a different recipe if you will) than Staccatos, they certainly held up better over time. Staccato themselves have changed the exact material they used to use.
Great content! Never seen those before! Also, thanks for the historical sneak peek ☺
Still a cool drum set, and got a small history lesson about something I didn’t know about, so great job in my book
Man,. It’s so good to see you using your success to preserve stuff like this. It’s great
Finally, I was waiting for you to talk about these!
The dune popcorn bucket has nothing on these.
My first drum kit was a set of North Drums. Beyond weird, and absolutely alien in nature to anyone who saw them. I absolutely loved those drums. They sounded different than anything out in '88, and to me, that was perfect. My parents made me sell them, against my will. I miss them. I have a set of Pearls now, and I love them as well, but another set of North Drums would be amazing to have as well. A set of Staccatos would be amazing to own too. I might be nurturing a problem. Lol
First saw a North kit when I saw Billy Cobham
I think they look awesome and I love the way the snare sounds from this side of the video.
You're funto hear, man! Thanks for this video!😅
First played a Staccato kit in the late 70s that belonged to the drummer for George McCrea (one-hit-wonder with Rock Your Baby) and then recorded a demo in 1980 with a set that belonged to the studio. Definitely sounded better than my Pearl kit at the time.
Bananas? Nah mate, those are Bellsprouts.
"The big noisy room"
Thanks for the history lesson! I remembered rdr's video on these "projection" drums as soon as I saw the thumbnail. I don't remember if he answered the question I'd like to ask; In a small venue, unmiced, do these drums actually make a difference? If the fiberglass sets were pure crap, what about a new carbon fiber set?
Love your drum room, I mean cavern. I mean it's freaking huge! The blue on that Pearl set with gold hardware is gorgeous! And the bass drum on the starring, yellow set is pants! 😄
What a beautiful mess of a kit, looks like if you asked an ai to turn Homer Simpson into a drum kit
I never knew how much I wanted a drum set with a kick that looks like a pair of pants until just now
That drum kit looks like something the Blue Man Group would play
everytime he showed the yellow ones this terrible unnerving feeling started to come to surface
50's will probably always be my favorite era and Buddy Rich will always be my favorite drummer. i won't argue if he was/is the best or not, but i end up listening to his tracks the most (by far). that man could force you to feel emotions with his drums
Saw the Staccatos for the first time in the music video for Amerika by Rammstein played by Christoph Schneider!
