Excited about this being a full channel now, I've never even touched a drum in my life because I suck at any instrument that you give me, even the goddamn flute, but everything that Wade does is great, he somehow makes everything interesting.
@@MrMeeseeksPiano while the algorithm is a large component of success on the website, having a pre existing presence on the platform at least in my viewing is also a pretty good way to get subs quickly (ie when big channels make a secondary channel)
wow this video is such high quality that I was sure this channel would have like 100k subscribers! shame that these new youtubers with awesome production value are so small whilst these low effort channels that only look at broken iPods get so big! 10/10 video The Drum Thing!
At this rate we might even get a gameplay channel and I'm all down for it, you could make a channel about rocks or life insurance and somehow find a way to make it interesting.
I'm a Straight-Dude and As Silly, As this sounds... I Enjoy watching, On RU-vid: Cute KR and Atomic Keerati! :D Maybe, Someone should supply these Cutie-Pies, With some, Far-Out, Striptease- Music, Style, Drum-Beats, Like, Let There Be Drums - Sandy Nelson(Also, On RU-vid)! :D
In my experience dirty cymbals just sound more muted and darker. I don't think a pattern of grime would make a huge difference aside from more grime = less highs and sustain.
@@Zadamanim tap a mug's circumference, it's higher pitched among one axis and lower among another because of the mass imbalance. Something similar could happen with cymbals
@@crackedemerald4930 The layer of grime on a cymbal generally doesnt account for much of it's mass. It fills in the tiny tonal grooves which are responsible for the richer sound with more overtones. You could maybe give it a gong-like effect (kind of a wah-type sound where the highs come in after the initial hit) by darkening just the center where the stick hits. It may not be noticable on a cymbal that's smaller than a gong because the large mass is what causes it to not resonate all at once.
Greetings to ye new channel. Still find the shiny boi with DINGUS funny. The NyangoStar on the beginning was fun to learn about too with how fast some guy in a mascot suit was hitting those drums like wow
best cymbal cleaner I've found is 'Twinkle Copper Cleaner'. It is a non-abrasive cream. Just wash off your cymbal with hot water..enough to get the metal warmed up. Then apply the Twinkle with the supplied foam applicator evenly on the surface of the metal. Leave it on for a few minutes, then softly wipe with the foam applicator ('with the grain' in the case of lathed cymbals like Zildjian A's), rinse off with hot water to completely remove the Twinkle material, then wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. Repeat the process if needed to get stubborn finger marks or oxidation off. Since the Twinkle does not require scrubbing (like Brasso or similar products), the manufacturers printed logos will not be removed (after many cleanings the logos may get a bit faded). 'Twinkle' works well on all brass/bronze cymbals whether they are the sheet 'B8' type or higher end 'B20' cast type. Just make sure to get the copper cleaner because they do make a silver cleaner as well.
I really like how crisp they sound when cleaned. I also like the bling personally. I have a set of 60 year old Avedis 15 inch high hats that really cleaned up well and sound amazing now. They sounded very muted and flat before getting cleaned.
Also brightens up the sound of them. I always polished my cymbals. The look better and sound glassier. That is, if you are going for that kind of sound/look.
yo dankpods (idk your name so im gonna call you dankpods lol), i just wanna say that I am so happy to where you have gotten, its been so nice to see a genuine nice youtuber grow from the ground up. Just know that me (and more people like me) will sub and watch any of the videos you make lol
That tape thing where he only cleaned half of the symbol was cool! I remember my old iPod used to get so dirty… maybe he could do one of those to show how dirty they can get (or even just how to clean it)
Something I learned from an old drummer: KETCHUP works BEAUTIFULLY to clean tarnish off of cymbals, polish them, AND it’s mild enough that it doesn’t damage the logos, just apply enough to coat the entire cymbal, let it sit for 10-15 minutes for the acids to do their job, and then wash the ketchup off.
Ages ago when I still played drums, I had bought the official Zildjian cymbal cleaner and it worked but it felt like it needed way more elbow grease to compensate. Brasso just seemed too harsh though.
The only problem when you clean cymbals is you pull the protective coating off which then allows the cymbal to corrode easier. Things that heart cymbals are grease from your hands, weather etc.
The easiest and fastest way to clean non coated cymbals is with Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. It works in seconds with no heavy scrubbing and at $2.50 bottle Canadian nothing is cheaper. It's basically hydro chloric acid with animal fat for a thickener which is great because the product stays on the cymbal during cleaning. After applying snd cymbal is clean, put some Dawn dish detergent on the cymbal to help dissipate the fat and boom super clean, bright cymbals. I learned this trick from an old friend who tuned and overhauled acoustic pianos with lots of brass hinges. Be sure and get the "original Lysol" in the dark blue bottle.
