Finding out you're the man behind Dankmus is like learning your favorite drummer is also the guy who works at your job and you've been just hanging out listening to his stories
Holy- YOU'RE Dankmus!? The guy who singlehandedly created "Simpsonswave" as a genre? Holy *crap,* man! Most people live and die never once contributing lastingly to the public consciousness that is the internet, and your dingus behind did it twice! Hats off to you, man.
One thing nobody can ever take from you: You are a good human being. Nobody would be mad or hate on you even if you were the richest man in the world. You deserve everything you have, you appreciate every little drumstick you own.
Oh man, that was amazing. And I imagine it must feel great for dankpods, after his dad wanted him to make something for himself and now he's able to support himself *and* his mum/his dad's wife in a genuinely rewarding way. Like he's employing her because he really does need her expertise and she's been a massive benefit to his business.
@@vinnieiscoming Don't feed the bot, just report. There have been so many spam comments that even my 9 year old knows about them and complained to me how they are everywhere. I told him exactly what I told you, report and move on.
Dank is the greatest RU-vidr because he actually cares about his viewers and it's sad that he was harassed, thank you dank for being the greatest RU-vidr!
Funnily enough, Raycon headphones brought me here. I was so sick of seeing their ads invading people's videos like cancer, so I searched if anyone had bought them. And I think I have watched every video you have made since. Dude you are hilarious and deserve so much more than a million subs. You came from nothing, but was still helping others by teaching kids the drums. You're awesome man.
This was one of the most wholesome videos I’ve seen on RU-vid. So so happy for you! It’s really nice to see! You come across like a mate you already have and being an expat myself, it’s really enjoyable watching these videos. As others have said, your enthusiasm for everything means you could make a video about almost anything funny, informative and entertaining. Wish you all the best!
Really proud to see how far you've come mate, and honestly I felt it in my BONES when you were talking about the nightmare that is being paid for instrumental teaching. Old mates at that school being like, "sorry this week we have bought our flights for a European holiday for a month, can we pay you this terms AND last terms account in 2 weeks?" The AUDACITY. haha. Anyway, good on ya, and I'm gonna sub to all your other channels (ya should have told me about Dankmus before, I am a huge Simpsons nerd!) 💝
Was on a train on sketchy internets but when mentioned I just new the numbers would speak for themselves, still teared up like a baby. Waiting for the Wade-Brady corporation to acquire the big black stump down in Adelaide.
even if we assumed that all of mr dank's patreon's were only subscribed to the 1 dollar one (actually $1.5) then he would still earn $48,150 a month! that's $577,800 a year just from his patreons! hard work really pays off congrats, dankpods
YT is stinky but I think the coolest part of it is being able to reach people basically anywhere in the world from a bumfuck town out of Australia. Not taking digs, I'm doing that too. 😂 So keen for more to come, I'd love to see more car nuggets along with the mp3 nuggets.
Bros going to make me cry even after a year. My love for music and audio hardware stemmed from you back in late 2020, and so many of my decisions are directly based on you because you're basically the only one consistent enough between reviews. Learning about how much happenstance to get to Dankpods, which then led to so many great discoveries and experiences for me is something else. A lot I actually related to, and incredibly wholesome! I just finished and I don't think I've ever had a bigger dopamine hit one after another. There is so much lore to the Dank universe!
I started watching you in 2020 and you helped me through a lot, my business went under and my father passed away. But when I watched your videos it made me smile and laugh and I want to thank you for that. Also now I’m back on my feet I’m happy to say I have finally become a Patreon, cheers my friend! 🍻
i prefer youtubes like Dank. putting their passion out there while putting a twist of their own making it original/unique. His genre might not be mainstream but it's damn entertaining.
following wade is such an adventure because you never know when hes gonna randomly announce "oh btw I have this other channel that ive been actively running for weeks or years and just havent said anything about" love it
Dude I feel ya, I started flight school just as COVID and then the whole career went down the drain. Im just now seeing seeing your channel and I'm loving it!!!!
I believe I’ve been subscribed since you played DOOM on an iPod, and no one deserves a million subs more than you. Edit: also Dankmus is why so many of my comments are Simpsons gags
I was in a real rough spot when your channel started, couldn’t sleep at all.. then i found your channel and having you in my headphones made me fall asleep. Not because it was boring. but because your voice was soothing, it was fucking amazing to sleep again. *i watch your videos awake as well an love it!
As another Aussie musician, seeing where you've come from is baffling to me. I never had the space and resources to record and really practise until my lungs, embouchure and fingers hurt. Music was never 'stable' and therefore I went to uni studying more academic topics. Music was always something you could do if you had the extra money, time and most importantly mentality to do. But seeing you go at it really put things in perspective for me, I've had a similar outlook on audio gear despite being a follower of audiophile equipment for a long time. I've following and watching since that very first 1000GB iPod vid, and I'll be here to stay!
This man is the most likeable ol-mate on the internet. I had zero interest in audio or nuggets before dankpods, but now I happily watch everything this guy puts out, and have a genuine interest in headphones, nuggets, drums and also little, sneaky snek-bois. Looking so much forward to all the future projects, Wade, and thank you so much for everything. What a story!
I know right? Some nights I realize it's 2AM and I'm watching a video about an MP3 nugget I'd throw in the trash without a second thought, and I have no idea why I'm enjoying it as much as I do!
So if that guy hadn’t said “That should be a channel”, The dankest Aussie nugget man wouldn’t be in our lives making them better! You deserve these 1M subs, and I can’t wait for the day you make it to 5, or even…. *10 MILLION*
I’m like 15 videos in and after this I’m absolutely sucked in. Not an audiophile or anything, just like music much and found your stuff because I’m polish and your nugget caught my attention on recommended so I went through Garbage Time in like a day. But mate you’re one of these real cool people that could talk about anything and it’s really interesting and fun to listen so I’m hooked on this as well. No wonder these kids loved you so much, all the best mate!
I was a freelance musician/teacher trying to make it for years before I cracked a job as a tutor at a polytech. Now I have an actual salary just from talking about music. It's nuts. First thing I did with my new found wealth was sign up to your patreon. You're right, most pirates aren't bad people, they're just poor! You're an inspiration to us all. Lots of love from Invercargill - NZ
The same is true of most "self-made" success stories. Always a hell of a lot more interesting than "they were born into money then they made a bunch more money by using the old money to generate new money".
You're literally one of the coolest persons on this platform, so down to earth and it's awesome to listen to you talk about your interests. It's so inspiring to hear how passionate you are about the stuff you do.
as someone who has watched dankpods since about 100000 subs maybe earilier I'm so glad you kept going with dankpods and where able to do what your doing now. Your a massive inspiration to me both in content creation and drums and I love your work. Thank you for everything youve done for me without even realisng it. I love your work (:
The full origin story. Seriously, you're the biggest reason I started getting into audio equipment and the only reason I have a pair of Taotronics for my go-to pair of earbuds. Your comedy is pure quality, your videos feel like I'm talking with a friend (but my friend is a chaotic Aussie with a lot more friends and a snake and stuff), and I'm always looking forward to your new uploads. Congrats on 1 million; you deserve it, and we thank you for your good smelly content. Keep the nuggets coming.
Your story is the most incredible one in the world! I almost cried at some parts. I started watching you back when you looked at the icoustic iPod dock, and man, i do too cant belive your channel has 1 Million subs already, but mate, you're the best out here bringing entertaning and somewhat useful videos but mostly fun exciting ones and truly amazing dialogue.
I was rather late to the party, but just watching his sub count rocket up over the past year has been great to say. Obviously a lot of people need a bit of Wade's kind of humour in their lives. :)
I've been watching from before lockdown and it's been so amazing seeing your channel grow and watch you talk about what you love. And I love the humility you still have.
Nice vids me just casually waiting for new ones to come out and in the meantime watching old videos which are still amusing even after watching them like a hundred times
We need more actual personalities like this on RU-vid. This is how RU-vid should be! So many RU-vidrs seem like their just acting however will get their videos the most views
It's actually kinda sad to realize that your last statement is factual reality. With the advent of automated algorithms and tightened restrictions imposed by sponsorships (and big companies wonder why we hate them), it's channels like Dankpods that keep my hope in RU-vid alive. 'Cause if you dare to break the shackles placed on you by companies and plot your own course of action, you live to the platform's true purpose. One that was long forgotten: to make videos, for the sake of making videos.
Man I remember when we didn't even know how much memory a ipod would hold before it stopped reading it - cheers to more fun times, get frank a little sip of champagne on us
I kept coming back to make sure I heard your story in full. You’re living proof that even when you’re talented as heck, only hard work can help you go that extra mile. You’re epic and an inspiration mate, never change!
Considering I have watched you since your 5k subs, I feel so amazing to have supporting you on this. Congrats on everything, I’m still listening to the story, so I may edit and be back.
funny enough, wade's uprising is basically like Apple's uprising, where he was almost bankrupt, and eventually he found the formula to get rich and go nuts. the ipod's legacy has blessed him lol. truly an amazing feat, congrats bud 🍁🍻
But at some point is he gonna use a different charger, remove the headphone jack (😡), become rich, become incompatible with everyone else, shared among the world yet alone?
I've just stumbled over your channel! not really in my general intrest... but then again your videos are captivating due to your energic personality! You've worked hard and taken some chances, and now showed that 'DankPods' is not just a persona. Hope you, and your closest, are continuing living your best life.
wade is the most wholesome realest man I've ever seen. his videos bring so much joy to my life and when he liked one of my comments i literally screenshot it so i could remember it. he is literally my icon as a fellow musician and it makes me so immensely proud and happy. wade youre amazing. love you man.
This will probably get lost in the sea of comments, but I just wanted to say that your story has honestly been a huge inspiration for me over the last two years. I already supported you on Patreon for Dankmus when you launched this channel, and found it from the RU-vid community tab when you had, like, 70 subscribers here. I remember watching the ShrekPod video and wondering how the heck such entertaining content could only have, like, a hundred views. Then you completely blew up. No ads, no sponsorships, just one entertaining aussie bloke doing something he clearly has an immense passion for and is having the time of his life doing it. I've been working my butt off the last few years to establish myself creatively (pixel artist/illustrator) and seeing the success of people like you who are doing their own thing, 100% for the love and the fun of it, helps me remember that it's possible to not only make a living of it but to THRIVE. So thank you, Wade, and congratulations on your success. I'll keep giving you my one dollar a month, and you just keep doing what you're clearly having an absolute blast doing. Cheers, and here's to the next million! :)
When he talked about his break down I felt horrible about how much he was going through and how exhausted he had to be. I am so glad your doing better.
It is CRAZY to learn all this mate won't lie, I can remember when I first found you for the 1TB Ipod and watched your other two videos and was hooked, I think you had around 3k or so subs at the moment? Been watching every vid ever since, now knowing the hustle you had I gotta say mate I sure am glad you found a way and we the community get to enjoy the channel for all it has to offer. Frank is of course what I am talking about.
I love how passionate you were when talking about drumming. As a rookie drummer myself, I would love to learn how to all styles of music especially jazz. That passion made me smile wish you the best you with your nuggets. Much love my favorite Aussie 😂
This channel has become one of my sources for "comfort videos" every week. I love seeing/hearing about tech that I've never heard of and ones that I remember vividly. I can't say I was there from the beginning but I can say I remember becoming a Patron when it was around 2000. Congrats on the 1 million subscribers! Before you know it, it'll be 2 million!
Hearing your story gives so much inspiration, I love your content, I love all of your videos, Huge respect for you, you've been through a lot and still rocking this. Keep Going mate ❤️
Wade uploads a *40 min* video for 1M subs. "This is going to be a heart warming story " But... 18:46 - 19:20 . I didn't expect it to be *this* heartwarming!! That's soooo adorable!! This channel has been a huge success due to you and your hard work! I've been around since the DANKMUS days. You create such refreshing entertainment that I come back to again and again. You're informative but not dull. Fun and quirky but not irritating. I always look forward to whatever is new on here and on your Twitch stream as soon as I get in from work on a Thursday night. Stay - D A N K -
You've got to be the most incredible person on this platform. Your origin story exceeded every expectation, and shows how much you truly deserved this success. Now, WHATS UNDER THE CAR COVERS?! I see sedan nuggets.
from what it looks like, i think its that ol mate merc he mentioned in one of the other vids, the spray painted corolla that dank proposed poaching the lights from in the fixing the maluch video and james' own maluch that appeared in the same video
Just found this channel and I’m addicted lol love the humor and randomness of your videos . Glad this channel has worked out for you …and us tbh pure enjoyment! Thanks for the videos!
28:11 "I have stuff for videos for 10 years. We just starting!" Well, I've only been watching you for a few months, but I _am_ going to see that to the end. Awesome to see you at 1mil, hope to see another digit there someday. c:
my jaw hit the floor, i didn't know you were Dankmus! i'm not sure how the two Danks never crossed my mind before. my favorite's are Yes and Not Lenny. but Dr zaius can never leave my brain! keep up the great work!
What a great video. I love stuff like this and I love your channel. The past couple months I’ve been writing down video ideas because guys like you made me want to start making videos because you make it look fun. I came up with an idea and I worked on it and worked on it and now the idea has completely changed direction and it’s exactly what I want to do. And now I’ve just been coming up with a bunch of video ideas because I want it to have legs. And watching you share your backstory snd your process is inspiring.
Dank is living the life I want. Working hard for something you love, being able to help your buddies and family, and knowing music at such a passionate level. Making me jealous, mate!
Knew you'd make a million the first vid I watched. The editing was crisp, and the narration was entertaining and informative at the same time. Frank endcards are also something to look forward to.
Stumbled upon your vids in the past year and I've kept up with all your content ever since. Every video without exception has been super entertaining and you're great to listen to no matter what the topic is. Congrats on 1mil, Dank!! :D
20:49 dank I knew you maid more than most with the Patreon but 32 grand is basically 21 American dollars which is like the top 1% of people of here in states and I assume over there to do congrats
You’re such a genuine guy and you deserve all of it man. Can’t believe it been only 2 years since I found you. Feel like I’ve known you my whole life lol. Good luck on everything
Genuinely always happy to see when you or your other channels post. Whether you're showing off obscure and crusty nuggets from the past, making Simpsons remixes, slowly making an old tiny fiat cromulent again, or inexplicably producing a banger song using bob backlund promos.
i love how he doesn’t just buy new everything. he uses it until it disintegrates. so good for the planet. i love how he genuinely cares about the planet, and his fans.
@@FunBoysGaming But he saves the environment doing so. 1 HP iPod owned by DankPods is 1 less to end up in a landfill. (Yes, I see the problem coming up in the future with that logic, but I can I just deny it, and he will never die.
@@FunBoysGaming On the other hand, he buys iPods and nuggets that are long out of production. They already existed and probably would have ended up in the bin otherwise
finally, congrats man! You taught at my school and ended up selling your (fantastic) Honda to one of my mates, and from the few times we spoke you're genuinely a great great dude, you really deserve this.
I just want to say thank you for the amazing content you put out. I'm an audiophile with no money whatsoever but your review on the KZs helped me experienced amazing sounds on a low price. Not only that, your videos, especially reviews on nuggets are so darn funny that I find myself laughing even when I'm having a tough week. I wish I could be a patron, but really I'm just a broke-ass college student. You deserve all the success my dude, and I hope your life continues uphill from here!
goddammit man, I teared up and I don't even know you. your personality really is infectiously charming and you're doing a great job. looking to the future!
You show everyone that the RU-vid dream is still alive, that one passionate person with zero resources and no team of professionals to support them, no brand deals and stinky little lies, can build a genuinely cool community, and make a living by taking on and completing insane and fun projects. This is an amazing story.
The good things when I found this channel: 1. Got some laugh because some funny moments 3. Bought a decent IEM by KZ because he reviewed it 3. Knowing he has another channels 4. EeePeeCee, HAITCH PEA, PKCELL, 1 GRIT, etc..... 5. Frank teh danger noodle
Congrats man, this channel made me realize how much iPods played a part in my life as a teenager. Even the stuff I have no interest in is entertaining because of your personality, glad its working out for you!
After hearing what you said about Patreon, you really are my favorite person on the platform. Making good content for cheap because you know not everyone can afford it. Absolute Legend. Totally deserve 10 bucks a month
It's nice to see a content creator that understand Gabe Newell's mindset about piracy and doesn't go out of his way damaging his content to stop pirates, but instead makes it so that people actually don't have the incentive to pirate by making sure people can afford the bonus stuff easily. Especially if the content creator was himself in the position where he pirated stuff left and right and understands why people do it. 👍
Been with you since practically the beginning, I remember you had less than 200 subs when I subscribed and I'm amazed at how fast you grew! Can't wait to see whats to come! Excited to see the ute and Mercs along with any iPod stuff!
Hey man stick with what you do. I found this channel during Covid lockdown and it gave me some good laughs and this is always a channel I come back to. Love the vids man
Fuck yea we’re getting an origin story It’s super early so I can’t say much about the video but this channel is one i can always trust to cheer me up, so thanks Edit: the speed of the patreon list is hilarious imo, i wish i had a bank account to give support
I think my favorite thing about this origin story is that you seem sooooo much happier for what you’re doing now. It’s heartwarming to see how excited you get about not having to deal with the hardships of your old schedule.
Been watching since some time in 2020. Over the last 2 weeks watching your videos, even ones I'd watched 10 times before helped me out of a massively dark place. Thanks man
I still remember finding you in the peak of the pandemic and being so surprised at how few videos you had out, and I binged every single one of them I think in one day. Google Play music had just shut down, I hated RU-vid music (still do), and I needed a new way to listen to music, and suddenly I have all this knowledge about iPods, something I always thought were cool, but had never actually owned before. Now I have more pods than I can handle and just finished repairing my first eBay mini. I've kept up with every upload, more consistently than I have any other channel ever, and I'm so thankful to have found ya. Even at a million subs, your content and lovable, energetic personality is so underrated, and I can't wait to see you reach those next 1-grit sized milestones. Keep it up mate, wish you the best 🥰
