The Anderson .Paak Signature Drum.

[@random_n]

As much as I love the crack of the heavyweight, the calftone just _sounds_ how that drum _looks_

[@monkey7pyro]

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.

[@floppydiscruler]

With the first song I swear it fitted in tuning wise better. Like it was in the right key and everything (calftone that is)

[@Spike_365]

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.

[@Markleford]

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! 😹

[@mocapcow2933]

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

[@djhero0071]

@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.

[@tim.noonan]

@@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.

@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.

​@@Code7Unltdidk, damian marley usually has more dub-y snares that sound more chunky, less TONG

[@MissJazz004]

⁠@@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

[@seralouise.]

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

Shoutout to Watsky for turning me on to Dumbfoundead and Breezy Lovejoy back in the day

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

[@masoninman4787]

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.

[@dotcircles9926]

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,,

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

At the ripe old age of 27 (when Silk Sonic's first album released) that was the first time I actually paid attention to the drums. I've always loved listening to music, but I'd never really been captured by the percussion side of it, but yeah Anderson >Paak wedged that door right on open. Really loved the whole sound of that album, and I really don't know much about drums besides Wade likes to make them bleed, but yeah hopefully you can get some love out of that round doohicky thing.
