READ ME: I have already sent out the free Kick samples. But since so many of you are still signing up, I will resend the link to the samples tomorrow! So sign up for the newletter NOW if you haven't! Link in the video description!
@@CrushingAxes Everybody learns from each other. Even when you are a great engeneer, you can´t know everything, so keeping learning is the best way to go.
Drums tuning is a great idea. I'm always complaining about drummers that can't tune, and even if I can get a grasp on how to do it, a course would be GREATLY APPRECIATED ! :')
PLEASE do the tuning course. I agree on it's importance. Especially with something such as the Tunebot, I think this is the perfect time and tool for referencing. Your one on snare helped a friend and myself get away from the Reggae sound and go for a a thiccer sound. PLEASE DO IT c:
Yes. I'd love to see a course on tuning using the tune bot. it seems everyone is still using drum dialers, and finding tune bot based instruction has turned up nothing for me. (I mean, they're pretty self explanatory. but everyone still describes their tuning in tension and not actual tuning frequencies or notes).
@@rakatai.i.i8739 both really. But some suggested tuning frequencies for different sized toms would be great. Even just to get a ballpark idea of what others are doing.
Dave Weckle did one in 1990 that is probably on YT. Very informative. I think Tempesta did one too that used to come on DVD when you bought a Tama kit.
I'd love to see a tutorial about snare mixing 😎 Btw the game changer to me is the drum leveler. I remember vividly that when I tried it 2 years ago or so, in conjunction with a great eq, it just gave me a great powerful kick right out of the box without the need to use samples. Love that plugin
This is awesome! Can you do a snare/toms version? Would be cool to see these in action when making a sample and also dealing with full drum recording context to see how you deal with bleed etc.
The best thing about this video is 'The Burning' beanie. I wore my shirt proudly onstage at Donington, was planning to get the singer up onstage with us when we played Denmark but the tour got cancelled.
you definitely should do a video about tuning! especially for the Snaredrum.. so many people dont know how to properly tune their god damn snare and just crank up everything you can crank
Awesome. Great video. Thanks Kristian. A drum tuning video would be great. It would also be great to learn how to deal best with bleed on a very fast played, dense and busy drum track with a high microphone track count where a lot of cymbals and tom action is involved.
Awesome info here to mix my band's drummer's demos 🤘!! I would love to see how you process toms, I always have a hard time bringing them in your face! Thanks Kohle 🍻
As for Transient Designers, check out the Audio Assault Multi Transient. It allows you to process the signal in four frequency bands seperately and I use it on all my drums.
@@KohleAudioKult Yea I get you. But hey, it's on sale right now. With so much for only 7$ you've got nothing to lose ;) audio-assault.com/multitransient.php
Hey Krisitian! I am a producer in the making from Israel (studying of course) and i just wanted to let you know how much i enjoy watching your videos and how i learn soooo much from them.. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for everything! Keep it metal \m/
As my mentor said, faster the tempo and more notes to be played - less low frequencies you need in your kick. Low kicks for groovey, high kicks for blasts
Your mix workflow on this kick blew my mind. Really opened my eyes to how these modern drums are being mixed and where I’m falling short in some areas. I’m not mixing metal hardly ever. But some of these techniques will greatly help with what I AM doing. Thanks much!
I can't believe the rest of the kit is not processed at all. Wow. It already sounds so good. Too bad all the plugins combined sum up to hundreds of euros. But the drum leveler seems worth it, honestly.
WOW!! I am an engineer and a drummer who has been playing and recording myself and my bands for almost 15 years. But this is the most indepth tutorial on how to get my desired sound, and wow I have nearly all the equipment already1! This is really gonna help me record my debut album with my new band Pet Elephant, cant wait to share my drum takes imploying your advice!
Awesome! If you wanna learn more about recording drums, join my academy. I have quite a few in-depth courses about recording drums in there! Just like this one, but one step further. Follow this link: www.kohleaudiokult.com/
Another amazing help full video Kristian! Really love em.. I appreciate that you include not only mixing but recording techniques to get to the sound you want. Would also love to try your I.Rs!!🤘
Great video!! I've actually started using a thin single ply head ( remo ambassador) as kick batter, as I've found it actually has a clear attack and naturally less lows...the last thing I would have thought to work 😂
once again an awesome video. Actually any video on drums would be amazing, I personally struggle the most with snare sound (especially when choosing how high to tune it, and how/if to use gate on it in the mix).
I think tuning drums is easy, I know a nice trick, one example, toms,just finger tighten them, then keep pressing with your palm in the middle, and then turn every tension rod up until the wrinkles are gone. Done.
I don't have a problem with mixing good sounding drums but I do sometimes have a problem with having them sit in the mix right. So all the tips regarding that are welcome! Great video as always, btw. :)
Something I've found about kick drum size is that a shorter depth helps control the low end of the drum a lot, I have a 22x16 pearl and a 22x20 (ridiculously deep) tama kick drum, and the pearl not only has a tighter low end, but is much easier to play faster double kick lines on. The tama still sounds ridiculously cool, the depth drops the frequency of the low end waaay down, so it's cool to use samples of on tracks that I only got a kick trigger signal to mix with.
My Ddrum has a 22x20 and just with a well tuned EMAD, the reso head tuned slightly looser than the batter, and a 6" mic hole... it sounds like post mix acoustically. You don't have to do anything to it other than take out some of the frequency bias of the mic. (All mics are biased to accentuate certain freqs. There's no such thing as a transparent mic.)
Check out my drum recording courses inside Kohle Audio Kult. For example "drum recording foundations", but there are also other courses about snares, toms or editing. www.kohleaudiokult.com/bundles/kohle-audio-kult#see-more
Awesome content as usual, man! I really like, again, how it's dead simple with what you're doing-just proves how much a great recording at the source goes a long way. Thanks for this, man \m/
