More MOJO for your DRUMS! Three tracks, HUGE organic sound! 

Those dance moves should be illegal-they are THAT good!

It's weird to hear a bass drum that actually sounds like a bass drum.

Love the sound. It's very Bonham-esque. Playing around with room mics is probably the most enjoyable part of recording/mixing drums

I remember the first video I saw from you around 9 years ago (from Powerwolf studio diaries). Since that, I have been following your work and since you started giving tutorials I have learned a lot!!!!...I never miss any video.... Just want to say Thank you very much Kohle!!!!

"Most engineers don't see the kit as an instrument, but a collection of instruments, which very Linndrum-like." - Simon Phillips. Modern recordings have relegated drummers to being glorified drum machines, with certain engineers swearing you can tell a VST from recorded drums... When both use the exact same techniques.

Just the drums, even without the plugins sounds so great !

the drum sounds were pretty sweet, but i think i speak for everyone else when i say the dance moves stole the show

Man, your videos are always so good! Don't stop!

Yessss! Finally! Amazing stuff my man! 🤘

Here's the FARGO drumsound: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-icOD6Lm08lg.html How do you like my drumsound? Have you ever tried something like this?

Very cool. Great to get a general vibe from one mic and then augment what might be needed!

Very cool. I really dig that drum sound. I will be experimenting next time im in the studio!

One of the best videos on this subject and easily understandable with a straightforward simple explanation 🤘🏽😈🤘🏽

Excellent insights and great work again. It sounds killer! I have a soft spot for drum sounds like this. One of my faves will always be Extreme, waiting for the punchline, whole album.

Great drumsound with the three mics! I love it!

Very inspiring, love the final SFX.

Love this video! Thanks for the holistic approach to mixing drums. Sounds Simple but its very powerful. Kind Regards from Costa Rica!

This is the most useful stuff. Thx for being rad

This was awesome! Thanks for that man!

awesome work there kohlekeller

Lovin this!!

This has been an eye opener. I'm inspired by what you were able to achieve with just 3 mics. Someone gave tracked drums using the Glyn Jons technique and I tried to isolate each instrument instead of treating it as a whole and now I realized that I should have done it this way. I'm going to remix it your way and compare. Thanks for this very insightful video! Subscribed!

Your mixes sound just like your dance moves: FIRE

I've seen some other channels on youtube with similar content and often I listen and think it sounds shit. You are one of the few that actually make is sound good. I mean really damn good. Keep it up man :)

Mega Video. Hat mir die Augen und Ohren geöffnet. Toll erklärt.

glad im not the only one who mics an old school ludwig and gets the basketball tone from their kick mic

thank you, Kristian!

2:26 it`s so groovy even the mic can`t stand still

you did inspire me thank you working on it right now

awesome man, thanks for this

damn! Great idea and so cool sound!

Love dirty compressed drums! thank you Kristian! great video

Mind blowing! 🤯

Great video! :) I usually record heavy stuff nowadays but sometimes I get to record some old school-ish more RnR music, so I'll definitely try something of this because the drums sounded great (except for the Tom 2 :D )

Love it!!!!

Another awesome video!! \m/

Great video, love the boom mic, good technique! What a dancer, maybe the running man next time?

YOU ARE THE BEST !

I remembed the day i found out abot OTT the first time. Man, that's some wicked-sick multiband comp! Can squash anything real hard!

Thanks a lot and reminds me of old rock drums.

Very cool!

Sick as usual 🍺🤘

Ir sounds amazing, thanks 🤟

Increíble!

Amazing! It would be intresting to listen that drums mixed with the bass and guitars of the song!!

Man, the timing and feel on some of these fills is so reminiscent of Magic Man by Heart

And I used to doubt when I read that Brendan O' Brien only used 3 mics for drums on Pearl Jam's Vs. Now I know for a fact he could've pulled it off!

OMG My two braincells finally touched each other and I realized you worked on records of my favourite band Powerwolf ♥♥♥ I think I'm gonna cry... As always, great video! And don't worry, I was more distracted by that wonderful OhMyGoat pedal than your dance move. Oh by the way, has the winner of the OhMyGoat already been announced?

I did the Glyn Johns triangle thing a number of times. That sounds great for a super minimalist setup.

I *love* my LRM2s!! Tried them as room mics and they sounded great, but after trying them as overheads I want to buy some more :)

Excellent video... Danke Sehr!

Thanks man! These videos are both enjoyable and informative. I got the Miktek based on your earlier videos. Love it on snare. It’s been six months since I ordered a V-kick and am still waiting 😔 Take care :)

😂 love this dude

If you more than 30 years old metal player, tired of flat metal sound and looking for wider sound of your band - watch this and use all same ideas to all your instruments during live performance. Vua’la - now you know where to play rock and not metal! Thank you, Man!

Nohype mics are awesome!! I love my LRM 2's

Dang I record my drums with 4 mics on 3 tracks, wish I had the budget to mess around like this! very cool! like the EQ tips! for Sons of Castro it's all live drums and guitar recordings too haha

If Kristian dances, I do too.

Pretty cool technique. I'll have to give that a try at some point when I get into studio recording. I mostly do live shows, so that's not exactly ideal, but I like to use Kick and overheads for small stages where I don't have a lot of room and even without the big condenser mics I can still get a nice fat drum sound. Even had a guy come up while I was mixing and said drums were great, what mics was I using on the toms, and said it's just overheads and kick, he was taken back. Turns out he was curious because he is an audio engineer as well. Always cool to get compliments from people in this line or work. By the way, I love the Audix D6, it's my go to kick for anything. So easy to sculpt the sound and it picks up some nice bottom end all by itself. My live rig is a bit limited with mics, so the kick gets one and I have to make it work and so far it has not let me down.

Great video, thanks for that. And damn, these ribbons really sound great as OHs, especially for these rock tones. Have I noticed right that you're mixing drums with audience perspective (as opposed to drummers perspective). And could you please do a video on toms? For some reason, that's the element I'm having most trouble to make it sound right.

That beat reminds me of the Pornhub one 🤣 The mic techniques sound freakin' awesome (and inspiring c:)

Geil! Du benutzt auch die Wurst! Moses Schneider und ich freuen uns...ach hammer und du hast auch die nohype ribbons für boom :D

Here's a tip; send out a reverb on the speakers and tweak before you start mic-ing. ;) Definitely a cable-saver ! hehehe

I prefer 3-4 tracks. Too many phase issues when you mic everything

I wanna try something like this and do punk drums. I have an Audix D6, AKG P220 and a good ol SM57, should work.

That sounds so cool! How do handle the phases in that crazy big room? Do you phase em correctly? Thx, cheers, m

What snare mic is that? Awesome sound from the 4 mics!

I can’t help but wonder how the top and bottom snare would sound with the ribbon mics

Great stuff! Need to try that :) By the way, that Sony mic, was it pointing at the gobo or at the wall behind...? :)

I love the kick! I jammed on a Ludwig bass drum 16x24 kicks with no dampening and the boom was so addicting. I love your drum tutorials, Just curious but would you be doing more drum tutorials? There are a lot of tutorials on guitar and everything but not to much on drums. I am really interested to see how you mix toms. I saw you put the Tom mics really close to the toms. My Toms disappear in the mix. I’m using the audix Dp7 pack with the d2 and d4 on the toms. Also, what kind of beer are you drinking in your videos? The beer looks good hahah

Fockin' awesome man! I mean "fockin" because that's howvthese drums sound! Big! Fat! Fuuooock!!!

Even with metal I actually only use 4 or 5 mics. Glyn Jones method and maybe a room mic. The hastle of getting all the mics in phase isn't worth the sound and it doesn't even sound as good imo. Less mics sounds more natural and cooler to me. The only thing that does happen sometimes is the toms get lost alittle in a dense metal mix but it's a worth while trade off still to me. On my next recording to correct this I'm thinking about using triggers just for sidechaining purposes (not for samples) to bring them out if they get to low in the mix. If that works out like I'm hoping it will I might try and use a two mic technique with every drum having triggers and sidechaining them. Something I haven't tried though so it might be a trash method but I like the idea of it. Metal drums on certain mixes now adays sound terrible to me because they're so overly snappy, in your face, and often sample replaced. You add on the performance being quantized to a metronome and the end result just sounds so computerized and almost electronic. That's not how metal should sound imo so any excuse to try and get away from that and still having a clear sounding mix is a good one if you ask me.

Hey Kohle, For metal and rock are the room mics enough or do you send your kit to a reverb bus?

We're all Eric Valentine's padawans

I want your drums....and your dance moves

Fantastic video man! I recorded drums for my shitty black metal band in my garage with 8 mics, and I really want more of that "mojo" sound than the modern clickytyclack sound. There's a lot of particulars I've been curious about as to how to make that shit actually work in a mix, and you touched upon loads of in this video, so thank you!

So please make a video teaching the dance moves too !

Nice! :D Now i think i need more mics than more plugins haha and more inputs!

14:48 you read my mind!

i have to build a gobo PS will you be able to do those sweet dancing on metal mixes? asking for a friend 😜

The old Glyn Johns technique was useful. I remember having to do this at uni, seemed so unintuitive and limiting. Worked a fucking treat though! 3 mics

I really really like how you can hear the snap of the drum head in the raw kick sound. Reminds me of some older thrash records and the old Slipknot albums. I actually really prefer that type of snap than the modern typewriter click. It would be really great to somehow to get a blend of this rock snap and the short tight modern metal low end. ..Like old Slipknot. Any ideas how that was recorded?

Are the OHs time aligned with the other tracks? I assume so but I'd like to know more about the background preparation of these tracks.

Yes in fargo episode 2 big fat drum track super compressed so good !

can you explain what that 'gobo' between your kick and the mic is for?

Oso ona!!! Very good! How you pan your blumheim? Y use to use it like you but with doubts when panning! Sorry for my english!! Besarkada bat!!

What Daw are you using? Cubase?

Jerks ist super!

Total micing noob here. So, in total: 2 ribbon mics for the overheads, 1 dynamic mic for the snare top, and 1 condenser mic for the "boom"? Is that right?

The Led Zep vibe is strong with this one! Do I even hear the squeaking of the drum pedal? Is that on purpose?

💙💙💙💙💙💙

Wrench and Numbers from Fargo!

You think you could get pretty good drum sound with really cheap drum mic’s? Of course with a good sounding drum and drummer

It’s better to have a bad drum sound than having a boring one! CHARACTER is fundamental! But...a good or even killer drum sound is always better haha

great effin room you have there guy, would like a fortnight holiday there, how much lol

That sounds damn sweet!! That SSL talkback limiter - it is the one Phil Colins used for "In The Air Tonight" drums, right? Another plugin to get this black friday ;-)

NY compression 2.0. :)

This Idea is best interpreted in Punk Changui I think ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lmkQLkEpo08i.htmlt uses bongos, marimbula, and maracas as percussion, CC is English enjoy!

ur geil

Jerks ist toll 😂
