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!

Absolutely Amazing! I learned so much from this! Metal Mania!

No joke: Kohle's channel is the only one where I hit the like button before watching the video! \m/

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:

Count me in for tuning!

a video on tunning toms!!!! i really need that shit

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.

Every time i see i drummer record in this studio I know its gunna be banging

Glad to see you made your own channel. I only watched your URM vids anyway lol

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.

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.

Love Van Canto this is the first time I’ve heard anyone mention them, I just happened upon one of their albums in a music shop back in 2012-ish

Super helpful as always. Thank you! Have any plans for a 'How to mic up a cab and how to chose the mic' kind of video?

That was sick!!

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

Great video! :D mmm maybe how to tuning toms or snare. Or how to build a kick pad with a tom.

Thanks Kristian, you bring so much value to the community, sometimes I feel like I don't deserve you lol, this was sick!

That was the video im looking for over 2 months ! Thanks mate.

i used the bass amp plug in technique for my kick and it totally fixed it!! thank you so much!

That kick sounded killer ! Tuning drums? That would be awesome man!

Selling my soul for that kick sample... Never thought it would be worth this much tbh

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/

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!

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

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.

Very good kicks! Thanks!!!!

I don't play drums but watched this one 4 times because of his knowledge and sound

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.

That kick sounds sick can't wait to see what i can do with that

Interesting. And I usually use plugins like that : noise gate - eq - compressor - overdrive on highs - (may be) more eq

Awesome kick punch in the face !! Verry great tip ! Thanks Kohle

Yes for tunning drums lesson !!!

I fucking love your channel dude, it’s like it’s my own channel tailored exactly to the shit I love.

this kick sample is absolutely insane 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

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 🍻

Fantastic drummer.

I loved the sound of that kick, and it's really interesting the way you treat it!!!

Yeah, great stuff, thanks a lot. Please do a tuning course, for the non-drummers of us...and for the most drummers!

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!

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 😂

Been trying really hard to find some good kick samples. So this actually helped me out a lot both knowledge wise and getting that sample.

I found that mic'ing a snare is one of the most challenging steps in drum recording, a video about that would be awesome! 🙌

Ha! Used almost the same vst chain :D It just works and It‘s awesome ^_^ thanks for making this video!

Yes love the sound.

Same kind of video on snare would be so so useful. Great video, as usual, keep it going this way!!!

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).

Yes Please, for a course on tuning metal drums. Great video Kohle. Extremely helpful.

Lots of information...keep on the good videos !!!

Definitely want a drum tuning video !!!

Sounds great!

Yeeeeaaaahhh! Thanks Kristian! 👍👍

hell yeah brother!

It's great to see Kristian's own channel starting to pick up steam! Very informative videos with great examples

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. :)

That's some awesome kick sample!

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.

Sick!!!

Great sounding Kick.

Great video Kris! Cheers from Argentina!

Yes! Please do a course on drum tuning!

My kick sound just became so much more powerful, great tutorial!

I have a little home studio and when I record real drums i'm usually in the rehearsal room of some band and I have never encounter a drummer able to tune his skins So yeah, a tutorial will definitely help

Want to see this tuning lesson Cool lesson!

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.

Best material ever for metal production!! Love it man!!!

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/

That's sick!

Leaving a comment for that kick drum sample. Pretty sick explanation

Love that kick sound!!!!

That kick sounds amazing!

dude the course on tuning would be hella dope

Kind of new to your videos but loving them!

I bought the Audix drum mic kit waaay back when i didnt know shit. Turns out they’ve been some really good mics.

Thank you again for taking the time to do these vids. Besides the Kick, that whole kit sounds killer, great work

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!!🤘

Really useful, thanks so much Kristian

Muchas gracias... Saludos desde Chile

Excellent video. More drum micing, processing, mixing, etc please.

Tuning Drums - you could work with Rossi Rossberg together. He is a great dude, i once visited one of his workshops. Maybe you both could cooperate. I would love to see that. I would also be interessted in a metal Vocal mic shootout. Cheers

OMG ! This kick sound is sick

Great job Kristian

Kick sounds awesome, but so does that snare that you said has no processing on it! (Might need a video on that too)🤘💪

Nice! Subscribed! Greetings from an Italian in the great North !

Always can’t wait for a new video from you kohle! Only high quality 🤘

A video on tuning would be great!

Came for the kick, stayed for that snare

Amazing class!! thank you bro

Always wanted to get in depth with sample creation like this, thanks Kohle!

Love this!!!

With regards to kick size, it's a tradeoff between diameter and depth. 24x16 sounds great - 24x18 not so much.

Awesome video! A lot of usefull info in 1 video. Thnx!

Btw You should try the waves rbass plugin. I set the frequency at 80hz and set the intensity to taste. This way you get a huge bass boost that you maybe can't achieve with equalization alone

Awesome!! Greetings from Peru

Sold my soul for the free-kick samples - happily

maaaan i found this waaaay to late. none the less i subbed to the email list anyways cause i love your videos and knowledge you have shared with us thank you man !

I have your Drumshotz as well. Your drum sounds are out of this world!! Hoping one day to have the Cytotoxin snare sample 👀

This was an awesome tutorial, thank you for this. Sounds modern, brutal and UNIQUE!

Man I love your videos, I genuinely get excited every time I see a new video from you. Also a tuning course would be awesome!
