Great question! Since I don't have many, 4 actually, so two clone FET condensers to capture the kit sound,a 57 for snare top, a Beta52 for kick. Depending on the drummer (even player) it's all I need. Sometimes if I can add two extra 57, they go to toms or one to snare bottom.
Used the WURST technique for the 1st time the other week and it worked WONDERS compressing the schnizzle out of it! Can't wait to use the SNAREO and DROOM technique!
I am forever thankful for your channel. I wouldn't be anywhere near as good as I am in as short of a time if it wasn't for your channel. I'm hoping to get in to one of your master classes or even record with you some day! Keep it up!
Lots of really interesting experimental ideas there.... with some crazy cool sounding results. That Lewitt kick drum mic with the dual capsules is a really cool idea... but I love how there was still a place in between for the venerable U47 FET.
ahh shnizle, another Moses episode, I can't just bloody casually watch ur Moses episodes, I have to watch them back 4 times to dissect his vibe and approach ,mainly vibe, I was about to chill and watch a crap movie, not now tho, its shneider time, thanks PLAP team and Warren, many thanks and much love to you guys for inspiring me.

Late 70's Hansa is one of my ideal references for how a record should/could sound, that and Le Studio. I really like my old AKG D190 for snares and I used a JZ V11 a lot for deep rich baritone vocals.
It's not an SPL issue, like a pop screen for vocals it's the air directly going into the capsule that causes the issue. I've found myself angling a FET 47 away from the air coming of the kick before and now after watching Nani do this I might try it instead!
Currently recording drums with lewitt pure tube as mono overhead, lewitt lct 040 for close cymbal mics, akg d112 for kick in and audio technica at2035 with pad engaged for kick out, sm57 snare top, pyle pro mics for rack toms, sm58 floor tom. The pure tube on overhead is a game changer for sure. I have uploaded a short on my channel you can check it out! love your stuff warren!
Many drummers use batter heads on the bottom of toms to control resonance instead of say, using batter side dampeners/moon gels/tea towels. So it's not so much about one tone being objectively "better" it's about what's better for what you're doing and/or what your tastes are. For instance, Matt Garstka from Animals As Leaders and Luke Holland have both used batter heads on the bottom of their toms both live and in the studio for this very reason. I.e controlling resonance.
It's all a matter of what sound you are after! Resonance can sometimes be better achieved with batter heads on the bottom. So many differenet ways to record!
Given this chap’s ability to demonstrate drum sounds so well, verbally... couldn’t he simply ‘beatbox’ it, rather than record a physical kit..? I don’t happen to own any Lewitt mics... could I get away with not mic’ing up a hi-hat with an old Shure 545 instead... or would not mic’ing a hi-hat with a dynamic mic provide inferior results to not mic’ing it with a condenser..?
Interesting the difference in philosophy. Schneider wants lots of options while many (most? Albini for example ) engineers say get the one sound you want up front and stick with that. Btw, check out his shoes... once you see it you can't unsee it.🤣
Hi Jason, Steve Albini used a lot of mics, all the same standards such as Michael Beinhorn would use, the basics of the '90s, AKG, Shure etc. Moses is getting the sound, the compression he does is printed like that!
Yes, to further Warren's point, their approaches are actually more similar than they are different. They're both using a lot of mics that they may or may not use from one mix or part of a mix to the next and they're both making decisions and committing to them/their sound on the front end and printing it. I'd say the only marked difference between their respective approaches would be the amount of compression they use. That being said, if Moses recorded more of the kind of music Albini did and vice versa, that could very well change. They are also very similar in that they both use gating in creative and/or problem solving ways.
I have to intervene to correct something.😬 Neu! and Kraftwerk had nothing to do with Hansa Studio and the legend himself, Conny Plank, certainly not at all. He spent the first few years working in Cologne, Hamburg and Düsseldorf, among other places, until he founded his own studio in Wolperath. But no offence, I love your channel, I've learned a lot here!😘

10 mics for a DW Bass Drum 1 mic For a Ludwig Bass Drum ...sorry lol
@@paolotonolo1140 you use 10 mics on a DW Kick?
lewitt pure tube mic as drums mono overhead, game changer.

@@soundmanlab659 marvellous!
Always a good time when PLAP and Moses get together! Thanks PLAP and Lewitt mics!
Thanks ever so much!
i was fortunate to record vocals with Moses in Berlin. Moses is hands down one of the best in the world. He is legit and I cherish those moments.
That's amazing to hear!
Yes, we love Moses! He Rocks!
One of my favourite videos you've ever done thank you
Wow, thank you!
I really appreciate it!

Superb! Thanks E Rock! You Rock!
Great video! learned a lot! Thanks warren and the team!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love Moses! I'm a drummer and I record myself all the time, so this is goldmine stuff!, thanks Warren and the team!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Ye,s wonderful drummer!
I am forever thankful for your channel. I wouldn't be anywhere near as good as I am in as short of a time if it wasn't for your channel. I'm hoping to get in to one of your master classes or even record with you some day! Keep it up!
Thanks ever so much! I really apprecate it!
Wow, great technique, AND this engineer seems like a very cool guy to hang around with! Great video
Thanks ever so much Ron!
Gotta love the shoes
Haha indeed!

awesome. Pus the slippers are a plus.
Thanks ever so much!
LOVE the slippers! I also wore them!
Wow those periscope mics sound crazy. But are these guys from scope labs still arround? Homepage down, can not buy anywhere.
That's a VERY good question! I don't know the answer to that!
Great stuff. Wondering why the pop filter on the FET 47? Didn't think they ever had a problem with kick SPL.
It's not an SPL issue, like a pop screen for vocals it's the air directly going into the capsule that causes the issue. I've found myself angling a FET 47 away from the air coming of the kick before and now after watching Nani do this I might try it instead!

The Lewitt LCT 040 is truly an amazing mic! Inexpensive and sounds amazing!
Solid. What's the band he's recording here?
The artist is Safi: ruclips.net/channel/UCARlBiIwEMuj4lUk4FmkCdA
Best shoes in the game
Haha yes, indeed
Why use a batter head on the bottom of the tom where a resonant head would achieve a better tone?

Agreed Anodyne! Thanks for sharing!
No mention of the aluminium foil that was suspended on the floor Tom side of the kit 😢
I assume you mean the steel thundersheet?
😂❤
Thanks ever so much!

Of course! Use whatever mics you have to hand! No hard and fast rules!
I guess my taste is different. Cool to see a different approach with a different result in mind - personally I do not like the sound that much.
Exactly! There are so many different sounds we can achieve and not everyone likes the same sounds!
Interesting the difference in philosophy. Schneider wants lots of options while many (most? Albini for example ) engineers say get the one sound you want up front and stick with that. Btw, check out his shoes... once you see it you can't unsee it.🤣

@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer thanks ever so much for the great comment!
P.S I also wore the slippers while I was there! 3 of us did!
Fark Me! 🤔 Like recording your first drum session on acid.
Sure! Aciiiiiiid!
I'm sorry. I was listening but then I got distracted by dude's slippers.
They are fantastic slippers!
I have to intervene to correct something.😬
Neu! and Kraftwerk had nothing to do with Hansa Studio and the legend himself, Conny Plank, certainly not at all. He spent the first few years working in Cologne, Hamburg and Düsseldorf, among other places, until he founded his own studio in Wolperath.
But no offence, I love your channel, I've learned a lot here!😘
Not sure I equated them specifically to Hansa, just the revolution that was Deutsch music in the late ‘60s and ‘70s that changed music!
@@Producelikeapro
It truly did.
I love the old Krautrock records, especially the ones where Conny Plank was turning the knobs. 🥰
@RahmSchnitzelStudio agreed 100%!
Seems like a lot of fun and a lot of bullshit
