I know it may not be what was said at the 'microphones' chapter, but as it got ambiguous, this is my 2 cents. Tuning in drums (and you can use the same case to cymbal choices also) interferes directly on how drums project and most important: it's about style, you'll never have a snare projecting strong and loud when you tune it low and has it muffled in comparison to a medium high rocking rimshots. This may imply different fader balances and eq moves as you change tuning, drumheads and snarewires to fit the style you're after, because it sound different at every different tuning, but with different drum tunings you'll never end up with similar results.
About drummer wanting to really play on the click, it is my case indeed. But I really pay attention to the first time I play a new track with the click. If there is a part where i'm a little late or early from the click, it means I feel it that way and I don't need to edit because the songs need that little change.
for me i'd prefer the drum performance to be as tight as possible while still leaving wiggle room for other instruments than the other way around, imo sounds more natural that way.
I know what you mean. You can get away with more timing issues on the other instruments with hypertight drums. I record a lot of fast stuff though. And here the hypertight editing puts me off more and more. Gets very clinical and boring quickly.
Great video. LISTENING critically to each individual track for a few seconds may identify a noise/distraction. For example, a hi hat pedal needing to be oiled up. Caught it early in the very recording thankfully.
Don't you think the Pal/NTSC format should hit the small/big drum rig topic, as well as the 44,1/48 Khz sampling rates, not to call out floating 32 bit recording?! Safe and Sound, nice talks. Songs, on a drum set? I've thought those were beats. Not to mention how many folks in a band could play the same drums. I don't know. Namastè.
I hope some bands, producers, engineers come in and absolutely smash the current decade long trend of this Prog Metal Drum sound. Crushed to death and Boring for a decade.
Kohle wants his drummers to be consistent but than makes fun of someone for using a vibrating metronome to keep the time...ok 🤔 (They also make things like this that you can wear on your wrist or arm, btw).
Need more NOLLY? Check out his course here:

Superb video again from Nolly and Kristian! Loved every second of this video!
Nolly got that perfect head shape man
for real, he fuckin rocks the bald
Ha!
That's where the tone comes from. Not the same tonewood, pickups or speakers. 🤣
the tone is in the dome
The perfect dome 😂
2 gigantic engineers 🤘
Few hair but a lot of humility..
And the big secret : The passion !
Nolly, through experience, knows his shit!!! Respect!
I've only bought 2 other courses before. Looks like this will be number 3!
Great info!
I hope Nolly get involved in more content for the Kvlt! Would be awesome having him for a mixing ritual!
I’ll work on it!
A ton of great drum nollydge
How could I not come up with that word so far. Damn! 🥳🙀
Not even mad
Best combo on this planet 🔥

Thank you two for sharing your rich experience ! You're awesome guys \m/
Our pleasure!
Great chat
Informative and inspiring. Thank you
Nozzy rocks!
nOzzy Osbourne?
Nolly is king. Change my mind.
Nolly is great because he really pays attention to even the smallest details. Not many mixers can tune a drum. Lol
That's something I learned right form the start. Because most drummers can't...
Thanks gentlemen!
Our pleasure!
enjoyed it so much

that was excellent, tank you! and yes, throne sub kicks are a sex toy!
kreat kohle kontent konversation! 🤘🔥
Thanks man! I'm also happy you added the fourth K-word!
You all could have easily talked drums for another hour and I'd be all in. Thanks fellas!
I’ve got another 45 minutes of us talking. Maybe something for the academy?

So what is the beat detective equivalent in Logic or Cubase?
We were talking about manual editing.
Cubase does have something like that.
Don’t think there’s a fancy name for it. I don’t use it though.
Did nolly set up the drums for craig reynolds livestream? They sounded so good
I don’t know about the setup (I imagine they worked together on that), but he gave Craig a custom mix template that he is now playing through.
🔥

It's not a metronome. It's a monitor for bass frequencies that makes you feel the low end.
And don't get me wrong. That thing was quite impressive!
