it is so refreshing to hear REAL drums without any samples and bull shit overdone processing on them. I can't stand how alot of modern metal bands sound. You might as well have the computer write the music too. But this is great and these Lauten drum mics sound fuckin sick.

Man I can’t decide between this and the Clarion. My budget says Clarion but I love the versatility this mic offers.

I’ve been soaking up tons of content about the Lauten Clarion and Atlantis. I think this sealed the deal for me on the Clarion. It’s just perfect for my budget and needs.

What mics and stands did you use to record this session?

What other mics were you using on the rest of the kit including bass,snare overheads and room mics!

Did I miss something? No discussion on what brand-year-sizes on ANYTHING???? I’d love to know what the china is.

On the preferring the whole kit sound. I've noticed that engineers like yourself often the che's special is the choice of snare & hats. Combined with the choice of overhead setup, room + room mics. Often the boss-level mics are dedicated to those roles (C12, U47/U67, Coles, AEA). Kick, snare, tom seems to be a bit more common in approach. Usually it's one of a handful of variations of mics in similar positions. But the difference is, home recordists don't have access to a snare and cymbal library, a lovely sounding large room or those high-end room mics. A decent close mic sound is cheaper / easier to achieve in a so so room. Which then sort of led to a close mic'd becoming the common drum sound for DiY home recorded indie music of the past 20 years. Then if you need the large studio drum room sound, might be better to go to a great studio.

I liked the video and the content but could you guys please speak full sentences and not leave the last words out to be guessed 😬

Ummm... make more of them? 🤨

One on One studios is recognized as one of the best for sound quality when it comes to drums.

The snare on evil empire is so nasty, along with those killer beats.

Ive always liked drums that ring. An accoustic kit sounds great the way it is. I hate when engineers take all ring out with yhe idea" well add it later". Record it like an accoustic guitar. Let it sound how it sounds naturally

I was impressed by the drums being recorded to tape

Very good! Congratulations 👏👏👏👏 I love Lauten Áudio

Thanks!

Just sold me on a pair of 220s. Thanks 🙏

Hey guys, what china cymbal did you use for this?

This video is just silly. To begin with, as much as I love Metallica, the drum sound was TERRIBLE and the overall production was barely listenable on albums 1-4, so they had a very VERY low bar to surpass on the Black Album. Secondly, to be drooling over how unbelievable that kit sounds and to stand there shaking their heads going "wow", like they are all 15 years old? Come on. ALL Gretsch kits sound better than the Tama kits Lars was playing and likely recording on. To get a great drum sound with that kit, in what is obviously a great sounding, gigantic room with a super high ceiling, anyone could do. No disrespect to the decades of experience, but it's like Ross said: Not Much To Do Here. The Black Album was not seminal, it was polarizing. Master Of Puppets was and is, seminal; the Black Album is in no way Metallica's best album, it's just the one that made them a household name and got them airplay on regular rotation and not after midnight. or on Headbanger's Ball on MTV. And, it's the first album they did that engineering and production wasn't complete shite. I would give the sound of the record a "Very Good". But the real issue for me is, when I listen to Motley Crue's Dr Feelgood album, it's the same drum sound. So even if Lars' drum sound sucked on the first 4 albums, it was HIS drum sound, not Bob Rock's. At least it was unique, and you could tell instantly that it was Lars- the terrible, boxy, non musical sound of his kit- at least it was recognizable as him. I can't even imagine how PISSED Tama Drums must have been for Lars to come out of the closet and say, "yeah, Ross hooked me up with a killer old Gretsch kit. That's how I got the most massive drum sound of my career" in Modern Drummer magazine. That was what we (every drummer in San Diego) were talking about at the drum shop I worked at when the album came out.

You are iconic Brad

The best snare ring was Zig from the Meters. The best snare sound ever

4:59 The snare the myth the legend!

Is it even legal to play with this much groove ?

He talks so much to the tongue of the success.

Hello Lauten Audio, I hope you read this message. For weeks now I have been devouring all the content on the internet about your microphones and I am in love with them. I'm from Brazil and here we are facing a major economic crisis and recently I had to sell one of my work tools, a Neumann TLM 107. Unfortunately Lauten Audio is not present in Brazil and due to the current import taxes on foreign products we are no longer managing to import anything. Continue producing these magnificent microphones, you are to be congratulated, you deserve applause for all the care and respect you show with the unique microphones you have produced. One day I will have a Lauten Audio 357. A big hug to everyone at Lauten Audio who are creating true works of art! Long life!!!

The Tama "Bell Brass" is perhaps the ultimate snare drum. A true piece of art.

I purchased the Atlantis once I heard the song and I really enjoyed this mic 🎤

Dudes a f**king genius- awesome

"why is there so little hi hat bleed?" Lets move onto something else.

Can I buy this vst? Where?

Put your foot on the rock

Just missing the Kip Winger poster 😂

Who provides the mic's, the studio? The producer? Drum Doc?

i cant believe it takes all these people to get an utterly unremarkable drum sound in a multi million dollar studio on a legendary console...., just an observation

Next

It's missing the signature Jake Reed "sample pack"

Sad thinking the AI music makers are probably analyzing/ripping the audio and impulse responses from everything posted online -

These mics are craaazy! Not for my 1$ budget though🥲 awesome sound❤

The drum sound they get with just the X/Y mics at 15:09 reminds me of the drum sound on the "Creatures Of The Night" album by Kiss.

Super... Good 👍👍👍👍

Last year, they sold 2 mil worth of t-shirts 😂 Really drives home how massive Metallica are that their t-shirt sales could cover an album recording.

It kinda sucks that Paul has been stuck in Lombardo’s shadow for most of his career because he is thrash drumming royalty. He’s laid down some killer tracks with so many iconic bands

Can I play 2 ??? I think I can do this 😅😅😅

That is some nice 16th note moeller action on the high hat.

now put Dave Lombardo behind that kit so he can give those drums a beating it deserves!

Ron foley n cassidy

Liar kel

Well today’s my birthday!!!!!

For some reason I was expecting the snare to sound exactly like the album in the final product… I was expecting it to sound more… Snappy? Explosive? Am I wrong for thinking that?

I have a 14x6.5 DW Black Nickel Over Brass snare drum, and it’s killer awesome!!!!! I love the way it sounds!!!!! Plus, it’s more affordable than a Ludwig Black Beauty snare, so there you go. That’s my main snare drum and it sounds awesome!!! I never recorded with it, but when I do, I know it’ll sound killer!!!!!!!!

Those toms are cannons
