Louis Cole | Recreating Iconic Drum Sounds

[@nathanaeldavenport2251]

Just goes to show that the magic sauce in LC’s drum sound is… him. You could approximate his sound with almost any kit, and I’ve tried. What I don’t have is his nervous energy, left-handedness, and endurance - he is one of the most athletic drummers I’ve ever seen.

[@JumpStop1]

Luis once said that he would use the microphone from his laptop. Definitely a unique sound from a unique drummer!

[@nope5994]

you can hear it in his first album the drums sound awful but it works quite well

[@zkassai.audio.2]

It's like he breaks "rules" on purpose. Even for drum mixing, which is one of the areas of mizing where you're most likely to see aggressive, destructive compression and drive, Louis just pushes it to hell

[@teodordl]

In a masterclass, he told everyone that he put the garageband distortion on the master channel, then was told not to by mastering engineers, then did it anyway

[@Maplefoxx-vl2ew]

the laptop is actually part of the band, they meme on this in their videos often , i love how silly Louis is.. also I need this drum pack.. instant buy, what a legend ArtofDrumming is for making this.. i need this kinda raw sound for my video game music it mixes with synth music very well

[@TachyBunker]

@@zkassai.audio.2 i personally think it's more of a "cool laziness" it doesn't take too much effort but it's a sound that can be liked. I myself loved "crappy sound" from old retro consoles, sometimes the crunchy MP3 compression, or from mod tracker music files. So this is right up my alley! More time to compose and less indulging in getting a "standard sound" for no reason.

[@coreyw5981]

Haha i love how pascal really gets into the chracter. Even chose to play at the top of the stairs and wear jammies😆

[@sterlingpratt4901]

In Fuck It Up Louis is actually striking the bell in groupings of 3, not 2 like Pascal plays. Which is just bananas.

[@pascal_thielen]

I was trying to blend both Louis‘ and Nate Wood‘s parts. But doing the Louis part for as long as the song is, is admittedly very exhausting 😅

[@sterlingpratt4901]

@@pascal_thielen your rendition was stellar, thanks for the video and all your hard work! 😁🔥

[@Brunototguitar]

"Just bananas"? Bc of one more hit on the bell... The art of insulting in the tech era, jezz....

[@sterlingpratt4901]

@@Brunototguitar this wasn't meant as an insult, it's just pointing out how impressive the original part is. Pascal is an extremely talented player and I appreciated this video very much. I'm a huge fan of this channel and of Louis Cole. I'm not sure if English is your native language but calling something "bananas" means it's crazy, or doesn't make any sense. I'm saying the original part that Louis Cole plays is crazy difficult. That's not meant to insult Pascal's attempt at all. Also, it might not seem like a huge difference, but the grouping of 3 notes is SIGNIFICANTLY harder to play. I hope in the future you can approach people with a little more optimism.

[@rafa_rds]

@@sterlingpratt4901 you said everything right, my man. Those groupings of 3 notes are really hard to play, because the coordination u gotta have have to be on point, to not flam the snare with the bell, it gotta be a unisom. It is difficult because you're doing a triple with the right, and gotta have the independence to do a full motion with the left hand. Also, Louis Cole always changes the bass drum pattern on songs, which makes life even harder.

[@hwangman]

Thank you for covering Louis and his sound! I find his style endlessly inspiring and off the wall. Bonus points for nailing the video FX in the cover.

[@Abaddon231]

I think you nailed that sound ! Also nice to know he approaches recording very minimalistic, easy and budget oriented

[@dhaitmanek]

you sir, Pascal, are awesome. And extra awesome for doing this piece on the mighty Louis Cole!

[@stevereed2472]

At first you said he uses cheap entry level drums, but then Saya he usually used a Ludwig black beauty. Only one of the most expensive snares on thr market lol

[@matrixv01]

Love Louis Cole, Knower, and CLOWNCORE. Great video.

[@gabrielcayer2705]

Louis Cole has emphatically rejected the idea that he has anything to do with Clownc0re, stop associating him with that nonsense.

[@mister.catfish]

@@gabrielcayer2705 clowncore denier

[@aer0plane_]

who let clowncore in the mix, Louis would never clown around!

[@evanc.1591]

I don't know what Clownc0re has to do with these other bands, they're not affiliated at all.

[@vulfura]

The drummer from clowncore has a mask, Louis doesn’t, so he’s not the same guy

[@doofs]

i had no clue you guys did a video on LC until now!! by far one of my favourite modern drummers.

[@Brandondrumkc]

We love all of Louis's amazing music but we all know what his best group is. Lol

[@coreyw5981]

CLOWNCORE!!

Everything about this video is great! Fantastic job y’all.

[@KinktendoShamecube]

This is everything I could have hoped for and then some

[@SamFrenchMusician]

Loved this breakdown, Louis' drum sound is so distinctive and I presume very difficult to recreate. Great work!

[@andrewpappas9311]

I’ve never heard of Louis Cole but I gotta admit that his minimalist setup is pretty cool, I’d love to see a video on Nick Mason, Joey Kramer (Aerosmith), Matt Halpern, Max Weinberg (Bruce Springsteen), Ginger Baker, John Densmore (The Doors), Patrick Carney (Thd Black Keys), Bill Bruford, Matt Garstka (Animals As Leaders), Aaron Solowonuik (Billy Talent), Tim “Herb” Alexander (Primus) or Brandon Barnes (Rise Against) if you haven’t gotten to any of them yet

[@RBDrums]

dude, seconded on matt halpern's sound, especially with the new periphery album and the crazy powerful drum sound on it

[@andrewpappas9311]

@@RBDrums Yeah, his playing on all Periphery's material is awesome. Absolute beast of a player and definitely one of the best modern metal drummers imo

[@thedrinkerofH2O]

oh my god these are two of my favourite louis cole songs and you people recreated them perfectly, sincerely thank you art of drumming!

[@vladusponuns]

Cool! That is amazing! ❤

JD Beck recreation next please!

THAT was BRILLIANT!

[@BadWallaby]

Louis paved the way for guys like Marc Rebeillet and I fucking love him for it

[@SuidAkrA1]

Hey 👋 I really enjoyed this sound recreation, but I thought the march episode would be the sound of Korn!?

[@SuidAkrA1]

Hey Jungs von AOD, zunächst mal tausend Dank für solch geilen und offensichtlich extrem aufwändigen Drum Content! Chapeau! Trotzdem, um meine Chancen zu erhöhen, dass ihr vielleicht antwortet, möchte ich hiermit nochmal locker flockig auf meine Frage verweisen. Wäre cool, von euch zu hören. LG ein Fanboy ❤️🤟🥁😘

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Wir mussten leider verlegen. Kommt im April.

[@chrislopez1391]

hell yes, luv Louis Cole and this vid. Atom Willard, Jimmy Chamberlin or Tim Alexander of Primus would be a great drummers to cover in a vid!

[@Xero_Untermensch13]

Johnny kelly from type o negative?

We need the bass drum fill of Overtime

[@PossiblyOfficialStickyNote]

Please do one on Morgan Rose from Sevendust. Or Abe Cunningham of Deftones. Or both idc.

[@nikolaiplotnikov7243]

The drum sounds you should tag on in the future should be Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest.

[@Khempejjer]

Great job :)

[@ttikki]

Not a word on the brickwall limiting employed on louis tracks (kick and snare specialy) ?

[@mcruz9063]

you guys should do the drum sound for Cissy Strut by The Meters

[@TiqueO6]

Zigaboo Modeliste!

[@sortebill]

you taped down that crash a little too much, but other than that it's pretty much spot on

[@jao_banana779]

All them witches drum sound pls

[@hiptoalieu]

Fun FACT! On "EFF it up" (LOL) Louis uses a cheapo splash, on his tom rather than a bell...

[@Jesus6onzalez]

Just use 18" bass drum?

[@mousasha-]

The floor tom sounds like the default musescore 4 floor tom lol

[@ArtOfDrumming]

Maybe we should do a musescore 4 recreation then 😄😄

[@smitske1990]

I love every single one of those recreating video's! But the fact you havent done a video about the greatest groove master Steve Jordan yet, is a serious drumable offense ;)

[@coreyw5981]

I mean what snare sound would you even choose? Frick, John Mayer's Continuum has like at least 7 different snare sounds, even

[@smitske1990]

@@coreyw5981 the high funk tunings are pretty much his signature sound

[@coreyw5981]

@@smitske1990 ah okay. My favorite is still his swampy fat tuning used in a couple tunes

[@sentry6332]

I love Louis cole, man. Another drummer you could tackle is Mario Duplantier, of Gojira. He’s the most unique metal drummer today, and his sound engineering is crazy.

[@NelliliebtChemie]

Then you need to check out Luke Holland, Alex Rudinger, Zev Rose and Matt Garstka. Those are some unique drummers.

[@hazardeur]

@@NelliliebtChemie exactly. duplantier is good but he's nothing special with all the god drummers around these days. also, as long as haake is around, the number one for metal drummer is safely secured with him. always fresh ideas, pushing boundaries and sounds like he powers the machinations of hell and a ton of style. doesn't get any more metal than that.

[@sirkibble4135]

now do clowncore from clowncore. I would love to see pascal recreate the drum sound from clowncores first album. And Brendan Fraser would be such a good song to cover. Thanks for this video as well AOD.

[@jonashellborg8320]

Good work covering Louis Cole! It’s not easy to do. Very specific setup, and fast and dense drumming in a very specific style. I love small setups myself, as I live in a large city and travelling with lots of gear sucks. Good work covering Louis’ own stuff, KNOWer, but you missed one project. Just saying….
