AAX
sabian.com/cym...
AAX cymbals from SABIAN introduce a whole new palette of sound. A whole new style of hammering − much more visible on the surface of the cymbal due to the larger, rounder peen makes for added darkness and complexity. At the same time, more highs are introduced into the sound, resulting in a wider band of frequency. For drummers, that means brighter highs and more complex lows. SABIAN has always pushed the boundaries of innovation, using the latest manufacturing technology to answer new trends in music and sound. AAX cymbals are no exception.
-
HHX
sabian.com/cym...
With HHX, we opened up a brave new world of sound possibility by taking dark, musically rich tone, and making it cut. So no matter what kind of music you play, HHX makes it easy to get your dark mojo working. Are you ready to unleash your dark?
-
XSR
sabian.com/cym...
Why is XSR so good? Like our other professional series cymbals, XSR cymbals are pin-point lathed and hammered. Their profiles have been enhanced and their bells reshaped and redesigned to accelerate the overall sound. The result? Crashes are thinner, with quicker responses. Rides provide a tasty balance of stick definition and tonal wash. And Hats are crispy and accurate, with boosted clarity and cut. Try a set on today and find out what the buzz is all about.

The guy is playing kick and snare at the same time, all the time, and you can't hear a single flam anywhere. The guy is a machine!

[@annegretkasten6277]

The same says the band. 😂

[@samuelandrekronvold3734]

While you can argue his drum parts are simple, that's where the beauty is. Schneider keeps the tempo perfectly, plays without flaws and genuinely is one of the best drummers out there. He knows how to bring and maintain simplicity to perfectly bind together songs.

[@volpe_sol]

Christoph is a very underrated drummer. Maybe because he plays mostly "simple" parts, but people often forget what it takes as a band member to bring so much originality and uniqueness to the creation of the sound and music. Chris and Rammstein are fucking awesome!!

[@TheChnecht]

i like to play 7/8 and all that fancy stuff on the drums but especially when it is way below your actual skill level, simple stuff, at least to me, seems to be pretty damn hard since you do the same thing over and over again and still have to be percise so yeah... it indeed is a skill for itself to play simple stuff so cleanly and powerful as he does.

[@UweMinge]

lvolpe - In Fact, that’s the Point!

[@bphcx]

Thats because people are obsessed with double triggered base drums and stuff, and people also think the faster the better... 🤷‍♂️

[@deepterror612]

@Tim Tim you kinda just proved the other guy right about double base

[@jacksonsmith1235]

ehm you know what he is called like by his band members? Metronome....that says it all! He mighty play "simple" parts, but he does it like a machine....

[@rosavetrov5981]

I'm not a drummer, I'm a simple girl, and I just want to say that he's one of the most handsome men in the world. Thank you Sabian for this interview.

I'm just a simple girl, I see Schneider , I click! I would listen to him for hours if only there were more interviews with him. But honestly, what a true artist he is!! They all are! Apart from the music, which we're all here for , their dedication and commitment to everything they put out is out of this world!

[@cthumann]

Rammstein is a band that is the sum of all parts together, not the individual parts themselves. A true play for the song band, not the individual. This is why they are one of the best bands ever. In my opinion.

[@annegretkasten6277]

He is one part of Rammstein. They are struggling for every song. Their producer said, it nerves. 😂

Schneider is so precious and so handsome 😍

[@annabella1476]

Thepomafame theres a couple interviews uploaded on here from around 2009 where christophs english was quite thick, he paused often and had trouble articulating words. his accent of course is still very thick, but the change is noticeable!

Never heard Christoph speak English before, very eloquent 🙂and his drumming is just epic too!

I could watch him play all day and never get bored.

[@markydee48]

Here you have a German band that has attracted worldwide interest from so many fans. They speak English and have songs with words in other languages. That speaks volumes of the band. Christoph is very underrated. He doesn't play anything too complex yet his drumming is such an integral part of the band and provides so much sound and a rather unusual mix of techno beats with modern metal, he just made it work so perfectly. This band has come up with some of the heaviest riffs in metal with a sound that is so hard to replicate. just listen to Ich Tu Dir Weh and tell me if your head doesn't want to go through cinder blocks.

[@Pannemann666]

Man. This dude is so down to earth

[@thewomanwithnohead]

It took me a full minute to realise that Schneider was not speaking in German ! Fascinating interview and great pro shots, it felt really nice to watch that kind of very unusual content for Rammstein !

[@reinhardt5405]

He's handsome asf. He looks like those vintage classy dappers. Come to think of it, he's always been a good looking guy. Now he's aging like wine. Oh and he's a fantastic drummer as well XD

He's such a nice and humble person. I met him twice in 2014 and he was so down to earth and took patiently a picture with me and signed an autograph 😊 These moments are unforgettable and I think the Stadium concert in July this year will be too 🤩 I don't know nothing about drums playing but what I know is that he's a genius at what he's doing like all the other 5 members are ☺️

[@CorridorOfChameleons94]

Christoph always had some pretty powerful double bass in his songs. Very good drummer.

[@sn00pgreen]

this guy always knew how to get a great drum sound..

[@Thepomafame]

Schneider is so damn cute

[@megporter1055]

I love how Schneider’s playing can be as delicate as can be or as heavy as being hit by a lead filled baseball bat.

[@cyozdemir113]

I'm always amazed by how essential every member of this band. Christoph is always one of my favorite drummer and this video proves this again. In studio or in concert, the drums are always on point, always so satisfying. Such an amazing band. And my god Deutschland.. Thanks.

[@TheYeHaW]

Ich feier seinen Schnurrbart einfach so sehr! 🙂 It is for me always impressive to see how humble he and the entire Band is.

[@whiskeyflames7603]

Love this! The sound is amazing! I need a live dvd from 2019, because the stage setup is so far the absolute best; I hope we'll get it soon :)

[@davidvilchez2209]

Keep wishing lol They take their time and hopefully it will be back to their original Volkerball and Live Aus Berlin style of editing...there are fan made multi cams that are pretty decent like the Moscow show or the current Live Aus Berlin tapings

[@hansolo8080]

I love those little moments in between, especially after reading the last book of Flake. Like Till coming to Schneiders' set giving thumbs up and in the end, almost in the fade to black, Olli comes running over to him and is totally excited. It's so weird for somebody who can't grasp the popularity of this band and seeing that these guys are almost the same characters that they were in the 90s. Thank you for this video.

[@wackerburg]

Everyone in the band and all the people who work with and for them is a professional human being. The are very dedicated and creative people who work hard and never settle for less than 100%. Since the beginning, it actually never changed much, but the scale of the outcome "just" grew. Respect for this amount of persistance. Rammstein was always very true to the band's vision. Last but not least, all of the bandmembers are honest and humble persons. They don't brag, they strive for the best and deliver.

[@annalisek]

Many people who worked with Rammstein say that they are very professional - being on time, doing their work, no bragging

[@Crucent]

I am so happy and grateful that I got to see RAMMSTEIN live on a stadiumtour-concert once in my life! It was a year ago but I can still feel the bass in my chest if I close my eyes^^ Best stadium band out there IMO.
