[@zorroinhell5549]

What are the shell of this set made of? Another valuable video Warren, Thanks.

[@Czyszy]

Not a recording technique but still a cool trick. You can Frequency Shift and EQ Match your auxilary snare/kick sample so they blend better with the live drums!

[@GeoffBosco]

I taped a piezo to the wall of my drum room, for huge room sound. I was able to crush it to bits because there was really good cymbal rejection.

[@MarcBecker_Music]

In fact, I love to use Moses Wurst's technique to have the possibility to add a lot of excitement to my drum sounds if needed.

[@HR2635]

well .. dirt mic.. take a cheap dynamic and point it into a wall or corner.. 2-3m from the kit... or 1 cm above the floor pointing down. And then put a distressor on it at full Monty. The Wurst mic I use ALWAYS.

[@phillipemery572]

MS is the absolute master. So creative and so vital. Glad you finally were able to get him on!

[@Producelikeapro]

He truly is!

[@WaBoo78]

Moses is a real drum Wizard. the Gandalf of drum recording and drum producing! 100% inspiring 😎

[@Producelikeapro]

Moses is the real deal!

[@PrantoKoX]

Absolutely DELIGHTED to see Moses featured here, and explaining some of his supercreative ideas & tricks!! 👍🏻👍🏻 The man is a true treasure, creatively well off the beaten track and regrettably too often off the radar of the usual USA/UK recording & studio biz focus. Kudos x 1000 for this! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes, Moses is superb! Wonderful man and very talented!

[@cao77]

I love Mose’s techniques. I’ve read his book and applied his inconvetional techniques so many times. Specially when recording everybody together. The Würst miking is always present in my drum recordings.

[@Producelikeapro]

That's amazing to hear! Thanks ever so much for sharing!

[@busywl69]

I am beyond impressed with this guy.

[@Producelikeapro]

[@adrianwagner336]

i never would have thought of putting a mic THERE!! 🤔 or that kind of mic so many new and exiting concepts to try...thank you Warren and thank YOU Moses!

[@Producelikeapro]

You're so welcome! Moses Rocks!

[@customcutstudios]

I love the Droom concept! I often put room mics behind walls, gobo’s, or doors which eliminates lots of cymbals and you can get a huge drum sound, However… you do have to deal with the flamming which can be a pain to get right. This seems like same result but 100 times easier. Can’t wait to try it. Mind blowing end of this video with Moses’ sound design ideas! This Information Age is truly inspiring with access to people like Warren and Moses Schneider’s brilliant minds!

[@Producelikeapro]

Well done on finally getting Moses on your channel!... he is a creative genius - so innovative in his thinking about mic techniques. A few years back I bought his book "The Alternative Workbook - or How to Pimp Your Practice Room", which is excellent, and included the "wurst" mic technique, which I've used. Droom and Snare-O are equally cool ideas, thanks!

[@Producelikeapro]

Ja, Moses ist sehr gut! Super!

[@telsutton]

One of my favourite videos so far from PLAP. Would love a further deep dive on Moses' editing techniques, perhaps as they get closer to the release of the pack? His drum ideas aren't too far from my own, but I got most of those tips from phone conversations with Glyn Johns 30 years ago, when I was but a young lad (who'd managed to crib his number from New Model Army's 'Slade The Leveller'). The best piece of advice: 'keep a tape measure handy'.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much for sharing that! Very cool info indeed

[@pablorubens1686]

Moses makes recording fun. His Alternative Workbook is great. I never record drums without a wurst now.

[@Producelikeapro]

He’s absolutely wonderful! Huge fan of his!

[@cao77]

Me neither, I’ve read it so many times. Since then, there’s no recording without the wurst.

[@barnyardrecordings]

@@cao77 Just wurst and overheads, in a pinch.

Its refreshing and inspiring to see a man with such a track record and still maintains this childlike enthusiasm and such an emotional bond with his craft and with the music This guy hasn’t forgotten why he is doing what he is doing I shared this clip with a young engineer I befriended recently he is 28 I will be 62 and he told me - Udi he reminds me of you… I told him I consider this as a big compliment

The German pronunciation of "Röde" blows my mind on how cool it sounds! 😎

Well… it’s not that correct either. We don’t have the letter ø here in Germany. It’s Scandinavian. But it’s pronounced somewhat like our ö. 😁

Fascinating information!

[@Producelikeapro]

[@andrewhartnett2140]

Have Moses and Trent Reznor ever worked together bc these drum sounds give me some NIN feelings in the best possible way. It’s far from imitation. It is shared aesthetic. Of course hip hop rules the world with these sample pack/beat packs but I’m hearing industrial glory mixed with some of the great aggrotech vibes of Germany. Loving the European focus lately. It turns out Europeans have a culture and have contributed to the great works of human art after all.

[@Producelikeapro]

I'm not sure? It would be amazing if they did though!

[@J-DUB-F1]

Very inspiring stuff!!..........I've always wanted to try a room mic that was close to the kit, but facing the opposite direction. I'm going to try it with my old SM7. I'm prepping to do a drum session next month for the first time in 5yrs!.....and I'm needing some inspiration.........VOILA' !! 😊🙏

[@hervey782]

[@Nullllus]

41:20 hits like a ton of bricks! so cool!

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes!!

[@createlovehappy]

Wow I think he just solved my issues with having a crappy room sound, low ceilings, etc. with wurst and snareo technique. Now I just need more mics and inputs. The Droom technique sounds cool. I thought Blumlein was cool in front of a kit, but this is really exciting and I can’t wait to try this.

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes! It's a great technique!

[@Producelikeapro]

[@blackbearstudio]

I'm a huge fan of Moses and applying his wurst micing technique on every drum's rec. I've some questions for him : - Aren't 441 mics are supercardioids and not hypercardioids ? As i plan to use my telefunken M81 (supercardioids) for Drooms ;-) - And aren't NT5 are cardioids or do you use NT-45 O omni capsule on its ? Can't wait my next drum rec session to try your wunderbar creative techniques 🙂 Danke sehr !!!

Snario, drooms, wurst is best? The engineering is interesting!

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes, great techniques, they all sound wonderful and Moses is a marvellous communicator!

[@Mister_Jahn]

I prefer a single mono overhead mic, usually my modified Rode Nt2 in omni and I hit it with few compressors, none of which are compressing very heavily. I also avaoid SM 57s on snares... nothing wrong with them I just have others I prefer like my vintage AKG D190 E... get it real close to the shell.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks for sharing!

[@felixdorn21]

One question: Moses says he ended up with the omni polar pattern for the SnareO, but then he uses the RODE NT5 Mics, which are cardioid - or can you switch polar patterns on those? Best regards and Moses rulez! 🙂

[@Producelikeapro]

That's a good question! Maybe Moses can answer it here?

Please forgive my ignorance and misunderstanding... When he is presenting the "Wurst" mic technique, is he saying "cheese bell"? Like a dish to keep cheese in? Can someone politely explain his analogy? Thank you!

What point in the video does he say that? Thanks

[@austinbridge]

@@Producelikeapro 3:20

[@markusreuter]

“cheese dome”, in this example it basically means “dome”. 😊😊😊

[@austinbridge]

@@markusreuter How does that relate to the microphone placement and the term "wurst"?

[@markusreuter]

@@austinbridge He used the word "dome" ("sphere" may be a better term here) to refer to the capturing of the drum kit as a whole. And then he says the "wurst" is outside of that "sphere". BTW, the term "wurst" comes from the German word "verwursten", which means "to mangle".

[@norbertrenner9364]

I allways use my old Grundig Microphone from the 70th with this short 5 food cable and a din Stecker....but man...this sounds incredible....i just lay it somewhere on the floor,no matter where,and get allways perfect recordings with just one mike.....but one fine day i will try out the wurst position,but i'm parttime vegetarian,so i have to be careful....you know...
