Q Drum Co. - Ilan Rubin - Improv

Here is Ilan Rubin improvising on a Mahogany Q Drum Co. Kit from an out take of from the original "The Shop" short.

[@petejerzee]

Very underrated drummer! You rock Ilan

[@Qdrumco]

6 Mics Total... Kick - AKG D112 (In) > Chandler TG2 Snare - SM57 (Top) > Chandler TG2 Overhead - AKG 414's (Spaced) > Manley Tube Pre > Smart C2 Room - Peluso P12's (Blumlein) > Chandler TG2 > Distressors

[@MrPercussionPete]

Ilan sounds like Ian Paice on Made In Japan. Fantastic, he's got this unique combination of powerful rock and swinging jazz. Bonham played like that too. What a fine drummer this is.

[@PedroPetracco]

Amen

[@camdensubdivision3020]

I'm sorry Jason Bonham, but THIS is the guy Jimmy, Robert, & JPJ should've got for the reunion tours..

[@roromoho]

@Stork Legs Just relax. Everything will be fine.

[@phrosda]

He's only got in because of the name. Yeah, this guy's awesome

[@patrickellerin111]

@@phrosda Well yeah he’s part of the Led Zeppelin family so it only makes sense wether you like it or not. 🥴.

[@PedroPetracco]

Calm down but yes.

[@lucasjohnston8159]

Fair call!

[@caribousale]

Hits like a modern Bonham!

[@jamisbillson4872]

Jean-François Tremblay I have it on good authority that Bonham hits like an old Rubin.

[@bonhamcymbal]

If only he lead with his left hand like bonham...

[@limzog9]

@@jamisbillson4872.. I dona know Bonham would of stopped slowed down then sped up even faster..

[@JohnAyala18]

With a sprinkle of Copeland 😀

[@PedroPetracco]

[@CrossJamie]

Best sounding kit ever.No mic's just a room mic in a dead padded room even and they still sound booming. It blows my mind that these are mahogany.

[@Markisflippinsweet]

+James Cross no, this is a pretty big room. It's Tom DeLonge's studio. There's room and overheads. Pretty sure there's a kick mic, too.

[@CrossJamie]

+Mark Bolton Obviously there's a room mic or 2 but no close mics and in a padded room. That's pretty fucking rad sounding. I wish they panned back so we could see if there's a kick mic but even still that kit sounds really good. I've heard plenty of kits with plenty of mics in beautiful rooms that don't sound this good.

[@Qdrumco]

Thanks for the compliments. The mix qualtiy is a testamenet to Aaron Rubin. There are a few room mics and a bass drum mic

[@CrossJamie]

Nicely done guys.I Absolutely love the sound of that kit.To me that's how drums should sound.If Bonzo was still alive I'm pretty sure he'd own a Q kit or two.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

that sound quality is off the hook. props to the audio engineer

[@Qdrumco]

Huge thank you to Aaron Rubin for that. Talent runs in their family

[@joshualukegardner6682]

i agree this is insane.

[@mikekelly9851]

The audio engineer captures what the drummer did to tune the drums to sound optimum.

[@Geaux7]

"I like to play"

[@moonkef]

hahahahahaha v good! :)

[@beatlelennon9168]

Ilan knows how treat the drums. Very very good drumming. Paice and bonham styles.

[@TheWisepecker]

I can hear bonham in there, nice!

[@giacomodallavalle1668]

OMG!!! bass drum 1:44

[@PetterHegevall_]

Insane... Ilan is for sure one of the best drummers as of today. Sooo much feel, groove, power and musicality

[@arrangraham3261]

By the end of the clip the bass drum move 6" there is groove, there is style, there is grace, He is ace!

[@EILIVSAGRUSTEN]

This is ridiculous. Ilan is a monster!

[@demisemedia]

Wow.. this guy can PLAY!

[@joshualukegardner6682]

i agree, this dude's playing is ridiculous.

[@gabrielgomer]

Seriously. I'm so amazed with how good this guy is. The way he plays the kit is like magic

[@sodorth]

perfect drum sound :o

[@paule.7117]

Beast! One of the best rock drummers out there.

[@AlexSlavenDrums]

This is a really interesting use of the blackdots, and it works really well. I always see the classic emperor on top, ambassador on bottom, both coated, on kits like this, but the clears really work well, with the focus of the black dots. Excellent playing too!

[@chinavatkornprakoppoul2942]

Incredible sound...!!! great drum and great drummer...!!!

[@hungryarch7319]

I cannot smash the thumbs up button hard enough! I love this clip.

[@seththemetalhead3079]

Great chops, great sound quality and beautiful kit

[@leahmariestewart]

i love this so much

[@drumdude46]

Bonham, Grohl, Derosier, Carmassi, .....Just an amalgam, of all those great, Organic, 'pure muscle' rock drummers... This guy is simply superb.

[@genckemalist9712]

WTF Bass drum sound !!!!! Holy !!!

[@Tateisadrummachine]

Those mahogany drums sound incredible! I thought that type of wood was supposed to be chocked and quiet, not huge, loud, and mighty!

[@Qdrumco]

Thank you! Its all in the edge, choice of heads and tuning!

[@DrummerGAS]

And playing! :D

[@quimmartinezcabrera]

which tuning have these drums?

[@tigerkiller501]

Your an amazing drummer and Bonham would be proud.

[@michaelbrown3128]

Sounds like huge Bohnam was a huge influence! Well Done!!!!!

[@tonyedwards7200]

That is off the hook fucking great Ilan !!!

[@DavidNesterDrums]

Love the way these drums sound! And of course Ilan rips lol.

[@dobsonfynley4935]

This guy is a powerhouse, absolutely phenomenal, strangely reminds me of Tony Williams playing

[@Ash_Hudson]

More Bonham

[@dobsonfynley4935]

+Ash Hudson yeh obviously man, but still just some of the phrasing reminds me of some stuff that Tony would play !

[@BrandonChaunceyOfficial]

+Ash Hudson Bonham and Aaron Gillespie

[@WisperMetal]

+Brandon Noneya Aaron Gillespie cant even be this guys 10 year old padawan

[@BrandonChaunceyOfficial]

aaron might not be the technically best drummer but he's definitely got feeling in his playing.

[@MrChrisbair]

My goodness, those drums sound perfect!

[@WeAreBeggarsAll83]

Great drummer and great sounding kit!

[@Christopher-md7tf]

Ilan kicks ass!

[@itchyvinyl]

So trippy, he leads with his left hand.

[@lukeestep5417]

He usually plays open handed as well.

[@deadheadok14]

itchyvinyl the way bonham did

[@chuckc7375]

Wow incredible chops

[@NothingHereButMe]

This is just the room sound? Unreal!

[@Qdrumco]

There is a bass drum mic as well as room mics

[@NothingHereButMe]

Still, an incredible sounding kit

[@andrewcruz7595]

*Animal really killing it on the drums*

[@NoOne0439]

That... SNARE!!! luv it luv it luv it!!!!

[@kaikaiser2937]

I love this video, think I've seen ist more han hundret times until now. Ilan is a drumming monster. I think these Q drums are realy nice an build with passion. But let's be honest, he could lay that jam down on an old pear export after he tuned it and it still would sound mind-blowing. Now I ike to practice, man he is perfectly nailing it, always in every video

[@muuriciodegollada3870]

Awesome sound .great player

[@VeryScaryBiscuits]

drums: 14,16,18,26. The snare is either 6.5x14 or 8x14, and is Q like the rest of the set. He also uses a ludy black beauty with NIN. cymbals: 24 K light ride, 15 K light hats. for crashs its either two 21 K crash rides, or some variation of A or Z 20 crash along with the crash ride. I've become something of a Rubin geek recently :3

[@Killenmachine05]

for fuck sakes, please just go on the road with zeppelin already

[@jamesbanasky3672]

He's wasting his talent with NIN instead, lol

[@HMohr]

What a beast!

[@FSM46AND2]

Great sounding kit. Black Dots contribute a lot here.Sound REAL. Smooth drummer too.

[@kimandrebjorkesett]

Perfect combo of player and kit

[@robertdirocco1885]

IIan, Tichy, and Miley....i feel their playing unlike hearing other drummers that “feel” machine like.

[@owensjonathan1]

This kit is actually 24x14 13x9 16x16 18x16. For cymbals he plays 21'' sweet ride on the left, 24'' k light ride, and a 20'' k crash ride. for hats he plays k light 15''

[@phrosda]

Christ those drums sound good

GOTdamn! Killer drummer! Love that giant crash/ride ... what is it??

[@5ynnoj]

+Gordon Townsend It's either a 22" or 24" Zildjian K Light Ride.

[@MinGamingKanal]

+Gordon Townsend It is a Zildijan 24 K light ride. killer cymbal. sounds amazing.

[@oskarskorge8554]

22 k medium dark ride. but i thought 24 k light ride til i saw the hammering :)

[@Thegameshowcase]

It's most certainly a 22" K medium dark, although normaly he uses a 24" K Light, which I personally think is better.

[@maantol]

Those bonham triplets...

[@pawelmorrison]

maantol He didnt do any in this vid mate

[@bjornmichels1174]

I really want to know what mics were used/how they were set up. The sound is so open and natural and you can really feel what he's playing. These drums sound amazing.

When I see the kick drum I always think I’m about to see a Queen tribute band.

[@rustyjames4575]

An angels and airwaves song is that many notes divided by like 35

[@RingoZabel]

Look at him move that house-sized 26" kick at 1:45. Right foot of death.

[@prm1guel]

Amazing drumkit! That snare is awesome! Anybody knows if it's the original drumkit snare?

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]
