Wanna hear some INSANE METAL DRUMMING? (feat. Krimh)

[@KohleAudioKult]

Say hello to KRIMH and HARAKIRI FOR SKY everybody! How do you like the drum tone? 🤘

[@MartinvonBargen]

Such a good overview on getting the right selection of shells and cymbals. Always love the room sound you get there and there's a ton of energy in Krimh's playing that you captured with the choice of mics. I hope you paid him well in cold Almdudler? 🤘🤘

[@deadmaydie]

Great drummer!

[@MartinvonBargen]

@@deadmaydie He's so precise but has a great groove

[@CrushingAxes]

Hello Krimh! Really love the tones!!!

[@CrushingAxes]

Awesome stuff! Those tom mics are so cool! Those drums sound amazing!!!!

[@KRIMHDrummer]

Thank you for having me! I had a more than a „blast“ recording drums with you. 🤘🏻

[@KohleAudioKult]

Come back soon!

[@Producelikeapro]

So good! Loved this!

[@ChrrZ]

danke für das Video, liebe Grüsse aus dem Salzburger Land

[@michaelsavides8856]

I love the way he geeks out on his gear!!

[@babahias]

Wait... they made an actual person out of this plugin?! 🤯

[@KohleAudioKult]

Haha! I think so.

[@hakkin_d]

The future is wild!

[@mcpribs]

It’s cake.

[@svarogstudio]

crazy times to be alive 😆

[@fromthistexasbreath]

thats the power of AI

[@DEADLINETV]

Krimh, possibly one of the nicest "online" drummers and so freaking good and versatile! This HFTS is gonna be a killer album with him on drums! Are you gonna do the whole band or do a mixing video, Kristian? I love they chose you and your studio!

[@KohleAudioKult]

Thanks! I’m also gonna mix the album. Pretty sure we’ll have the multitracks and a detailed mix rundown inside the Kohle Audio Kult Academy.

[@Producelikeapro]

WOW! None more Metal! Such a great video!

[@dylanwhitesockswatson]

When I saw on Krimh's instagram that you were working together I knew that a video like that would be made but didn't expect to have such a detailed 27 minutes video. Extremely valuable information for me and other drummers recording themselves. Thank you both so much this is perfect ❤

[@KohleAudioKult]

I didn’t expect us to do 27 minutes either 😱. Especially not during a real recording session. But having another KZbin pro in the house really speeds things up!😇

[@dylanwhitesockswatson]

Hahahha I bet it does he's one of the best out there and so are you. Thanks again to both of you ❤️

[@dylanwhitesockswatson]

May I ask what clamps you used for the audix mics on toms ? The ones I have for the audix aren't ideal I'm curious what you are using @@KohleAudioKult

[@Azucc5]

I feel like he was very underrated years ago. I'm glad he's in the spot light now. Tight AF.

[@hazardeur]

every band i have seen him with he was flawless and, basically made the show for me. wasn't a huge fan of decapitated but when he played with them it was the bomb. saw them later with another drummer and it was kind of "meh" saw him with septic, which i don't really like and it was a great show that i would watch again.

[@freddyleal1756]

Hell yeah, The drums sound y’all achieved sounds so good, also the best drum pedals in the world!! Heck of a drummer his dedication to the instrument is the real deal!! Been a fan for sometime now.

[@d36williams]

early slipknot loves that woooo on the snare, classic funk element

[@Cadeyrn666]

New Harakiri for The Sky Album ❤

[@gabrielsalles4009]

Yeah, super cool. Thanks

[@villimagg]

Thanks for the info! Now it's just copy/paste for my homestudio

[@kipunji456]

Awesome video, guys. Glad to see that heavy 20-inch cymbal in use, it's THE signature Krimh sound 🤘

[@KohleAudioKult]

I'm usually not the biggest fan of 20" crashes but it really worked here!

[@SHARt_murmur]

Loved everything about this, thanks and good stuff!

[@DavePowell666]

Definitely the sort of drummer you want in your studio! 😎🤘 May his ride cymbal live forever!

[@waveemann8857]

Love that he keeps the Mb8 in every setup config he does. I love my 20" heavy crash from that line and would really like to grab more when money permits.

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

I always love watching this channel and hearing German names of gear like "Beyerdynamic" pronounced correctly

[@KohleAudioKult]

Thanks! I don’t think I got “Byzance” right this time. That might have been a little too German 😇. But I know what you mean. I really hate it when Germans say German words with an American accent. Like “Böööörlin“

[@mcpribs]

Wow! What sounds?!?! Phenomenal job, you two! And thanks for sharing. Very inspiring…on both sides of the glass.

[@letsch666]

Ich freu mich schon aufs Endergebnis 💪💪

[@scottykomer9992]

SO helpful. I have that tempesta snare, and it was cool hearing the tunings back to back. Also nice to have a set number to aim for with the Tune Bot

[@Bcwilderness]

superb room sound sir

[@dieterbohlen1572]

Can't wait for Krimh and Harakiri!!!

[@TheMack]

Great video! My first introduction was the song "Guiltless" with the band Lokust. Love his playing, so good!

[@belligerentamateur]

well DAMNIT. i knew i wanted a Tempesta snare, but now i NEED one. Another great video Kohle! Thanks for the info and entertainment.

[@KohleAudioKult]

Of course you need one buddy! I recently made the mistake of renting 14x8 free floating that I can't let go! Life's hard ;)

[@Nefville]

I recognize that studio from Romain Goulon when he was with Benighted. And Kevin Paradis. Very cool.

[@georgyj111111]

Love that alloy crash!

[@vhmendonca]

I'm a fan... A phenomenal drummer, I really like his playing. Also love your approach when it comes to recording/mixing drums. In my opinion, you achieve one of the best drum sounds for extreme metal out there.

[@visionswords5477]

I just started the video but I just want to say that I'm excited to watch this !!!!

[@KohleAudioKult]

Enjoy!

[@timriley2131]

Great video man, always good!! love that 'smash' mic technique you did with the warm audio pre!

Top 10 metal drummers. And the Bogren plugin is AMAZING

[@beaubarnett9393]

Y’all are the best!

[@Madmaxdrums]

Thank you for this invaluable insightful video! What a kick ass walkthrough! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@mixingmetal]

Great drum sound as usual, Krimh is a beast! Thanks for the video! 🤘

[@thepluggy1]

Absolute beast of a drummer

[@JeremyVarao]

Yes!!! I just got the Tempesta snare! Krimh is a beast.

[@KohleAudioKult]

Awesome snare! We recently also used it during the session with Nolly. More to come!

[@Alterwill]

awesome!

[@PooNinja]

Very cool kit

[@MetalBastards666]

always great to watch your videos!!!

[@sturla75]

Great drum sounds and loved the run-through of the process. I am too really digging the Austrian Audio OH mics (I have the cardiod OC18 version though). I also run a ribbon room mic set in blumlein configuration, but man, I will try putting them behind some gobos. Sounds great!!

[@KohleAudioKult]

Always happy to inspire you! The full version of the rundown and the multitracks can be found in the academy by the way.

[@kramdellakram7247]

My guy, I love you. Cheers from Murica

[@klauth_Yksyn]

THIS... was cool ! 👍

[@ruidanin_rocker]

..."if you compare it to the..." Meinl! Meinl Byzance! 😁✌️ Great video! 🤘

[@gabrielthibaud3361]

I prefer the byzance. Feel more thin sound that give bigger drum sound.

[@JenariJosh]

Ich komm ja immer noch nicht drauf klar das Krimh bei euch war 😲😲, absolutes Vorbild für mich. Und die Pure Alloy sind wirklich sehr geil. Der beste Vergleich den ich bisher hatte, vor allem unterm Micro.

[@KohleAudioKult]

Du durftest doch schon Ken Bedene Drums aufbauen! Dachte, das war das Highlight ;)

[@djschmolli]

Krimh is a fcking legend! 🤘

[@billyhughes9776]

Awesome stuff Kohle - That Tama snare -- so fat. I love how you told us not to focus on his playing in the "ruff" mix -- lol -- what a beast.

[@KohleAudioKult]

Haha! It was really just random shizzle and it wasn't planned to be shown in public.

[@kagunmarx5914]

Tracking drums can be a fun and exciting pain in the ass experience.

[@KohleAudioKult]

indeed!

[@lilian896]

Insane and fantastic drumming!★

[@gastonjabaly]

After years of testing and trying the whole remo snare head collection i switched to evans genera and hd

[@Algefi]

Man, that mic under the ceiling is absolutely insane. 🎉

[@KohleAudioKult]

Thanks man! 🤘 Academy members can download the multitracks by the way.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

That pure allow 20 is nice and full, but the brilliant in that position wasn't bad either; that one just sounded thinner.... I'll say I like the Benante snare, because I like my snares metal, cranked, and with a little bit of that "hooo" ring 😂 Nice mic-ing and recording.

[@ichbrauchmehrkaffee5785]

What a FUCKING beast! \m/

[@johnnyresistance]

killer sounds, killer drummer

[@iantouzel638]

JT snare is a killer one. Great video man.

[@blacksaona]

You should make a drum library with these sounds. This Actually sounds better than the Bogren

[@coryyoung1876]

Yeah, the Bogren library is horrible

[@nickolasgough8529]

Hell yeah! Krimh! What a Powerhouse of a drummer! 💀🤘 As far as choosing between the Byzance or the Alloy cymbals, I think context is key. Which set of crash cymbals best fit the mix?

[@Jazzguitar00]

People track drums first a lot of the time, so that doesn't really work.

[@lylaznboi01]

Now I'm thinking to get a thinner cymbal for that explosiveness since my left crash cymbal has a crack in it. I generally like dark cymbals, especially in recordings, because it just sounds fuller sounding like that Pure Alloy.

[@KohleAudioKult]

That Pure Alloy series was new to me. Really musical sounding!

[@sega.milkis]

Woohoo, Krimh! I noticed that he kinda stopped using kick triggers a long time ago. Pure acoustic power. Also, Kristian, you have very little hi hat in your OH mics, what's the secret?

[@KohleAudioKult]

The right position of course. There are a bunch of things you need to get right when positioning your overhead mics. The hihat is not the main focus, but I usually try to achieve all the other more important goals while staying away from the hihat as good as possible. We got a lot of drum recording and mixing courses inside my academy. Could be interesting for you. Like this one: www.kohleaudiokult.com/courses/Recording-Drums-Foundations

[@83partizan]

Thank You Kristian thank You Kerim, Just wanted to ask what about preamps? which ones do You use for different microphones, do you use them to adjust the sound, create a character?

[@ravensongstudios]

When I first saw him posting clips and I noticed the room, I thought to myself "This is going to be one of the few drummers Kristian is going to not fight using an actual kick drum".

[@KohleAudioKult]

Haha! Right. But it also depends on the music. We were not recording any crazy 300bpm shit

[@givemeajackson]

fuck that sound is spot on!

[@KohleAudioKult]

The record is coming soon

[@braxal6983]

I love it. He is like a machine. Are you using Motu interfaces?

Nope. Either SSL or Audient

You could've used this session as an expansion pack for Krimh Drums 🤔

[@MM-ju9ue]

Very interesting video, thank you! Great snare sound - does Krimh play no rimshots at all? I couldn't see it on my phone...

[@KohleAudioKult]

He plays rimshots all the time. He will answer that in full detail in another upcoming interview video with him. So stay tuned!

[@MM-ju9ue]

Great, thanks!

I’m „just“ recording the drums and mixing the album. But there might be a mixing tutorial inside my academy!

[@Drumzylvania]

As a drummer, this was very interesting! 👍

[@KohleAudioKult]

Good to hear that!

[@franklymm]

Hey Kohle ! Great Video ! Do you know what settings you guys had on the V-Kick ? Cheers from Vienna !

[@KohleAudioKult]

Yes, both settings are on „modern“

[@asbjrnfossmo1589]

Niiice room mic tips. Quick question: Could the distortion part be done in post processing, allowing for a bit of trial and error? My gut says yes, but I'm maybe two steps above a total noob.

[@KohleAudioKult]

Yes, it can be done later probably. I just like making decisions on the fly. Way too many decisions left during the mixing anyway

[@wollace3125]

Awesome video - very helpful with setup tips! Question Kohle: i use the sE8’s for overheads/spot mics too, but found recent recordings with them a bit thin and “watery” for crash sounds. I use the high pass filter at its highest setting (160hz I believe) and am wondering if I scooping too much information out while tracking - do you use the HpF options on the sE8’s?

[@franklymm]

I also use the sE8 for quite a while now. I found cutting 160Hz a bit to much für Overheads. Especially the snare suffers to much, imo ... Next to this, you can always put a lowcut later in the DAW.

[@KohleAudioKult]

I’m not using them as overhead mics cause I prefer darker mics. But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with them as overheads. Compared to a lot of other SDC mics they actually sound rather flat. It always depends on the cymbals as well. The brighter the cymbals, the darker the mics.

[@wollace3125]

@@franklymmAwesome, thank you for that, I need to try using the gentler settings!

[@wollace3125]

@@KohleAudioKult Ok thanks that makes sense, I may need to take a look at my cymbals as well!

[@timsullivan2141]

I prefer the brilliant cymbals. Both sound great though

[@peterbowman5750]

I know im a little late butvim wondering if youve ever recorded the Gretsch USA bell brass snare....im torn between getting that or the Tempesta snare

[@KohleAudioKult]

Nope. But the Tempesta is a pretty safe bet.

[@JDESTR0Y]

First set of cymbals 100%

[@JDESTR0Y]

Little crisper little brighter and amazing

[@JDESTR0Y]

Awesome you combined them

[@MoreMeRecording]

What about the 414? Hyper-card?

[@KohleAudioKult]

Which one?

[@KreativeDevices]

🔥

[@Lordovhate]

Is krimh not with septicflesh anymore? You introduced him as if he wasnt.

[@joehernandez2021]

Kohle during and after all the sound checking with the snare how many drum heads did you go through?

[@KohleAudioKult]

You mean how often we switched during the session? I hardly ever do that

[@jamesnation9192]

How are you dealing with phase issues when using so many overhead and room mics?

[@KohleAudioKult]

Phase is usually a low end problem. Most coal spot mics are low cut anyway and they’re not loud. So no problem!

[@WarrenBey]

Yeah Byzance sound like shopping carts being thrown down stairs. Most Meinl sounds like ass to me. All my favorite drummers play Sabian.

[@PearHellforge]

[@UGBM]

Eve eating apple in the corner?

[@maxpolansky3417]

All of these plugins sound beautiful on pre-made patterns that have articulation, volume. But just add a midi track and it all sounds monotonous and not at all like on the patterns. There are still no adjustments for humanize and you have to remake each beat by hand or use Drumagog and add small irregularities. I personally didn't like the shell or the drums themselves. Dude just wants to take a bite out of the drum market.

[@moisesvillasenor3302]
