What a great video. Came here because of the camera and found an amazing drummer. Nice work.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@hardenfastvideos6639]

Excellent! Your dynamic with purpose to each stroke. You deserve more recognition. Your original compositions are your best!

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thanks so much🙏

[@AidanMmusic96]

Wow. Beautiful playing, and you might have just sold me on Paiste cymbals!

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

thanks so much! yes Paiste Cymbals are amazing. Please check them out

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Great performance, man! It was a pleasure watching this👍

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thank You😊

[@BobbyJetty1502]

Those toms sound incredible, especially the 10in it has sustain for days. sweet chops too🥁

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

thank you very much! Yes the PHX is very special. If you get a chance, please check them out yourself.

[@BobbyJetty1502]

@@MatthiasKnorrMusic I have at a Jimmy Chamberlin clinic two years back. I was able to not only talk to Jimmy about my favorite album Gish, but he graciously let me play his kit. Which I'm sure you know is a Phoenix PHX. He has an incredibly unique set up. Which made for playing his kit even that more amazing. Best to you in your future music career, and if you currently are in a band or done studio work I'd like to hear it. 🥁

[@esotericdrumstudio2690]

Killer sound! I've had a heck of a time with cameras and lighting - not my area of expertise, that's for sure. Ended up putting my cheap DSLR on a music stand with a foam cube beneath it to keep the kick drum from shaking it. Tried a GoPro 8 but the fisheye just doesn't work well in the studio.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

thank you, yes that is one important, if not the most important factor when shooting videos - the lighting. I learned it through experimenting and my friend recommended to try some LED lights. Much better results now. I will not shoot without them anymore.

[@eriksmithdrummer]

Great job buddy!

Thanks buddy 👍

Sweet solo!!!!

thank you!

[@antwanfilikian128]

First . Your Drums Sound AMAZING !!! i WAS WONDERING IF THE RECORDED SOUND WAS EDITED IN ANY WAY ? OR IT WAS JUST STRAIGHT FROM THE CAMERA . i Thank You In Advance :).

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

thanks very much! The drums were recorded with the mics on the kit and mixed afterwards. In the other Q2n Video I did, you will hear the built in mics from the Zoom device.

[@janetremsing6988]

👍 Niceness!! Great sounding kit, too! 🙂

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Janet Remsing thank you 🙏🏻🙂

[@janetremsing6988]

Matthias Knorr 👍 Of course! I have an 80s era Yamaha Maple Recording Series & I love them! 🙂

[@TomCawoski]

Nice video and really nice sound on the drums. I have a couple questions though. What lighting are you using? Is the Zoom camera now your go to camera? Are your toms totally open (no muffling)? Are you tuning for a specific note? Also, how are you tuning your toms (top head vs bottom head - they sound great)? Snare sounds great too - how is it tuned? Thanks!!! Keep up the great work!

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

the lights are two "Yongnuo Yn360" led lights that are setup behind me on each side of the kit, the front light is a "Bresser CB-68A Bi-Color Flexible LED" and my room light above the kit. That is one very weak thing about the Zoom Cameras - you need lots(!!!) of light to get noise free footage. In low light this camera is not good. That is why I will replace it someday with a better camera. For Toms I use a little buit of muffling by putting some Skygel Damper Pads on them and the floortoms have a bit of cotton wool inside to reduce the gumball effect. I tune my kit by ear and mostly the interval between the Toms is a perfect 4th. The top & bottom heads are tuned a 4th apart sa well (reso is higher than the top head). And of course I try to get an equal result between each lug so the head I am tuning is in tune with itself. Snare: resohead tabletop tight, top head in relation to the 10" tom (mostly a 4th apart as well). In some studio sessions I do I even tune to the key of the song sometimes. I hope this helps a bit. Maybe I do a short Video about it someday ;-) - Cheers, Matthias

[@TomCawoski]

@@MatthiasKnorrMusic Thanks so much for the reply. I'm not quite ready to post videos so camera and lighting will have to wait for some money before I can do that but it helps to know what people are using. I've heard Dave Weckl say for toms he goes for a minor third between top head and bottom head with the bottom one being tighter. I guess it's all about managing those overtones. Snare sounds great too.... Time for me to do some more experimenting. Thanks again for your response.

[@TonyGellaMusic]

Auto mode good.. What audio settings do you using? Manual i think? You Weckl fan?

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thanks, yes I use the dial to set the audio level (around 4-5). And yes, Dave influenced my playing quite a bit.

[@JoelAzia]

Awesome!!! Killer sounds as usual. Impressed by your playing. Just a question: How did you the scenes mode while playing?

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thank You! I actually played every part by itself and edited the scenes together in Cubase & Hitfilm. But there was nothing written down. All improvised on the fly. :-)

[@DUALMOTION]

Auto mode IMO suits the best!

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

DASTAN25-POWER thanks for checking out the video 👍🏻

[@hleyes]

Matthias - great playing, and a great demo on the camera! I use the same camera, and it seems that whatever the settings, I get a whole lot of grain in both the live and recorded image, even after denoising it in Handbrake. Do you have any advice on how to eliminate grain? Thanks!

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

@HLeyes thanks for watching. For best results the camera needs quite a bit of light. In the studio I use two Yongnuo YN360 RGB-LED lights for backlighting the drums a BRESSER CB-68A (in front of the kit) and the room light as an overhead light. So when there isn’t enough lights on stage the Zoom is not the greatest cam unfortunately.

[@SheldonKreger]

Can't get over the sound of the Yamaha kit! What do you use for reverb?

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thanks Sheldon, I love the Yamaha sound. Lots of unique character. The Reverb I use in this Video is the "RVerb" from Waves.

[@edmancuso]

Auto mode seems to be the one to go with. Nice skills too!

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

thank you, yes it really depends on the room/location you're filming in. The "Night" & "Outdoor" settings work quite good in my studio as well. Thanks for checking it out.

[@AnthonyMorales71]

I think Outdoor and night look best.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

those are two my favorite settings as well. Thanks for watching!

[@jnagime]

@@MatthiasKnorrMusic is possible to upload a video direct to a smartphone with this camera?

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

@@jnagime I don’t think this is possible. You can record to a micro Sd card or use it as a webcam and record the stream with OBS for example. I use it that way to teach online.

[@jnagime]

@@MatthiasKnorrMusic thank you.

[@Stephan-l6d]

Wie konntest Du mit dieser Kamera das Bildrauschen so gut reduzieren oder entfernen?

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Die Zoom braucht ausreichende Beleuchtung. In diesem Fall 2 LED Lampen hinter dem Drumset (rechts und links eine), eine LED Matte von vorne und die Zimmerbeleuchtung von oben. Dann mit guter Videoschnitt-Software (Davinci Resolve) noch etwas nachbearbeiten, falls es noch nötig ist. Aber hier ist nichts weiter nachbearbeitet worden. Das geht auch mit der Beleuchtung.

[@Stephan-l6d]

@@MatthiasKnorrMusic Super, vielen Dank für Deine Antwort. Du spielst übrigens sensationell Schlagzeug und Dein Drumset klingt unglaublich gut.👍👍👌 Ich geniesse es sehr Deine Videos anzuschauen.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

@@Stephan-l6d vielen Dank!

[@Stephan-l6d]

⁠@@MatthiasKnorrMusic Welche Kameras verwendest Du für Deine anderen Videos sonst noch, neben der Zoom Q2n4K?

[@creamforever2677]

Llamar 4K a esta birria es un insulto al 4K

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

that's right. It's NOT an amazing quality for 4k resolution. But this thing only costs 230€. For quick recordings it's ok but of course it's not suited for a high quality film/video production.

[@phenixreturns]

bad camera horrible video sometimes so disappointed with this camera add a big light but no miracles

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

right, unfortunately it's not a professional camera. I mainly see it as a Audio-Device with a built in webcam. And a lot of light is needed to get a good result. Plus I don't use the "Auto" Scene anymore because sometimes the camera changes to a bad exposure and ruins the footage.

[@larrytate1657]

@@MatthiasKnorrMusic sound is amazing.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

@@larrytate1657 the sound was recorded with the Shure mics going through the mixing board and then mixed in Cubase. But even the dry sound from the Q2n4k is nice for quick recordings as well.
