What are some crazy drum recording techniques do you like? Moses Schneider has worked with huge international acts such as Pixies and Nick Cave, big-selling German bands Tocotronic and Kreator, and has made a name for himself as an author. He is also known for creating the famous 'Wurst Mic" technique along with two newer techniques; the 'Droom' and the 'Snareo'. Multitracks of his recording are also available to practice with and add these new techniques to your recording arsenal: producelikeapro.com/blog/drum-recording-with-moses-schneider/

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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'.

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.

Can't wait my next drum rec session to try your wunderbar creative techniques 🙂 Danke sehr !!!

Hi Sara thank you very much! I'm also on the same path to expand consciousness and help others do the same. Do you have any advice for me?

Has anyone tried the SnareO with two dynamic omnis, instead of condensers?? And if so, did it work well??

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.

what is the orangerie that he mentioned is it a reverb?

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! 🙂
