Kick drum patching and beyond with Shakmat Battering Ram
Музыка
Shakmat’s Battering Ram is a great-sounding kick drum module that I’ve been using for a few weeks now. It’s already made an appearance as a supporting player in my last couple of videos, but I wanted to do a demo where it’s front and centre, because it has some pretty cool tricks up its sleeve.

Excellent demo! Thank you
Ahhh! I've been wanted to get this since it was announced, now you really got me jonesin for it! I have to figure out a whole bunch of changes in my percussion session I was trying to ignore, and you're not helping!
Wow, nice tones you're crafting here. Thank you for this demo ❤
god when the chord comes in around 18:20
Yeah! Very well featured - slots in so well into your case. Thank you 👌
Love those nest tamers - remarkably they can even handle quite thick cables like a pair of 1/4 inch balanced outs.
I love this module and haven’t even played it. I appreciate it’s range and abilities in a relatively small form factor with great UI! Looking forward to picking one up. Thanks for the great patches and thoughts as always! Seems to really excel at offering the full range of a tidy little box without getting too far out of a drum like sound. Is there anything you wished it did that it can’t at the moment?

Thanks! Honestly I can’t think of anything it’s missing for me. It’s really quick to dial in a kick that sits well in a patch, sounds great, doesn’t take up too much space and generally does its job really well…

Nice demo. I have a question. The patch cable clamps, very interesting. How do you call it and where can i buy it.

Good point! I don’t think I mentioned it actually - it’s digital

I’m confused because in the interview of the creator of the kick it seems like he said it was analog with digital controls. Not 100% sure tho… Anyway, it sounds huge! Great video, thank you !!

It’s a collaboration with Marc Nostromo who’s a software developer at Ableton.
Hmm, pretty underwhelmed by this module. And you usually make everything sound so good.

Fair enough! Kick drums are very subjective things I guess...
That was great! Thanks so much but please stop costing me money!

Haha - sorry about that! 😀
Honestly the module sounds kinda anaemic

Guess it depends a bit what you want out of a kick drum - I tend to use more clean 808-style kicks in my music so didn't focus so much on its more aggressive side. Maybe check out Blush Response's video to hear more of its gnarly side...
