here how the „organic
electro beats“ album was recorded. oli’s
drumset is a mixture of acoustic cymbals, pads that trigger electronic drum
sounds and different effects. -the
„main“ section a
stereo pad (snare/rim), a bass drum pad and three mono tom pads trigger the
ddrum4-brain’s digital samples. i
use 20 different sound sets of the ddrum, that i change with my left hand
during playing. -the
„analog“ section another
bass drum trigger pedal (played with the left foot) and two tom pads trigger
either a vermona drm1 or an old tama techstar sound module. i
cannot store my personal sound sets on those analog drum modules, but they have
a lot of knobs to alter the sound on the fly...and of course they have a very
special sound. -the
„acoustic“ section i
use a regular hihat (14“ meinl bycanze), a closed hihat (10“meinl
custom shop) and a trashy crash cymbal (16“meinl safari generation x) and
very often i play the grooves with a jingle stick in the right hand. all
acoustic sounds are miked with one condenser microphone. -the
„effects“ section another
tool to change or colour the sound are my different stomp boxes. for
the analog drums i have a fuzz pedal to add some dirt. the
ddrum has several output groups: so, i put some analog echo (boss dm-100) on
the electronic cymbal sounds, the bass drum and snare stay dry, and the rim
channel and „toms“ get a combination of phaser (small stone),
vocoder and delay (line6 dl-4). again
i use my left hand to turn the knobs... all
in all i simultaneously recorded six channels (using an emagic emi 6/2, logic
audio and a mac g4 powerbook). when playing a live show i
mix those six channels with a behringer rx1602, and finally send the stereo sum
through a vestax eq-killer to the front of house/or dj mixer. many
