How do you download the Vimeo videos? I can't figure this out!

2025-05-17 17:42:45 +0000 UTCSuper interesting. Would love to learn how to make iconic D&B drum sounds, like the huge rimshot, the tight noise snare, when and why to use FM, and what snares you can’t make without organic samples. Noisia have such incredible and diverse snares. Show us the way!

2024-04-07 04:24:34 +0000 UTCThanks for uploading on VIMEO, this helps me to download it in full HD without worrying, please KEEP it up like this. Can't wait to play this drum one how you approach sidechain on hats & rides, thanks again!

2022-12-03 16:11:08 +0000 UTCRewatching this for the 100th time. This time it inspired me to attempt an inspection of the kick transients in "Long Gone". Wish I had the stems just for learning purposes because those kicks are just so impactful. Upon inspection it looks like the transients are wavefolded but it seems to be a fool's errand because there is so many other things going on. Still fun though. Thanks again like always, back to the kick mines.

2020-10-28 19:37:12 +0000 UTCWhat a great tutorial. Really cool insight on how to use Kick2 as an EQ for kick transients. I would love to see a tutorial with your 2020 views on making acoustic drum breaks from drum samplers like addictive 2. Your drum breaks (and teebee's) are the best and that knowledge would be amazing.

2020-10-21 07:53:00 +0000 UTCGreat tutorial ! Thank you! :)
2020-10-16 14:24:57 +0000 UTCLiked that introduction. Now I'd like to see a video in which a transient of kick2 will be combined with another tail.

Martin Åberg
2020-09-30 09:28:35 +0000 UTCThanks for the video, very informative stuff. Do you guys use Superior Drummer or AD for acoustic layers?

2020-09-27 14:39:01 +0000 UTCThe Gate in Kick2 is to control playback length with MIDI - short notes only plays the click etc. :) We really enjoy your chiseled jawbones, but next time maybe move the plugin interface :>
2020-09-26 11:00:01 +0000 UTCThank you for this video, I would like to go even further with this and know the implementation with sidechain and how to approach it if with midi, other synths or the sidechain source

2020-09-23 06:24:11 +0000 UTCfound the click vs tail tonality very interesting. i think i never listened to drums that way. i tried to recreate the Diplodocus rmx snare a while ago and also noticed the very inharmonic overtones and was surprised it worked that well. Also ... i think basic tutorials sometimes have the best insights, because the difference of perspective on ground level operations can sometimes make a huge impact. So thanks for covering the basis.
Tom Finster
2020-09-22 11:00:11 +0000 UTCWhat it means is that you can theoretically get away with a 'real' sounding harmonic at any multiple of 7Hz, which gives you way more freedom than having to go by multiples of 200 or similar.
VISION
2020-09-22 09:20:15 +0000 UTCThe harmonics being a common denominator of the two skins is a super helpful insight! Thanks!
2020-09-21 20:05:03 +0000 UTCAs Einstein said, "If I knew what i was doing it wouldn't be research."

2020-09-21 00:56:41 +0000 UTCI was just waiting for this, awesome!
2020-09-19 17:02:16 +0000 UTCkicks, snares, and half a cookie. What more could one ask for in a tutorial.
Bob Gibson
2020-09-19 14:54:49 +0000 UTCWe've been blessed! If youre ever feeling inspired to talk more on the subject im sure you could record a few more videos in an afternoon or two and sell it to patreons as a one time additional purchase. Some topics could be acoustic drum design, tails / reverb & physical space, and working with drums in the mix (ie sidechaining approach for different areas in the spectrum, EQing, and drum bus processing)
2020-09-19 06:06:53 +0000 UTCThanks Nik amazing tut. But the aprt with the snare drum and the 2 different sides. You said if the skins have a 7hz difference then the fundemental becomes 7Hz. How woul you mix that? Using overtone of 7hz? So like 70hz or 140hz/280hz?
2020-09-18 19:54:58 +0000 UTCAlso, I love Bitwig, I can see y'all really loving the modulation system.
