Will Karling plays with Yamaha SubKick SKRM 100

[gavinhammon]

That sums it up nicely!

[gotstahavesoul]

thanks great vid! love that tama!

[thekobsta]

is it an NS10 LF in the Yamaha Subkick??

[dimetilldeath]

love how the tama sounds way better

[Smallmo123]

Sounds good but your kicking technique lacks manliness. Don't be afraid to hit hard, its the best way to get a nice tone out of the drum.

[XDrumHxCX]

the 24 inch bass sounds so good man

[saturanalog]

WOW! This definitely saves you from boosting the lows on the EQ! I have to get me one of these.

[SickAmongThePure1]

I did sound for a band that used the DW 26in kick drum and when it was mic'ed, it always clipped. Does the subkick get rid of this without using compression?

[PoliticalDestruction]

Hey man i got a questions. What exactly does that subkick thing do? ive seen it on a few studio updates but i dont know what it does. Thanks.

[9995655]

thanks for the demonstration, it helped alot

[BANGERS68]

kik it

[Sirbersha1ot]

just wondering..has anyone plugged the subkick into a effects processor or somthing...to give it different sound (phaser, compressor, etc)??

[Rokkinpogoroshi8]

WOW

[MelmacRiders]

bzvz....

[crackoish]

wtf !!!

how many dw drums do you have o.O

[Jazzdrummer83]

not much different though. I prefer using Kick port sound naturally and way cheaper.

[TheKanz09]

I hear the difference but its not enough to make me want to go out and buy one.

[MadBassist2]

If anyone wants a great kick sound, my personal favorite combo is a Crown PCC-160 inside the kick on a pillow and a Shure Beta52 in the hole on the front of the kick. Roll off the lows on the crown and roll off the highs on the B52 and youre set.

[FlatlineLinx]

@MadBassist2 I agree - 2 mics on the kick rocks. The Subkick may be convenient for the engineer that evening, but when it's time for mixdown, it still has to be processed like everything else - nothing goes completely untouched for a recording. If it were more cost effective, I might consider it, but the the Beta52 is a good weapon of choice for recording.

[AntonyArmada]

These are great but anyone who actually buys the Yamaha one is an idiot. Just make one yourself for under £20!

[willkarling]

@AntonyArmada you 've right but I pay mine under 20£ ahahah

[iAmTheSquidThing]

@AntonyArmada I can't help thinking they'd be quite easy to home-brew. Have you made one yourself or do you know someone who has? I'd be interested to hear about it.

[surflouis1]

@AntonyArmada Make one from what exactly?

[itsadeepburn]

@AntonyArmada idiot here. haha. how do you make one for cheap? i think i'm just gonna sell mine.

[ultrastu]

@AntonyArmada Do you reckon you get the same results without the drum shell? Russ miller talks about how the shell adds depth and tone to the sound.

[Phrase]

Great video, thanks for posting. I can't believe some people cannot hear the difference the subkick makes to the sound! (you need to use decent speakers folks!) I thought the biggest improvement was with the little 18x14 bass drum, which sounded pathetic with only one mic but sounded great with both mics blended.

[FlatlineLinx]

@Phrase LOL Monitors do make a difference! Sounds great on a 2.1 JBL4300 system (2 JBL4326's and matching sub 4312). I can hear the effort!

[Buhzie15]

dw bass drums always sound like crap to me... boxy, thin and no character...

[spartacus198801]

@Buhzie15 not if you tune them correctly.

[Trmnatr]

@Buhzie15 Are you crazy..?

[MadBassist2]

@Buhzie15 If they sounded like crap, Neil Peart wouldnt use them.

[Buhzie15]

@MadBassist2 i didnt say neil peart said they sounded like crap. I said that they sound like crap to me.

[MadBassist2]

@Buhzie15 true. Almost any mic can sound the way you want with a little EQ

[srh1502]

hehe, I saw one of these in a shop some while ago, and I thought it was a fancy speaker :P

[theworldofrocknroll]

i actually prefer the sound if the kick on its own

[klyon3]

what a waste of money

[VicenteKidd]

Wtf is the difference..

[javi9446]

@VicenteKidd You're probably on a laptop with shitty speakers, if not, you should get your hearing checked bro.

[VicenteKidd]

@javi9446 Your right i am on a laptop:b,

and i do have bad hearing cuz of drumming ha.

[mickoin2]

escusez moi mais ... on peut obtenir le meme resultat avec un Eq sur le kick quand meme ! ? :s

[ZobiLaCheum]

Salut Will,

Une question de novice : Comment places-tu le micro pour isoler le subkick ainsi ?

How did you manage to solo'd the Subkick?

Merci pour les vidéos.

[willkarling]

@ZobiLaCheum ben comme sur les photos.

[Christophersvanek]

@ZobiLaCheum: He was able to solo the Subkick by placing a microphone incide the bass drum. By doing this he can control the mix and isolate each sound.

[Honeythebeebee]

@ZobiLaCheum la question est bizarerement poser...quesque tu appel isoler le subkick enfaite? le SK c'est un micro au meme titre que le 602, brancher sur 2 piste differentes, donc tu fait ce que tu veux au mix..on dirai que tu pense que le SK emet un son, je me trompe? (le probleme doit etre regler depuis 5 moi mais je suis curieux de savoir ce que tu entendais par "isoler le SK" ;)

[INCBasement]

I bet slipknot uses that shiit and with a muffled bass drum and the metal things for the double bass.

[Rimpianto]

@INCBasement - No, Triggers

[INCBasement]

@Rimpianto But wen i used a drum mic i can play sulfur perfectly cuz the loudness

[planbskater565]

it would be awsome if it had a longer punchy sustain like a real sub in a car

[WhenxChristxReturnsx]

Not something I'd pay $400 for but it sounds awesome :D

[GearsOfWar01000]

ive heared these things live, when MEGADETH's drummer Shawn Drover used em, they sound damn good but truth be told ive never gotten too familiar with these things.. in fact i caught myself wondering "what the hell is that thing!!!????" well aside the "quality" of the camera mic im gonna go ahead and save up to get me one of these

[inmutochanel]

the truth this video is not anything that helped me just shows you the sound if that is now more or less but as you connect the subkick? as subkick alone? subkick that you hit the drum instead of the function which is really? to connect the subkick?

greetings go through our videos

immutable put youtube bar

ls will appear we are a rock band!

chau

[OwMyQuach]

Haven't you seen that one Bob Gatzen video where he tells you not to let your mic cable rest on the head? Tsk tsk.

[LostInVerona]

These things sound amazing with good mixing, I can upload an example of how they sound in music if anyone wants to hear?

[McSamiec]

Guys - i made this myself using 12" woofer only- the reason some stupid sound engineers are using two mcs is because they think attack can be taken from the batttones to minus 3 er head and sub effect from the resonant one. In fact attack is just lower bass freq in shorter time- my advice is- take 12" woofer connect to xlr put it into your mixser mic input (DO NOT USE PHANTOM) NEVER EVERand reduce bass and ,middle and hi tones - i can give you some samples

[TheParalental]

it sounds better with the tama drums

[987654321adam]

how many dw kits do you have?

[willkarling]

@jordanjcm just change your PC monitor or buy a Fucking hight quality headphone budy :)

[JazzNaySean]

what exactly does that do?

[MartaDzika]

omg sound it's like from hell ;D amazing!

[crackshotnoodles]

doesnt amtter. The combination of the Senn kick mic and the yamaha subkick works nicely, theres click and punch, with a little more tweeking it would be fine

[girotube]

No need for the Senn kick mic if you ask me! pair the SM57 and the sub mic..

The senn mic was a waste of $ for this config.

I'm not attacking.. Just that so many times I see people using a kick mic with a sub mic.. and its just pointless.. the kick mic is rolled off and only the attack is used.

Do you have the B52 and the D6 to do a A/B with all those nice kick drums...???

cheers..

check my video of the SM57 as a kick mic.. no sub mic.

[94XJ]

I made an 8" and 10" out of old subwoofers mounted in shells, with a compressor you can get a long, sustained almost 808 sound.

[buddyace37931]

so im kinda lost here.. is the subwoofer playing back what the kick drum is playing? i can clearly hear the difference, but i would like to know what what the subkick/the subwoofer actually does that makes the kick sound diff..?

[texandude87]

the subkick is actually a large diaphragm mic.  basically it captures lower frequencies better.

[Colliernator1000]

@buddyace37931 ok, this is essintialy a subwoofer/driver speaker mounted in a drum sell. there is postitive and negative terminals on the sub as with all ofther speakers. A mic cable is pluged up to the terminals some way (I really never looked to see how) and then plugged into a pa/mixer/interface/. So when you hit the kick, the speaker vibrations only pick up the real LOW end of the bass drum (around 20-30 hertz, which is something that you fell more, hear less)so I hope that helped you out.

[numanuma20]

I don't get it?

[wilsonhaha]

the DW 12''x14 sounded best I think, great sound :P

[stockdalemusic]

Im pretty sure you meant Sennheiser e902 not 602.

[mitool]

Looks like an e602 to me. Check 1:53.

[jedraszko666]

great video!!!

[undergroundjohnny]

That is truly amazing concept! I have never seen one before and now I want one! thank you for the great video!

[jsutton414]

basically its just a sub woofer wired backwards inside a drum shell. really easy to make.

[thatiamdisco]

I want one of these soo bad! Is it worth it or should I just make my own?

[Hysteriaqwerty]

I just made my own out of old stereo speakers and it sounds almost exactly the same as the real thing but waaaay cheaper!!!so In my opinion your better off making your own

[viktorgrafika]

Thanks for the video

[brettorrmusic]

The precious...

[Antoffka]

great vid 5/5

[yettibrad]

Can't wait to put mine on my 26" Ludwig kicks: one maple and one Vistalite!

[ToxicOrangeJuice]

He likes dw, XD very proffesional

[ThEaNtMuRdErEr]

are there certain genres for which it isn't good?

[DwDrumsGuizzz]

:) alors will, content du sub????
