From a non-drummer: Christoph Schneider is amazing as a live performer. Like a human metronome. I am always astounded as to how close to the album they can play as a group and I think this has a lot to do with how good Schneider is.
"Liebe ist für alle da" was Christophe Schneider's coming-out party: He literally comes out swingin' on "Ich Tu Dir Weh" and turns up the heat to melt face on "Waidmanns Heil" and "Haifisch." There was just something inspiring about recording his drum parts in the big room at the Henson studios in Hollywood: Maybe Kermit & Co. helped him find another gear or something.
There was a documentary where they (the band (believe richard)) was talking about how christophe had learned a completely different way of drumming.. He did mention how they were excited to showcase the different style. The ever simple sounding changes of rammstein that make them great 30 years and going.
I love how each of the newer albums documents a different band member truly and fully maturing as a musician, and as a member of Rammstein. I've said to countless people that Untitled was where Flake came into his own, and everyone (musician or not) agrees. I've studied his sound for over a decade, so I hear the beauty in all his work, but he absolutely blossomed on Untitled, the synth work was insane.
therapy sessions is the bands' solution, which should be an example for all the other famous bands, which end breaking up, instead of doing like Rammstein
*MEHR* is a gem which was never performed live! I still don´t understand why! What about a XXX-mas, Easterbunny, Sommersonnenwende-Edition or what ever you'ld call the Album with just Ballads and rare or never live played Songs? It must be worth a fortune!
The most game changing song comes out from Reise, Reise album and it's Morgenstern with this kind of basic latin groove that wasn't heard before in a Rammstein song and actually that's why most of us love this album. It has everything covered, from the straight forward industrial vibe, to the more experimental sounds or some great power ballads
Glad you mentioned Morgenstern. I absolutely adore this song! It's still completely unique in their whole discography, even to this day. Reise, Reise and Rosenrot are great albums! :)
My favorite Drum sound has always been Herzeleid. That snare just hits you like a baseball bat and Drives every song. Every song has this heartbeat that just gets me going. It's a great album to put on in your car on long drives.
LIFAD Is easily my favorite album of theirs, I loved the more heavy metal approach they took, bringing a new level of intricacies that made everything so much more interesting.
DOOM is so delightful and almost lyrical on his snare using all kinds of half-beat little lead-in notes and the precise ring in the cymbal sounds give everything a lift: the band is so tight that he has the ability to put emotions into the rhythm.
This goes to show that less is more. Drummers try too hard (myself included) to go all out every song. All out meaning: complex parts ect. We want to be so outrageous we lose our roots! I love Chris's playing. So simple and a few hidden changes. Every time you listen, you find something new you haven't noticed before.
To be honest, being a drummer for more than 12 years, I love the drum sound in all their albums. Each sound and groove Schneider used was very special in its artistic ways, it's very hard for me to pick only one album as my favourite. For example, those toms' sound in Herzeleid is so unique, I never heard that sound in other bands' songs. What I also love about Schneider playing style, is that he can use both of his hands in the hi-hat. I cannot use left-hand, only right-hand, and many drummers are like this, but Schneider belongs to the 1% who can play hi-hat with left hand.
Just started listening to Rammstein recently and it's just been amazing going through almost 30 years of material and seeing how much they can do with so little. Like the vast majority of their material isn't really all that technically complex, but all of it so intense and moving. Idk, as someone's who's been trying to improve my own guitar playing, the fact that you can elicit such raw emotion with pretty simple power chord progressions and drum patterns is just kind of inspiring
rammstein production is just mindblowing, my favorite album is rosenrot and riese riese, i think probably they record them at the same time, the making of riese riese videos explains that process, Rammstein teachs us all that music complex is further that just only technique and speed
I look at them like sister albums. Yes, a good deal of the songs were recorded at the same time. You can really notice when you pay attention to the keyboard sounds.
My Top And most interesting drum tracks: Herzeleid: Der Meister Sehnsucht: Alter Mann Mutter: Zwitter Reise Reise: Keine Lust Rosenrot: Benzin LIFAD: Waidmanns Heil or LIFAD Rammstein: Radio
6 songs from Rosenrot were recorded during the Reise, Reise sessions, 4 were written during that time but recorded later and one was done completely seperate.
Spiel mit mir is to me the most industrial, german thing ever! It sounds like what would happen if robots could play music, I love it. The drums are so efficient, no beat is wasted and every hit is has a purpose.
I think it goes without saying that each member of Rammstein are master class musicians. without any of them Rammstein wouldn't be the same. I think that's why they've worked to keep their relationships so tight. I can't think of any other band that's been so consistent throughout the years. I love each member with all my heart I hope they continue to rock out for years to come
Christoph's drumming serves the song. Rammstein sound is all about tension, groove and power and he delivers perfectly. Anything else would sound messy and indulgent.
Reise Reise is my favourite, I think. The song itself has my favourite drum sound. Those rimshots in the intro are just powerful. And so if the magnitude of the whole song following the intro.
For me, Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da its the epitome of Rammstein record history, and Ich Tu Dir Weh is the most powerful song of Rammstein catalog. They combine all the stile of the earliest albums and they give us that song.
I always liked the drumming in Küss Mich. One of my favorite songs overall because every bit of the band is noticeable, especially the bass. Wish they'd play it live.
As someone who played drums in high school jazz band, the beat for "Du Hast" (and many others) is one of my favorite grooves to play. I have used it for a few bands of different genres I played in.
He didn't use double bass back then... So on Herzeleid, Live Aus Berlin, Mutter, Etc it's a double pedal... I believe he's first double bass appearance was on Keine Lust video in 2004...
His bass drums sounds so huge live it's crazy. Before the show his drum tech Rossi Roßberg came on stage and did one kick on the bass drum, it almost knocked me of my feet 😂 That was probably the coolest thing he could have done
I'm currently working my way through their discography for the first time, so this video was very well-timed! Deutschland is what really drew me in to the band, and I was amazed by how powerful the drums sounded on that song.
The album reise reise was my fav. But I started out listening to them as an 8 year old and his drumming made me want to play and I have been playing for 20 years. My dad laughed at me… I ran to my room and I called his mom with the phone and told his mom, my grandma that he’d had laughed at me and my pride was hurt and that if my older brother can have a guitar 🎸 I better be able to get a drumset. He had bought me a 100 dollar Adam drum kit thinking I wouldn’t pursue and I’d give up, but here I am 20 years later and going 🤘
Define ‘best band’. You might mean favourite band but you can’t say one band is better than the next. Different musicians, songs, engineers, live shows, singers, genres etc.
My absolute favorite drum part in Rammstein discography is 'Reise, Reise' (the song) both the sound of the drums and the groove are killers! Followed by 'Ich tu dir weh' groove, which is from my favorite album.
@@VagonGeroev You mean that part in Das Alte Leid? Maybe there's more but I mostly mean it that he actually started using it in songs and added it to his live drum kit 👍
Love Rammstein since was a kid, saw them live in Oslo, Ullevål 2019, my first time saw them live and was amazing, memories for life❤🤟😎🇳🇴 Have all the allbum, live dvds, vökerball❤ Awsome video, keine lust one off many favorite songs, love all albums😎👏
Liebe ist für Alle da is such a great sounding album overall. But my favorite album is Reise Reise, there are so many songs on the other albums, but I like the way this album is build from top to bottom. Amour is such a great way to finish the album and Reise Reise starts it with full energy ...
All I'm getting from this video is "His style is pretty simple and didn't change much throughout the years." Then why go through all of the albums like this at all instead of picking one song and really going in-depth about it? There's so much you could have said about a song like "Keine Lust" for example, which is actually one of the more unique Rammstein songs (like the triplet feel that gives it a pretty different vibe from most of their other songs and really drives the song forward or the bridge part that gets almost proggy for Rammstein standards).
When it comes to the best drum sound, I will go with Reise, Reise. Especially bacause its the album where you really can hear a top production and sound. Schneider has been playing Meinl Soundcasters cymbals on this album. There is a documentary about the sessions and recording in Mexico, where the studio engineer set up 20 mics to the kit, to get the best overall sound. My fave drum track is Dalai Lama, bacause its so much different.
Impossible. Soundcaster series were released in 2004 by Meinl. Eventhough this album released that same year, it was recorded between 2002-2003. While it remains possible Schneider acquired R&D models/prototypes (as he had the Byzance Dark Spectrum Hats prototype for LIFAD), the visuals of the cymbals don't match. The crashes can be seen to be either A or A Custom. The hihat might've been a prototype as it sounds quite similar to a Soundcaster 14" Medium hihat (which I happen to have IRL). But I think it's actually a K Zildjian. He also used a K Zildjian for his main kit in the tour, while switching to Soundcaster/Soundcaster Custom for the Los mini kit. China is B8 (not B12) as it is far more orange hued, so that isn't one either. Ride cymbal is unknown, but doesn't sound remotely to what Soundcaster rides sound like.
I enjoy all of their albums, but drum wise, it has to be the last one, where they integrate all the developments from their previous efforts. The sound production is another aspect that they always handled so well. This huge but clean sound that almost feels like programmed. The "simplicity" of the drum parts makes this heavy music somewhat more accesible to a broader audience. Fav songs: haifisch, Morgenstern, alter mann
I wonder a bit, why you highlited the Double Bassdrum work on the LIFAD album, but not the unique shuffle like feel of "Ich tu dir weh", wich is also very unusual for a Rammstein song, which mostly are pretty straight forward 4 on the floor
Could you possibly do a recreation of Nicke Andersson's drumsound on Entombed's "Stranger Aeons" (1991)? The double kickdrum on that specific recording is so enourmously thunderous. Especially for the time it was recorded.
You released this video 8 days before "Zeit" was released!! Why not wait and include the newest album in your video? "Reise, Reise" is solidly my favorite album, but it's impossible to choose a favorite Rammstein song.
I'm a little bit late to the party but even though my favorite Rammstein album is probably Reise Reise, I think in terms of drums, Gib Mir Deine Augen is pretty underrated and it's probably my favorite.
Reise Reise is to me the best one regarding quality of the songs and as I can also see in other comments, the best one from a drumming perspective. I think you underwhelmed Schneider's work here. This is something acknowledged by Richard Kruspe in interviews, that the drumming was totally new. In fact, in this album Schneider finally uses different dynamics and a more sophisticated playing of the cymbals. It's all over the place very remarkable, but if I have to highlight one song, I would mention the opener Reise Reise, its high hat and bass groove and the fantastic break before the string solo.
Honestly, my biggest complaint regarding drum sound in Rammstein is that they (mostly) got rid of the industrial, high pitched snare, in favor of a more standard (I'd even say generic) sounding one. Glad it's back on Zeit tho :)
I re-discovered Rammstein only lately ...as a Lead Guitar player there wasn't that much to learn in their albums for me apart from some different approaches to rythmic guitars. After having gone thru Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, DeepPurple, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, Black Sabbath, Santana, Pink Floyd, Gary Moore, EVH and many others it was time for me for something different and when I listened by coincidence to a song called "Was Ich liebe" and later on to "Deutschland" these fired some new interest and inspiration for me. Whatabout Rammstein's drums. bass and rythm guitars plus some lead guitars ? I'm already working on it 🙂
In terms of drumming and drum sound together with the music my most favourite album is Liebe ist für alle da. Waidmanns Heil is a drum and guitar blast
I noticed that many Rammstein songs, and during their live shows too, there is an electronic hihat sound at every upbeat. Where does it comes from? I mean, from a technical perspective during their live shows? It does not seem to be Schneider that triggers it. Is it coming from Flake keyboard? How is it synced with the metronome Schneider has in-ear?
Reise Reise is my favourite Album but my favorite songs are slightly unusual picks. Dalai Lama and Amour are super nice to play on drums and i really like them, but my favorite Song overall is Mein Teil, not because of the drumming but the overall sound. I just love that song
Топовые грувы у Шнайдера - духастоподобные, Бензин - отпад, Манн геген манн люблю за 2 малых барабана, Ихь ту дир вее за куплет, майн тайль за куплет, вставочка в Вайсесс Фляйш с 2-мя бочками - вообще пушка, эталон индастриала. Спасибо! Крутое видео!
Reise, Reise is a magnificent album, absolutely mindblowing compared to their earlier works. They actually recorded Reise, Reise and Rosenrot simultaneously, and I think my favourite Schneider's groove is probably Mann gegen Mann.
Favorite is Also Reise Reise, Maybe LOS from that album hits me the best.. SO well mixed and organized and huge contrast to the rest of the album.. But ey, when showing "Double Kick" please show an angel that makes sense, and turn up the kick a little... i hav mid-range studio monitors and i couldnt barely make them.
The best album imo is Mutter, as a whole album. My favourite song is Tier though, but i enjoy all the albums as they are all different in sound throughout the band, the evolution and devolution of parts played can really change the dynamics of their songs.
I really love Mutter, it was the first album I ever bought with my own money so it kinda has a special place for me (I bought it after seeing Ich Will on MTV, love that song!). My second favorite is probably either Rammstein or Sehnsucht, depend on when you ask me ;-) but honestly, they haven’t put out one bad album imho
Danke ! I was blown away with Mutter. I love how simple and catchy the songs were. I cannot stand tech metal or math metal where the songs have ZERO groove at all.
From a non-drummer: Christoph Schneider is amazing as a live performer. Like a human metronome. I am always astounded as to how close to the album they can play as a group and I think this has a lot to do with how good Schneider is.
Reise Reise is an absolute masterpiece. The drums and overall production is amazing!
and let's not forget one of the most complex drum fill ever done in a Rammstein song
@@OliverBusse in which Song?
Crap pop metal album
Schneider is a literal anchor for the bands sound. His sound is heavy and tight, making sure everyone stays where they are and don't drift off
And by literal, you mean figurative. 🤦🏾♂️
@@deathwrenchcustom it don’t matter lmao

@@Corvid I completely agree, Weit Weg is just something else
The double bass on Frühling in paris is my favorite part on the whole album
The fact that they have been around for nearly 30 years with ZERO line-up changes is amazing
Also Mehr is one of my favorite songs to drum along with
It's because if anyone in the band has a problem they stop and deal with it instead of ignoring it.
Also U2 have been the same lineup for 46 years.
therapy sessions is the bands' solution, which should be an example for all the other famous bands, which end breaking up, instead of doing like Rammstein

is a gem which was never performed live!

Great video man! The drums of Rammstein is like a war march drum, Links 2-3-4 is a good example! And ofcourse Sonne is a masterpiece.
Radios groove is good enough it got me back in after 10 years.
I always liked the drumming in Küss Mich. One of my favorite songs overall because every bit of the band is noticeable, especially the bass. Wish they'd play it live.

The closing track of Reise Reise has more dynamics, with quieter verses and ghost notes
Best drum sound was absolutely Lifad album.
That's the Sonor SQ2.
@@arbogast4950 Nope. He used the SQ2 live, but LIFAD was recorded on a Delite.

my two favorites albums is MUTTER and ROSENROT
Good taste. I really liked how heavy Rosenrot was without being fast. Spring, Hilf Mir, Wo Bist Du, are all great songs.

Definitely Reise Reise for me! Love the drumming on this one :)
Drinking game:
Take a shot every time he says "straightforward"

After having gone thru Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, DeepPurple, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, Black Sabbath, Santana, Pink Floyd, Gary Moore, EVH and many others it was time for me for something different and when I listened by coincidence to a song called "Was Ich liebe" and later on to "Deutschland" these fired some new interest and inspiration for me. Whatabout Rammstein's drums. bass and rythm guitars plus some lead guitars ? I'm already working on it 🙂
Thanks for the album walkthrough, very good information even for non-drummers
Reise Reise is my favorite album! That's the drum sound I associate with Rammstein, the groove on Keine Lust is prob my favorite
Man, personally, I think Weisses Fleisch must be one of the best songs in Herzeleid
Really interesting and great to listen too. Funny how you hear different things
In terms of drumming and drum sound together with the music my most favourite album is Liebe ist für alle da. Waidmanns Heil is a drum and guitar blast
The sound of the drums is like a hammer... You could say..a battering ram...
Rammstein Mutter album is my favorite and song feuer frei!
Los IS my favorite song on Reise Reise.
Ed Norton for sure rocks!
I noticed that many Rammstein songs, and during their live shows too, there is an electronic hihat sound at every upbeat. Where does it comes from? I mean, from a technical perspective during their live shows? It does not seem to be Schneider that triggers it. Is it coming from Flake keyboard? How is it synced with the metronome Schneider has in-ear?
LIFAD! 😍
My favorite drum parts would be Keine Lust and Benzin
Reise Reise is my favourite Album but my favorite songs are slightly unusual picks. Dalai Lama and Amour are super nice to play on drums and i really like them, but my favorite Song overall is Mein Teil, not because of the drumming but the overall sound. I just love that song
Топовые грувы у Шнайдера - духастоподобные, Бензин - отпад, Манн геген манн люблю за 2 малых барабана, Ихь ту дир вее за куплет, майн тайль за куплет, вставочка в Вайсесс Фляйш с 2-мя бочками - вообще пушка, эталон индастриала. Спасибо! Крутое видео!
So interesting !! Thanks for the video :D
Man Gegen Man is a great song to listen/play
Rammstein is extremely popular here, in Ukraine 🇺🇦

Mutter and Reise are their best Albums
Reise, Reise is a magnificent album, absolutely mindblowing compared to their earlier works. They actually recorded Reise, Reise and Rosenrot simultaneously, and I think my favourite Schneider's groove is probably Mann gegen Mann.
That piccolo snare he uses at the start of Mann gegen Mann is what i strive for as a main snare tone
@@camh4656 as far as I know, it's one of the two Bill Bruford signature snare drums, the 10x5.5 one. Totally stunning
Favorite is Also Reise Reise, Maybe LOS from that album hits me the best.. SO well mixed and organized and huge contrast to the rest of the album.. But ey, when showing "Double Kick" please show an angel that makes sense, and turn up the kick a little... i hav mid-range studio monitors and i couldnt barely make them.
The best album imo is Mutter, as a whole album. My favourite song is Tier though, but i enjoy all the albums as they are all different in sound throughout the band, the evolution and devolution of parts played can really change the dynamics of their songs.
Love the video
And love all there music
Reise, Reise has two very different songs (drumming wise) that was not mentioned! We have the grooves from Morgenstern, Amour!
I really love Mutter, it was the first album I ever bought with my own money so it kinda has a special place for me (I bought it after seeing Ich Will on MTV, love that song!).
My second favorite is probably either Rammstein or Sehnsucht, depend on when you ask me ;-) but honestly, they haven’t put out one bad album imho
I never heard of them til Family Values Tour '98.
You should mention Adios from Mutter, one of most complex drum lines is there.
Ok I‘m gonna grab my snacks and enjoy these 20minutes 🧃🍿🍩
Sad to see that Zeit isn’t here because the album is so extremely good
Danke ! I was blown away with Mutter. I love how simple and catchy the songs were. I cannot stand tech metal or math metal where the songs have ZERO groove at all.
Liebe ist fur alle da really pushes me to play double bass!
LIFAD hat wirklich DEN Sound....
