randomly arrived here and 10 seconds in, turned my head to a snare thats been gathering dust in the corner of bleep cave for a year or more. i now have intentions, it has apprehensions.
A lot of the scraping sounded very similar, and so I wonder if you would get more distinct sounds (from a single surface) by using a surface that is smoother, without as much existing scuffing/dirt.
yeah that's the main problem - it's often the sound of the surface rather than the objects upon it. A totally smooth surface wouldn't really work at all, i don't think - you need some friction in order to get any scrape. Perhaps some intermediary material might help though - something I should try
That phasing effect I hear is like candy to my ears. Can you tell us where the contact mics are exactly? I am guessing you taped them where the 2 black circles are on the drum skin, on the underside?
@@grahamdunning cool, thank you. I have 2 contact mics and a zoom handy recorder, I will try to do the same as you (though I don't have a drum skin!). Thanks for the inspiration.
Is this two contact mics on the marked positions panned hard left and right, or is the surface below (a tray if I'm seeing correctly) working in some other way ?

Excellent! Please report back - would love to hear what you get up to
wow, that’s so much more entertaining than panning in postproduction
some parts are really relaxing - thanks for the video
07:20 is wonderful
thanks, glad you enjoyed
Thanks for the video. I feel inspired.
Amazing work
This is dope. Your work is appreciated.
Beauty. Where did you put the contact mic in relation to the drum?
Thanks - they're attached where the black circles are
One of the easiest ones to make! Thanks! Shalom.
Is this asmr?
If you like!
it's high brow asmr

Great demo.
very cool
hell yeah
That's how we make sample
Very nice. What kind of piezos you are using?
Is there any eq applied?
This is wonderful thank you
Lovely. I’ve been scraping a lot recently too. Are you using. A preamplifier for your contact mic?
Thanks! No preamp, just into a DJ mixer so I can control the EQ there.
get multiple feathers and the first one and it'll sound like rain on a tin roof
you need more resonance surface, big one, thin plywood or big can, or both same time.
That could be nice. Here I prefer a more close, deadened sounds
Wow! Where did you get those metallic harps from?
those are the snare wires off the bottom of a snare drum, cut in half
That phasing effect I hear is like candy to my ears. Can you tell us where the contact mics are exactly? I am guessing you taped them where the 2 black circles are on the drum skin, on the underside?
Correct, yes, under the black circles. Just attached to the back of the skin. The channels are panned left/right.

@@senglorama No worries! Hope it gives satisfactory results :)
I could see it’s a Remo drumhead , can you tell me the exact size of it please ? Thinking to give this setup a go
Hello, it's a 12" snare skin - but I think any size would work really. Let me know how you get on!
look up Crank Sturgeon. Audio engineer and noise artist from Maine who makes costumes and props using contact mics, etc...
yeah he's great!
9:05 drone
what kind of microphones are you using ? great job btw
Thanks - just a pair of contact mics. Cheap piezo transducer disks into a DJ mixer.
Love it!
I was hoping to hear the bone...
i was waiting for that one too... :|
what kind of contact mics are you using?
Just standard 1" piezo disks
Would you make some music out of this?
I would use this as an instrument - use these sounds in a live performance.
Is this two contact mics on the marked positions panned hard left and right, or is the surface below (a tray if I'm seeing correctly) working in some other way ?
no, you're correct. the tray is just to hold the surface in place.
8:46 my fav sound. i hate it!
Had 2 pull out mi EarPhones 4 this 1 . . .
job done!
wtf???
