Drumsound Workshops

Drumtuning Masterclass Workshop with Udo Masshoff

The drums “don’t sound”? Often the reflexive grip on the tape follows, the drummer hands over the responsibility to the sound engineer. It doesn’t have to be! In Udo Masshoff’s Drumsound School we look at the “trouble spot” drums, how to approach the topic of voices, what should be considered with heads and which drum sizes are recommended for which sound ideas.

This course is an investment in your skills as a drummer! Udo Masshoff will personally tell you his secrets and tricks for a great drum sound. Then you’ll be able to tune your drums the way you want and create drum sounds for any musical genre at any time – and relatively independent of the drum set.

You’ll even get a good sound out of a cheap set with his method.

Target group:

The course is aimed at drummers of all levels (beginners to professionals), drum teachers, sound engineers and producers.

All questions will be answered in the workshop. No matter if your focus is on live or recording (or both).
