From the mid-‘70s and through to today, the cream of the crop of European and international artists have recorded timeless works in this room. In here, anything from insanely popular German schlager to pop, rock and metal has been captured. For drums, it’s a perfect room – spacious but with a relatively moderate ceiling height, making it ambient without sounding overpowering. Simply put, the definition of a perfectly crafted and versatile drum room.
Early during the planning for this SDX, Michael expressed his desire to record a classic Camco kit in the Marble Room. We eventually found the ideal one over in the UK and ended up shipping it over to Berlin for the session. This specific set is from the brand’s 1970s L.A. era and this kit is probably best described as the perfect allround choice for a kit. Having a thick and warm sound but still a really crisp finish to its tones, it really works in any mix or style of music.
“This Camco was the only vintage kit I brought in for this session. I’ve been a fan of these drums for a long time already. I think they were the perfect choice for the Live Room.” – Michael Ilbert
