„My drums are all about progress and making a different kind of drum. I have shaped the drumsound for 30 years in studios for god knows who. I have received multi Gold and a Platinum Records for my work over the years. Masshoff Drums are based on real drumming and recording experience. THIS is is why those drums have been some of the most used and sampled drums over the last decade. From Apple, Alicia Keys, Nick Cave, Coldplay, Native Instruments, Toontrack to Charly Watts and into the living rooms of thousands of drummers who use the sound of my drums and tunings on their e-drums. In order to achieve that you really have to bring something special to the table. Every drum is handcrafted in my workshop. This year 2025 is the 15th Anniversary of the company and my 26th year in drum making and I still got tons of ideas and prototypes...

I just used his snare tuning method on a oak shell for a studio recording and it blew me away how dry and thick the tone was. The recording engineer was stoked, less work for him 😁

Great trick, love it! Can't wait to play with this in the studio.

I checked this out on my Pearl Ultracast...super cool tricks for live and recording gigs. Pulls out every possible tone from the snare with minimal effort! I'm in the process of playing around with this technique on my other snares.
