Sonor is proud to announce that from now Christoph Schneider uses exclusive Sonor Drums and hardware!

Christopher is most probably known as a drummer of Rammstein, the internationally most successful German band, according to the “Billboard Magazine”. With countless awards and millions of records sold Rammstein have continued with more than 400 concerts in over 35 countries worldwide. Christopher is a founding member, the band was created in 1994.

His first contact with Sonor was already when he was a child, when he sat behind the drums. At the time he fell after extensive tests with the “Giant Step” series bass drum pedals in “love”.

In September, Christopher went on his way to Auchinleck-Aue to manufacture it, and finally, of course, also extensively test it in various tests.

His choice was very fast on the “Delite” series from North American maple. To decorate two 22×17.5 “bass drum, 10×7″ and 12×8 “Tom Toms, 16×16″ and 18×16 “floor toms his setup. In addition to a matching 12×5 “Side Snare from the” Delite “series, he also uses the bronze-(AS 07 1406 BRB) and Cottonwood Maple model (AS 07 1406 CM) from the” Artist “series. Completes the set with stands from the 600 series, a GDPR 3 Double Pedal from the Giant Step Series, as well as various basic arm system accessories such as an X-hat holder.

Interview: “Oomph!” guitarist Flux talks about the evolution of his band and the other goals. He also said something about Rammstein.

Flux - Oomph

Question: People always say, you are the original and Rammstein the copy. What do you think about such statements?

Flux: In the music history is it so that we founded our group 20 years ago, and Rammstein just the mid-1990s. They were with us at the concerts and had their first demos we delivered. They call us nicely in interviews again and again as the influence and sources of inspiration. However, Rammstein then went their way and we ours further. Rammstein play with stereotypes, which we would never do. If we do these sterotypes, we could not see our face in the mirror next morning.

Question: What awaits the visitor at your concert tour?

Flux: Our show focuses primarily on us as personalities. If you have expected a fire show like Rammstein, you are wrong. We do not want such distracting elements in our music. Of course we will play many songs from the new album, but also many older stuff, so a colorful cross-section of our creation. It will be a big party, Dena goes into the audience to work with people.

It was one of the worst air shows in history. It is now twenty years after 28th August 1988 when 70 people died after the collision of three machines in Ramstein, Germany. More than four hundreds were seriously injury. Those who survived live with the mutulation effects to this day.

It took seven seconds, which changed the fate of thousands of people. It was 15 hours 44 minutes and one of the largest outbreak of air tragedies. Towards the audience began valit huge fire blast, the remains of the aircraft were flying everywhere. Panic. Screaming. Scene from the Vietnam War. But instead of napalm was there burning kerosin – and after that burning flash. No more singing birds.
