Christopher Doom Schneider Biography
Here you can read what he was using before SABIAN:
TAMA Starclassic Maple
Starclassic Maple shells are 100% Maple. Toms and Floor Toms are 6-ply, Bass Drums are 7-ply and Snare Drums are 6-ply. They feature superior response, the warmth of premium maple shells, bottom end resonance, articulated highs, and the control of die-cast hoops. Tama’s “Back To Basics” approach to the Starclassic series includes: ultra-thin rigid shells and die-cast hoops, making Starclassic Maple one of the top choices for professional drummers today. Bass drums come with matching wood hoops. Toms come with Star-Cast Mounting System. Starclassic Maple drums are not drilled for bass drum or tom mounts.

His drumming is awesome i just have to say it can be a little bit more difficult but he still awesome
i love schneiders drum set & the way he drums!! its amazing RAMMSTEIN 4 LIFE!!!
hes using sabian now??…that sucks..he inspires me on playing Meinl =( hes still my idol and always be
Doom is using one electronic pad now. It’s a Dual Zone Tech Pad. If you want proof, look on the Ich Tu Dir Weh video.
I prefer Meinl cymbals, but other than that, your setup rocks. I especially like the 12″ snare — what a pop. Damn.
Hello All Christoph has a new signature stick with vic firth check it out
Hey, I’m 16 and I’ve been drumming for 7 years now, I’ve listened to Rammstein since the 3rd studio album was released, Mutter, I think I started playing drums because of that album… and therefor because of your drumming, so thank you for inspiring me. I by the way use the same cymbals as you, they are awesome and I can well understand why you use them… I was disappointed though that you started using Sabian, but maybe they are better, I’m going to keep using Meinl.
schneider he’s the best drummer in the world
i made my kit the same as his awsome!!!!
i have joey jordison’s cymbals tho to but alot of sabian to
best drummer ever tho!!!!!!
HHX amazing sound
His kit is bigger than ever. checkout sabian.com
Doom’s using sabian now. Check the sabian website.
Christoph is using Sonor SQ2 drums. He’s not using Tama any more.
this website needs to updates schneiders drum page.
But from what i just found out Doom cancelled his deal with mienl and now is using Sabian. Cause if you go to meinl cymbals website his files gone and it says on wikipedeia he’s switched. He switched May 19th. But we don’t know what kind of series he’s using.
@cole
First of all, Rammstein members don’t visit this site and asking them questions is useless.
And second, he is using Meinl
You have a great blog here and it is Nice to read some well written posts that have some relevancy…keep up the good work 😉
