Audio Drums

Well, I didn't get a chance to come in and experiment with recording drums for this week's task which is annoying. I was keen to try some different mics on the toms and play with the placement of overheads and after reading everyone else's blogs, I am definitely going to have to start using a room mic as well. So, I have for you a drum recording I prepared earlier.... kick - beta 52 as inside the drum as I could get it and pointing at the beaters snare - SM 57s top and bottom Toms 1, 2 - Sm 57 close miced Tom3, floor - Beta 56s close miced overheads - NT5s left and right using rule of thirds The Kick drum has been EQed using the smiley curve to try and make it as clicky as possible.
