Of course for actual recording drummer will bring his kit but for now I want to experiment with mic placement.
I have m160 x 1(hope to buy another one soon)
Cm4 x 2
Lrm-2b ribbon x 2
Tlm170 x 2
Beesneez m49 clone
M88
Sm57,58
D112 for kick. I’m going to bass drum head open, and put some towels to muffle them up as that’s the sound I’m going for.
What I want to archive is get decent drum recording by using 4-5 microphones. The music needs not so wide drums but sometimes it’s good to have options..
Any suggestions for mic placement or technique such as glyn John’s, etc… ?
ive recorded many projects with 2 m160's as overheads. either in a glyn johns sort of setup with one right over the snare and the other pointing at the snare peaking over the rim of the floor tom. i just move that side mic until i get what i need from the floor tom and the image seems cool.
ive also used m160s so many times for rooms.
with that set of mics i'd have the m88 in the kick drum. m160s as overheads. maybe 57 on the snare. the pair of ribbons or tlm170s as stereo room mics. i'd probably put the m49 out in front of the kit as a sort of mono front of kit mic.
