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… ?
