With the continuing interest in minimal mic techniques for recording a drumkit, I thought I would demonstrate my technique.

What it sounds like

You will have to forgive the playing, its terrible.

I've recently recorded a band who loved the mix, but the drummer was unhappy with the snare sound. Now he's a big guy, with a big kit, and his playing is solid but funky. Very Bonham influenced. Anyway, when we initally discussed the sound they wanted, it was all about getting a huge sound from the kit.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and audio recording in general. I'm looking to get set up with the basic equipment for my birth into the realm of audio recording and had a question about Micing drums.

What's up, it's my first post here. Wanting to know if anyone has a trick up their sleeve...

hi guys

Hey all so I need your help on something. I have the option of A: using some kind of overhead technique and a mic on the ride and hh or B: Close Micing all cymbals/ride/hh. The style of music is modern punk/emo stuff. The room is not treated but I do have some rockwool wrapped in fabric propped up around the set. I need a wide stereo spread.

I have been using a keybaord to control my BFD drums for about a year, and I find that it negatively affects my drum creativity due to the inconvenience to use and the more unnatural feel compared to real drums.

Hi, i work mostly in classical music production, contemporary exactly, and lately i work with chromatic percussion instruments like vibes, marimba, glockenspiel etc.

Any recommendations,

between stereo micing or punctual with only one mic?

can anyone give me any tips on how to mix recorded drums so that every thing sound ok? Im a newbie at the whole home recording and I'm using the ezzdrummer, its ok but sometimes the ride cymbal is to low and the crash cymbals are to lound, but if I lower the crashes I lower the ride as well because of the overhead stuff which include the ride and the chrashes...!

Hi guys, I'm brand new here.
Be advised I know very, very little about sound and recording and I'm trying to record some drum covers for my youtube channel.
