I have a friend who own the 7 piece mic kit.
He's not any other drummer, he took part at the Montreal DrumFest 2004
He said he likes the Shures or AKG but CAD are good ones 2.

did you ever tried one?

the price range vs quality seems good to me 45$ not 199.99$ as Shure or AKG.

I own a 421 i just love it.
what you think about all this?

i have only four microphones to record the drums with. we do it in a very large open room. usually we put one in the bass drum, one in between the hi-hat and snare, one overhead, and one near the ride cymbal and the floor tom. Sadly this is all recorded onto one track. So all the mixing of the drums must de done before it is recorded. then when eq it, it eq's the whole drumset.

I will be recordinging drums in a dormatory soon and was wondering if anyone had some tips to make the best of it. The only room I have to record in sounds pretty bad.

Ok, the Mbox has 2 inputs. What if I want to use 8 mic's on my drums? Where do I plug all those cables into?

Is there a piece of hardware that allows me to combine all them signalls into one?

I would really appreciate some feedback

Thankyou

Hi all. Looking to add mics for recording acoustic drums to my studio.

Hey i'm working on an album with my band, and we are currently checking drums in a room that we've treated for the drum sounds we want. I have two LDC's behind the kit about 5 feet back and a couple feet off the ground, and there is a couch immediately behind them (there was a little too much reflection off the back wall getting into the mics and this destroyed it perfectly).

Hey everyone,

Probably a dumb question that I may already know the answer to, but I thought I'd ask anyhow.

Hello fellow studio junkies.
I am a drummer/aspiring studio tech.
I currently use Reason and its drum sounds to make beats. Being a drummer I feel it is cumbersome laying down 4 different tracks for something I could play in one take on a kit.

I am looking for suggestions for a versatile kick drum mic. Something that can get a tight rock/funk sound on a 22", and get an open jazz sound on an 18". Any recommendations? Considering Audix D6, AKG D112, Shure Beta 52.

Any comments on these, or other mic.s would be appreciated.

hi..

i want to record an entire drum kit onto my computer so that each drum has its own track in Logic Express.

now here's where the confusion lies..

i'll be needing about 8 inputs..one for each drum mic.

do they need to have preamps or can they be un-amped.
