Hi! I'm going to be recording a drummer to tracks already done. He's an excellent drummer with excellent gear, including mics.

I've got 2 choices - record in a reverberant garage (American style, 2-car, sheet rock, high ceiling, and pullup door), or record outside. It's in the country so outside noises won't be a problem.

How hot should levels be going into the DAW? Peaks at -20? Should I make all close and far mics the same? Any other thoughts?

Hi guys and girls, it's been a while... good to be back. So, after a long recording road I finally have the money to purchase gear to record drums.

Hey guys. I have always used EZdrummer, but for the first time I am working on a song with real acoustic drums that were recorded in a professional studio. I have a couple questions for you guys who have done this a few times:

Oh Ya! 2 Bricasti M7's are better than one lol:

I just did a mix for a guy on the slutz for fun. Spent a few hours, that's it. I didn't get all the track either so a bit is missing from the original. Not trying to get too involved but it was more to play with the second M7 that I just added. Listen to the drums on this compared to ITB. It was so easy to do this.

I've got a hankering to try some three mic recording techniques for drums. Here's what I have to work with:

hey all.
so i bought my new gear which includes:
- KRK ROOKIT 6
- Tascam US-122-MKII
- SE Electronics X1 LD Cardriod Condenser Microphone
- Meledi DD506 (E DRUM KIT)
this is my very first "professional" setup.

now.. I'm about to buy MFB NanoZwerg Monophonic Analouge Synthesizer and i want to know some stuff.

so i begin:

Ok so I understand that many professional studios use big open wooden rooms to record drums in to get a more punchy sound. I happened to come across an article that said if you go out and buy plywood to put over the walls (and floor if there's carpet) that it will help achieve something close to that sound you can achieve in the professional studio.

Set: DW Collector's Edition with Remo heads
18x22 Bass - evans inked front (with port), black suede power stroke 3
4x14 Snare - black suede ambassador top and black suede snare side
9x12 Tom - black suede ambassador top and bottom
11x14 Tom - black suede ambassador top and bottom

I would like for you guys to check this video out. I'm curious to hear what peoples favorite kick drum mic choices are!
