Hello, its my first time that i am Micing a drum, my mics are:

1 sm58
2 sm57
4 Sennheiser E604
1 Audio-Technica PRO-25

for the first time the tims, kick and snare as a great sound.

Hi everyone,

I was recording a drum track last night at my studio and the craziest thing happened!

First let me explain that I play all the instruments and do all the producing/recording/engineering myself, so as you can imagine at times getting a good track can take quite a lot of time (sometimes up to 8 hours with no accomplished result!)

I have a really basic question (even though I'm sure that the answers probably won't be!)...I've always heard that there are so many different ways to record a good set. Is there any particular technique that you should use over any other? The Shure Kit I have (with the SM57's) seems to be able to handle it...

ANY ideas or suggestions would be great! Thanks!
