Hi gang,

some tips for recording a great drum sound ..

i track, mix, master

miketarsia.com

I hate to do this. I have to. I want to mic my drums. So here it goes...
I have a Shure Sm57 as an overhead mic.
I have an Audio-Technica At2020, (Which I'm cleverly using as a bass drum mic.) I might try to use it as an overhead.
And I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.

So for years now, at least since DAWs have given us the ability to move audio files around by infinitesimal amounts within a time line, I've both read and talked to other engineers about time aligning the overhead drum mics to the Snare and Kick...
I know there's also software available that can apparently time align those mics/tracks, although I've never used it.

Hello there,

next weekend i want to record a drum kit (death metal). I have the following microphones:

- 2x Sennheiser MD 421
- 1 pair of Oktava MK-012
- 2x AKG D190C
- 5x Beyerdynamic M69N
- 1x Audio-Technica AT4040

Which mic should i use for what?

about every tip I would be happy

Thank you very much!

Hello, I am looking for recommendations/opinions on drum mics. I currently have two AT2020s for overheads and an SM57 for the snare. I will be buying two MD421s for my toms. (I use a 4 piece drum kit.) I am leaning towards the E602 for the kick, but want to know if there are any other recommendations.

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.

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